(a) with respect to Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR; or

-5-

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities.

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

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

“Benchmark Transition Event”: the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

-6-

(c) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period”: the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.19 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.19.

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans during the Availability Period.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to Section 2.1(c), Revolving Credit Loans shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Line Cap at such time.

(c) In the event that (i) the Borrower is unable to comply with the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(b)(B) or (ii) the Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans set forth in Section 4.2, in either case, the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower, in either case solely in the event that the Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, expenses and fees, which Revolving Credit Loans may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Agent first receives a Borrowing Request requesting an Agent Advance or otherwise makes an Agent Advance until the earlier of (x) the date the Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans, or obtain an amendment or waiver with respect thereto, (y) the date that is thirty (30) days after the funding of the initial Agent Advances and (z) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”); provided that the Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Agent Advance, the amount of such Agent Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base at such time or (II) when added to the Total Revolving Credit Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time.

(d) On any Business Day (but in any event no less frequently than once per week), the Agent may, in its sole discretion give notice to the Lenders that the Agent’s outstanding Agent Advances shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 7.1), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all applicable Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.1) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Agent to repay the Agent for such outstanding Agent Advances.

an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, (v) the amount of the Borrowing Base at such time and (vi) whether such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Agent such participations in the outstanding Agent Advances as shall be necessary to cause the applicable Lenders to share in such Agent Advances ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.1); provided that (x) all interest payable on the Agent Advances shall be for the account of the Agent until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after the time any purchase of participations is actually made and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Agent interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Credit Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Pro Forma Availability is greater than $35.0 million (it being understood that the making of a Letter of Credit shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower as of the date of such Letter of Credit that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4(a)(v) were satisfied as of the date of such Letter of Credit).

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of an L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as such L/C Issuer and the Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); and (3) the nature of the proposed amendment. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Agent that the Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

-50-

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not (x) permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.4(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if immediately confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (y) be obligated to permit such renewal if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if immediately confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such renewal.

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

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, and such L/C Issuer shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. If such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such payment, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such payment date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such payment date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such payment date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for

-51-

the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this clause (i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including each Revolving Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 2.4 make funds available (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to its Applicable Lender Percentage of the relevant Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section 2.4, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in accordance with the instructions provided to the Agent by such L/C Issuer (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such L/C Issuer, provided that, unless the Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Agent).

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 2.4 shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.4.

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

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligations to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this paragraph (c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such funding of a participation in any Letter of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

-52-

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Revolving Lender its L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.4(c), if the Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Lender Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.15 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Lender Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

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

-53-

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

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

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

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

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

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the requisite Revolving Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts of omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.4(e); provided that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, the Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment were caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or such L/C Issuer’s wilful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation

-54-

to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(h) Conflict with L/C Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any L/C Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(i) Reporting. Not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each week (or at such other intervals as the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree), each L/C Issuer shall provide to the Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer during such month.

(j) Replacement of an L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.10(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous L/C Issuer, or such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, or otherwise amend any then existing Letter of Credit.

Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, or otherwise amend any then existing Letter of Credit.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with L/C Obligations representing at least 66-2/3% of the total L/C Obligations) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account or accounts established and maintained on the books and records of the Agent (the “Collateral Account”) an amount in cash equal to 105% of the

-55-

total L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.1(f). Such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility under this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (d) of this Section 2.4, if any L/C Obligations remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (d), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of such L/C Obligations as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse each L/C Issuer for L/C Advances for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with L/C Obligations representing 66-2/3% of the total L/C Obligations), after satisfaction in full of any and all Obligations in respect of any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or Unreimbursed Amounts, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for account of Affiliates. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, an Affiliate of the Borrower that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, the Borrower shall be obligated as a primary obligor to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and irrevocably waives any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of obligations of such Affiliate. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Affiliates of the Borrower that are Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Company inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Affiliates. To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Affiliate of the Borrower that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, the Borrower agrees that (i) such Affiliate shall have no rights against the L/C Issuer, the Agent or any Lender, (ii) the Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) the Borrower shall have sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and the Letter of Credit, and the disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) the Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transaction related thereto. The Borrower shall, at the request of the L/C Issuer, cause such Affiliate to execute and deliver an agreement confirming the terms specified in the immediately preceding sentence and acknowledging that it is bound thereby.

-56-

Section 2.5 Funding of Borrowings

(a) Except for Borrowings to be made as an Agent Advance, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that same-day Base Rate Loans will be made by each Lender on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that if on the date of such Borrowing there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.5 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.6 Interest Elections

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided, that, if the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in the Borrowing Request, then the Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and if the Borrower requests a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.6. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election Electronically by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request submitted Electronically shall be irrevocable.

(c) Each Interest Election Request submitted Electronically shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

(i) the Borrower with respect to such Borrowing;

(ii) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

-57-

(iii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.7 Termination or Reduction or Reallocation of Commitments

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty terminate or reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility or the L/C Sublimit; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1.0 million (or the remainder of such Revolving Credit Commitments); (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.9, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Line Cap at such time; (iii) the L/C Sublimit shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit and (iv) any termination or permanent reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower; provided, further, that, upon any such partial reduction of the L/C Sublimit, unless the Borrower, the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuers otherwise agree, the amount of the L/C Commitments of the L/C Issuers will be reduced proportionately by the amount of such reduction. For avoidance of doubt, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate.

-58-

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility or the L/C Sublimit pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.7 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the L/C Sublimit delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition, sale or other transaction and such notice may be extended or rescinded. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the L/C Sublimit shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (other than any such reduction resulting from the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.18) shall be made ratably among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility.

Section 2.8 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date.

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

(c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.8 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) and the accounts of any Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) in respect of such matters, the accounts of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender may request in writing through the Agent that the Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more Note in such form payable to the payee named therein (or its registered assigns).

Section 2.9 Prepayment of Loans

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.15), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.9.

(b) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.9; provided that optional prepayments shall be applied (i) first, to accrued interest on the amount of Revolving Credit Loans prepaid, and (ii) second, to the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans.

-59-

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Agent Electronically of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the Agent in its reasonable discretion) or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that any notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition, sale or other transaction and any such notice may be extended or rescinded. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Lender holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Credit Exposures of the Lenders holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing at the time of such repayment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after any Extension, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay any Borrowing of non-extended Revolving Credit Loans (and terminate the related Revolving Credit Commitment) pursuant to which the related Extension Offer was made without any obligation to prepay the corresponding Revolving Credit Loans subject to such Extension Offer or may voluntarily prepay any Borrowing of any such Revolving Credit Loans (and terminate the related Extended Revolving Credit Commitment) pursuant to which the related Extension Offer was made without any obligation to voluntarily prepay the corresponding non-extended Revolving Credit Loan.

Section 2.10 Fees

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with its Applicable Lender Percentage, a commitment fee for the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have expired or terminated) equal to the Commitment Fee Rate divided by three hundred and sixty (360) days and multiplied by the number of days in the Fiscal Quarter and then multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Average Facility Balance with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility for such Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof that the Revolving Credit Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that if the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of a Fiscal Quarter, then any such fee payable for the Fiscal Quarter in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination and shall be based upon the number of days that have elapsed during such period. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2022. All Commitment Fees shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

-60-

(c) L/C Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a Letter of Credit fee with respect to its participations in each outstanding Letter of Credit (the “L/C Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any L/C Obligations; provided that any L/C Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Lender Percentage allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.23(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account. Accrued L/C Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that any such fees accruing after such Maturity Date shall be payable on demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while any Event of Default exists, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the applicable Default Rate.

(d) L/C Fronting Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the percentage separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility and the date on which such L/C Issuer ceases to have any L/C Obligations. Fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable on the fifth (5th) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility; provided that any such fees accruing after such Maturity Date shall be payable on demand. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, which fees, costs and charges shall be payable to such L/C Issuer within three (3) Business Days after its demand therefor and are nonrefundable.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).

Section 2.11 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) If for any reason, at any time the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Agent prepay Revolving Credit Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount that Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap.

(b) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce Revolving Credit Exposure; provided that to the extent that any Revolving Credit Exposure is reduced by prepaying Revolving Credit Loans, such amounts shall be applied (A) first, to reduce outstanding Revolving Credit Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans and (B) any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans consisting of Term Benchmark Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15. No permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments will be required in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12 Interest

(a) Subject to Section 9.17, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on written demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing that is not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, in the case of Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Prime Rate).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), and to the extent in compliance with Section 2.22, as applicable, Loans extended in connection with an Extension Offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment to the extent a different interest rate is specified therein.

Section 2.13 [Reserved]

Section 2.14 Increased Costs

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject the Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

-62-

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable, by such Lender or Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly (but in any event within ten days) after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

-63-

Section 2.15 Compensation for Losses

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable withholding agent shall be required (as determined by such applicable withholding agent in its good faith discretion) by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes in respect of any such payments, then (i) in the case of deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased by the Borrower as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16(a)) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to the Agent for its own account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make or cause to be made such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the calculation of the amount of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent) or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(e)

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

-64-

addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), two of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US federal withholding Tax pursuant to such Tax treaty;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 not a participating Lender, and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s);

-65-

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

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with any requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by any applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) The Agent and any successor thereto shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower) (i) if the Agent (or such successor to the Agent) is a US Person, one executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from US federal backup withholding, or (ii) if the Agent (or such successor to the Agent) is not a US Person, (A) one executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to the Agent for its own account, and (B) one executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to the Agent for the account of any Lender, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and may be treated as a US Person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(v) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(e).

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(e), neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) [Reserved].

-66-

(g) If the Agent or any Lender 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 by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower within a reasonable period (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, shall promptly repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), in no event will the Agent or such Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) the payment of which would place the Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Agent or such Lender 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 Section 2.16(g) shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment or if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its offices as specified from time to time to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient recorded in the Register promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in U.S. Dollars and, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowing, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal or unreimbursed L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and/or unreimbursed L/C Borrowings, as applicable, then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or its participations in Letters of Credit resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or Letters of Credit and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and/or subparticipations in the participations in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.18(b) or (c) and 2.22 or pursuant to the terms of any Permitted Amendment) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted under this Agreement. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purposes of clause (b)(i) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes,” a participation acquired pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall be treated as having been acquired on the earlier date(s) on which the applicable Lender acquired the applicable interest in the Revolving Credit Commitment(s) or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5(b), 2.17(d) or 8.7, then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer to satisfy such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i)

-68-

would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise cause economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender (or any Participant in the Loans held by such Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount (in each case other than in respect of Other Taxes) to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.18(a), any Lender ceases to make any Term Benchmark Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 2.14 or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, either (i) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than surviving rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and the related Loan Documents to an assignee (other than a Disqualified Lender) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, to the extent consent for an Assignment and Assumption would be required by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.4, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Lender as of such termination date. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation, or to have its Revolving Credit Commitments terminated and its obligations hereunder repaid, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation, or to terminate such Revolving Credit Commitments and repay such obligations, cease to apply.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to either (i) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign all or the affected portion of its Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided, that (A) all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not due and payable) of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (B) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (C) in connection with any such assignment the Borrower, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.4 (including obtaining the consent of the Agent if so required thereunder); provided, that, if the required Assignment and Assumption is not executed and delivered by such Non-Consenting Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender will be unconditionally and

-69-

irrevocably deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of the date such Non-Consenting Lender receives payment in full of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not due and payable) of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender, (D) the replacement Lender shall pay any processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(C), if applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Section and (E) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination or (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender as of such termination date; provided, that such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable waiver or amendment of the applicable Loan Document or Loan Documents.

(d) Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.18 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed cancelled upon such failure. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.18.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.18 to the contrary, any Revolving Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit.

Section 2.19 Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

-70-

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.19(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.19, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.19.

(d) 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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including any Term Benchmark) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) 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 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 (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is 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 Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that any tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

-71-

Section 2.20 Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality

(a) Subject to Section 2.19, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Loans or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Loans or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR or any Term Benchmark. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

Section 2.21 Cash Management

(a)

(i) Within 10 days after the Closing Date (subject to any extension as may be agreed by the Agent), the Borrower shall establish Designated Deposit Accounts in the Borrower’s name with one or more financial institutions selected by the Borrower, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and located in the United States (the “Collection Banks”).

-72-

(ii) Within 90 days after the Closing Date (subject to any extension as may be agreed by the Agent), the Borrower, the Agent and the Collection Banks will enter into Cash Management Control Agreements with respect to all Designated Deposit Accounts then in existence, and thereafter will maintain, separate Cash Management Control Agreements with respect to all Designated Deposit Accounts and any other deposit account from time to time owned by the Borrower; provided, that if such Cash Management Control Agreements are not obtained within 90 days after the Closing Date (subject to any extension as may be agreed by the Agent), the Borrower shall be required to move such Designated Deposit Accounts to the Agent or such other Collection Bank that has executed such Cash Management Control Agreements.

(iii) The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Originators to, instruct all Account Debtors of the Borrower to remit all payments to a Designated Deposit Account. All amounts received by the Borrower and any Collection Bank, in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall promptly upon receipt be deposited or swept into a Designated Deposit Account. The Borrower may close deposit accounts at any Collection Bank and/or open new deposit accounts at any Collection Bank, subject (in the case of opening any new deposit account) to the contemporaneous (or such longer period as the Agent may reasonably agree) execution and delivery to the Agent of a Cash Management Control Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.21 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(b) So long as no Dominion Period then exists in respect of which the Agent has delivered notice thereof as contemplated by the definition thereof, the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw Cash and Cash Equivalents from Controlled Accounts to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. If a Dominion Period exists and Agent has delivered notice thereof as contemplated by the definition thereof, all collected amounts held in the Controlled Accounts shall be applied as provided in Section 2.21(c).

(c) Each Cash Management Control Agreement relating to a Controlled Account shall include provisions that allow, during any Dominion Period, for all collected amounts held in such Controlled Account from and after the date requested by the Agent to be sent by ACH or wire transfer or similar electronic transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day to one or more accounts maintained with the Agent (each, an “Agent Deposit Account”). Subject to the terms of the respective Security Document, during any Dominion Period, all amounts received in an Agent Deposit Account shall be applied (and allocated) by the Agent on a daily basis in the following order: (i) first, (A) to the payment of any fees, indemnities, costs, expenses and other amounts due and payable to the Agent, in its capacity as such, under any of the Loan Documents and (B) to repay or prepay outstanding Loans advanced by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.1(c); (ii) second, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clause (i) have been paid in full, (A) to pay (on a ratable basis) all accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Loans and (B) to pay any fees, indemnities, costs, expenses and other amounts (other than principal) due and payable to the Lenders in their respective capacities as such, under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Loans; (iii) third, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) and (ii), inclusive, have been paid in full, to repay (on a ratable basis) the outstanding principal of Loans (whether or not then due and payable); (iv) fourth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding Obligations then due and payable to the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents; and (v) fifth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (iv) inclusive, have been paid in full and so long as no Event of Default then exists, to be returned to the Borrower for the Borrower’s own account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that (I) all Controlled Accounts may be subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.3(f) (it being understood that the Agent may establish a Reserve with respect to any such Lien if such Lien constitutes a First Priority Priming Lien) and (II) (x) if any fees are expressly permitted to be charged by the applicable bank or credit card or other merchant processor to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any applicable agreement in connection therewith or (y) if any sales draft or sales transaction (or similar item) previously credited to a Controlled Account are returned to the applicable bank or processor, as applicable, such bank or processor may, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable agreement or law, withdraw funds from such Controlled Account in the full amount of such fees or such returned item.

-73-

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.3, all costs and expenses to effect the foregoing (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) shall be paid by the Borrower.

(e) Agent agrees that immediately upon the termination of the Dominion Period it shall stop transferring amounts from the Controlled Accounts to accounts maintained with the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.21, and the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw Cash and Cash Equivalents from Controlled Accounts to be used for Permitted Payments.

(f) If at any time payment is received into any Designated Deposit Account or Controlled Account pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale Agreement, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all such funds to the payment of any outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 2.21(c) regardless of whether or not any Dominion Period then exists.

Section 2.22 Extensions of Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Revolving Credit Facility with Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Revolving Credit Commitments, as so extended, as well as the original Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility from which they were extended), so long as the following terms are satisfied with respect to each applicable Revolving Credit Facility: (i) except as to pricing (including interest rates, fees and funding discounts), conditions precedent and maturity (which shall be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) (provided, that (1) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Facility and (2) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than four different maturity dates), (ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer and (iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

-74-

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Facility to be tendered. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below), and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.2(c), 2.9 and 2.17) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22 shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.22.

(c) No consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Borrower and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the applicable Facility subject to such Extension Amendment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Facility so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22 (including in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, or to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.22.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower may offer any Lender of a Revolving Credit Facility that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments into such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension Facility pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and executed by such Lender, the Agent and the Borrower and (iv) any such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million, unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents.

-75-

Section 2.23 Defaulting Lenders

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

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.2.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section VII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuer(s); third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.25; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.25; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the applicable L/C Issuers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and the L/C Borrowings 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 Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees; Default Interest. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.10 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender), (y) shall be limited in its right to receive L/C Fees as provided in Section 2.10(c) and (z) shall not be entitled to receive any interest at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.12(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such interest that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

-76-

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Lender Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 9.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such 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.

(b) If the Borrower, the Agent and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the 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 that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees, or interest at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.12(b), accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.24 Increases in Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) Notice. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, the Borrower may (on behalf of itself), by notice to the Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments with the then Latest Maturity Date (the “Incremental Revolving Facilities”; each such increase, an “Incremental Facility” and the loans or other extensions of credit made thereunder, the “Incremental Loans”).

(b) Ranking. Incremental Facilities will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Commitments and will be secured by the Collateral by Liens on a pari passu basis to the Liens that secure the Revolving Credit Commitments.

-77-

(c) Size and Currency. The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities on any date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming such commitments are fully drawn only on the date of receipt thereof, will not exceed, an amount equal to, the Incremental Amount. Each Incremental Facility will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the Incremental Amount at such time. Any Incremental Facility shall be denominated in Dollars.

(d) Incremental Lenders. Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make, or provide commitments with respect to, an Incremental Loan) or by any Additional Lender. While existing Lenders may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) participate in any syndication of an Incremental Facility and may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) become lenders with respect thereto, the existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in any syndication of, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan except to the extent the Borrower and the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, choose to invite or include any such existing Lender (which may or may not apply to all existing Lenders and may or may not be pro rata among existing Lenders). Final allocations in respect of Incremental Facilities will be made by the Borrower together with the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, on the terms permitted by this Section 2.24; provided that the lenders providing the Incremental Facilities will be reasonably acceptable to (i) the Borrower and (ii) the Agent (except that, in the case of clause (ii), only to the extent such Person otherwise would have a consent right to an assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds. Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each Person providing such Incremental Facility and the Agent. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment. Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower in consultation with the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby. This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.2 to the contrary. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Conditions. The effectiveness of Incremental Facilities under this Agreement will be subject to the following conditions and any other conditions required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, and measured on the date of the receipt of commitments under (assuming such commitments are fully drawn only on the date of receipt) such Incremental Facility:

(i) no Event of Default (with respect to the Borrower and the Originators) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

(ii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the receipt of commitments in respect of such Incremental Facility.

-78-

(g) Terms. Each Incremental Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. Each Incremental Facility will be documented as an increase to the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and shall be on terms identical to those applicable to such Revolving Credit Facility except with respect to any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility.

(h) Adjustments to Revolving Credit Loans. On the effective date of each Incremental Facility, (i) if there are Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Credit Loans (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection therewith), and borrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lender(s) providing such Incremental Revolving Facility, as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and borrowings, all Revolving Credit Loans will be held ratably by the Revolving Lenders (including the Lender(s) providing such Incremental Revolving Facility) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility and (ii) if there are Letters of Credit then outstanding, the participations of the Revolving Lenders in such Letters of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect the Applicable Lender Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders (including the Lender(s) providing such Incremental Revolving Facility) after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility.

Section 2.25 Cash Collateral

(a) Obligation to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or upon request of the Agent or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.1, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the written request of the Agent or any applicable L/C Issuer (in each case, with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Agent. The Borrower and, to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subject to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the applicable L/C Issuers and the applicable Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.25. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.25 or Section 2.23 or Section 7.1 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligations) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

-79-

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.4(b)(vi))), or (ii) the determination by the Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (A) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) or an Event of Default and (B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer(s) may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations hereunder.

Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Originators shall take all steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Servicer, the Originators and any other Person, and is not a division of the Servicer, the Originators, their respective Affiliates or any other Person.

-92-

directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities or general partnership or managing member interests, by contract or otherwise. “Controlling” and “controlled” shall have correlative meanings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Person shall be deemed to Control any other Person in which it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the ownership interests. (ii) The operating agreement of the Borrower shall provide that: (A) the Borrower’s board of managers or other governing body shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Borrower unless the Independent Manager shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring an Independent Manager cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Manager.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to enter into each Security Document on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.

Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions

None of the Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any other Credit Party for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any other Credit Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (iii) responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any other Credit Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Agent

The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or Electronically submitted Communication, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

-102-

Section 8.5 Notice of Default

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender, an L/C Issuer or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 8.7 Indemnification

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that (a) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are

-103-

found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and (b) to the extent any L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.7 solely in its capacity and role as an L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer in accordance with this Section 8.7 (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage thereof at such time). The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity

The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent hereunder, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.9 Successor Agent

(a) The Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign as Agent, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5.0 billion and otherwise may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion, which approval shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, subject to written approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section VIII and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

(b) If the Agent or a controlling Affiliate meets any part of the definition of Lender Default (in its capacity as Lender or otherwise), it may be removed by the Borrower or the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the Required Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as Agent by the date that is 10 days following the Agent’s removal, the Agent’s removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Borrower, subject to written approval by the Required Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoints a successor agent as provided for above. After any Agent’s replacement as Agent, the provisions of this Section VIII and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

-104-

Section 8.10 Erroneous Payment

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Agent notifies such Lender or L/C Issuer that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender or L/C Issuer (any of the foregoing, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.10 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limitation of clause (a) above, each Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Payment Recipient under this Section 8.10 shall be made in same-day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

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

(e) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

-105-

Section 8.11 Withholding Tax

To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) from and against all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from any other sources, against any amount due the Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 8.12 Certain 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 Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(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 Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the

-106-

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) hereunder by posting such materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”).

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them for all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereby consents to such recording.

Section 9.2 Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the

-109-

Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereunder or thereunder may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) solely with the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders, other than in the case of clause (1) below, which shall require the consent of each Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Commitments if such increase is effectuated other than pursuant to the provisions under this Agreement specifically permitting increases of commitments without the further approval of Required Lenders), any such agreement may:

(1) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, it being understood that (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2, or (z) the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall not constitute an increase of any Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender;

(2) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any L/C Borrowing or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-Default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), (y) as provided in Section 2.13 and (z) that any change in Historical Excess Availability, Historical Average Utilization or any other definition used in the calculation of such rate of interest or fees (or any component definition thereof) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or any fee for purposes of this clause (2));

(3) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, any L/C Borrowing or any interest thereon, or any fees or premiums payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Credit Commitment; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall not constitute a postponement of the scheduled date of payment of principal of any Loan or expiration of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender;

(4) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) or Section 2.21(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the application of proceeds provision in Section 6.4 of the Security Agreement); or

(5) (x) contractually subordinate the Obligations hereunder to any other Indebtedness or other obligations or (y) contractually subordinate the Liens securing the Obligations to Liens securing any other Indebtedness or other obligations;

-110-

(ii) solely with the written consent of the Supermajority Required Lenders, any such agreement may increase advance rates or make other modifications to the applicable Borrowing Base (or any constituent definitions to the extent used therein) that have the effect of increasing availability thereunder (including changes in eligibility criteria), it being understood that increases or decreases in Reserves implemented by the Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall require only the consent of the Agent;

(iii) solely with the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), any such agreement may:

(1) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or grant any consent hereunder;

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9.14 or in the Security Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral; or

(3) except as otherwise expressly permitted, the assignment of the Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement;

(4) change Section 2.4(a)(iv) in a manner that would permit the expiration date of any Letter of Credit to occur after the L/C Expiration Date;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of (x) the Agent in a manner adverse to the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent or (y) the L/C Issuers in a manner adverse to the L/C Issuers without the prior written consent of each L/C Issuer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, the Agent and the Borrower, in their sole discretion and without the consent or approval of any other party, may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to (i) amend, modify or supplement such provision or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency, and such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (provided, that, if the Required Lenders make such objection in writing, such amendment, modification or supplement shall not become effective without the consent of the Required Lenders) and (ii) to permit additional affiliates of the Borrower to guarantee the Obligations and/or provide Collateral therefor. Such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter shall be required to amend, modify or supplement the terms thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower may enter into Extension Amendments in accordance with Section 2.22 and joinder agreements with respect thereto in accordance with such sections, and such Extension Amendments and joinder agreements may effect such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the existence and the terms of the Extension, as applicable, and will be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents (including to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding

-111-

thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents with the other Revolving Credit Loans, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders), in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2 or any other Loan Document, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. In addition, if the Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent by any other party; provided that the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such amendment within five Business Days after receiving a copy thereof.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) 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 (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

provided, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, directly and adversely affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter shall be required to amend, modify or supplement the terms thereof; and (iii) (x) no Lender consent is required to effect an Extension Amendment (except as expressly provided in Section 2.22 or in the following clause), and in connection with an Extension Amendment, only the consent of the Lenders that will continue as a Lender in respect of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to such Extension Amendment shall be required for such Extension Amendment. 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 (1) the commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) If the Closing Date occurs, the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel for the Agent in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof, the reasonable fees and expenses of consultants and appraisal firms in connection with field examinations required hereunder and the Agent’s standard charges for examination activities and appraisal reviews, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, including the fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel for the Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 9.3(a), including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided, that the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.3(a) for fees and expenses of legal counsel shall be limited to fees and expenses of (x) one primary outside legal counsel in each of the United States for all Persons described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, taken as a whole, (y) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one outside legal counsel for each group of affected Persons similarly situated, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction and (z) if necessary, one local or foreign legal counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions).

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of (i) one primary outside legal counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional outside legal counsel in each of the United States for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction and (iii) if necessary, one local or foreign legal counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (w) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (x) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer 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), (y) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower (including any predecessor entities), or any Environmental Liability relating to the Borrower (including any predecessor entities) or (z) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates, their respective creditors or any other Person; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (1) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (2) arise out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (provided, that in the event of such a claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding involving a claim or proceeding brought against the Agent (in its capacity as such) by other Indemnitees, the Agent, as the case may be (in its capacity as such), shall be entitled (subject to the other limitations and exceptions set forth above) to the benefit of the indemnities set forth above), (3) arise from any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties in connection with the foregoing without the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (4) are in respect of indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 8.7, to the extent the Borrower would not have been or was not required to make such indemnification payments directly pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3(b).

No Indemnitee referred to in Section 9.3(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.

Section 9.4 Successors and Assigns

(a) 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 (i) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.4, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.4. 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 paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 9.4, any Lender may 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 Credit Commitment and the Loans (including, for purposes of this paragraph (b)(i), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

-114-

(A) the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee; provided, further, that (x) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Agent not later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date a written request for such consent is made and (y) the withholding of consent by the Borrower to any assignment to any Disqualified Lender shall be deemed reasonable (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligations to determine or notify the Borrower with respect to whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Lender, and the Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender);

(B) the Agent; and

provided, with respect to foregoing clause (B), no consent of the Agent shall be required with respect to an assignment to any Person that satisfies clause (i) of the definition of Eligible Assignee; provided, further, any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender shall not be null and void but shall instead be subject to Section 9.4(e).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans or assignments to a Lender or an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million unless (x) such assignee shall be an existing Lender or (y) each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent; provided, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (unless waived by the Agent in its sole discretion) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (treating, for purposes of such fee, multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a single assignment); and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Company and their Subsidiaries and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including federal and state securities laws.

-115-

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) (iv) of this Section 9.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the obligations, of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 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 paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4.

(iv) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain 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 Credit Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and other amounts due under Section 2.4 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 Borrower, the 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Lender (with respect to its own Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans and L/C Obligations only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment will be effective unless and until the Assignment and Assumption is registered in such Register. This Section 9.4 is intended so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related US Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such US Treasury Regulations).

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided, that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5(b), 2.17(d) or 8.7, the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) 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 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 Borrower and the Agent, the applicable ratable 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 Agent, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full ratable share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Lender Percentage; provided that, 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.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than an Excluded Participant (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans (including such Lender’s participations, if any, in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agent, the L/C Issuers 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 any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.2(b)(iii) that adversely affects the Participant; provided, however, in no event shall an Excluded Participant be a Participant. The Borrower agrees that, subject to paragraph (c) (ii) and (c) (iii) of this Section 9.4, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 and subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections including the requirements under Section 2.16(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(e) shall be delivered by the Participant solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.4(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(c) 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 Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the US 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, including payments of interest and principal, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The portion of the Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made available to the Borrower upon reasonable request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-117-

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, with respect to any participation sold to such Participant, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to such participation, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation.

(iii) A Participant shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4.

(iv) Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15(b) with respect to any Participant.

(v) No participation may be sold to the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(d) 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, and this Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i) no assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). Any assignment in violation of this Section 9.4(e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 9.4(e) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign (and the signature of such Disqualified Lender shall not be required on any such assignment), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.4), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interest, rights and obligations, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrower’s consent in accordance with Section 9.4).

-118-

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to request any information, reports or other materials or receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings or inspections attended by the Lenders and the Agent or request such meetings or inspections, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisers of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.2); provided that (I) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (II) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender, and (y) for purposes of voting on any bankruptcy plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such bankruptcy plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such bankruptcy plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such bankruptcy plan in accordance with Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(f) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Revolving Lender that is also acting as an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4, such Revolving Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Revolving Lender as an L/C Issuer. If any such Revolving Lender resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in unreimbursed L/C Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.4(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Revolving Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such Revolving Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.5 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid is

-119-

outstanding or any Letter of Credit remains outstanding and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3 and Section VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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.

Section 9.7 Severability

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

Section 9.8 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each L/C Issuer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with customary set-offs in connection with Cash Management Obligations), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or such L/C Issuer to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or such L/C Issuer may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Borrower promptly after any such setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of set off in respect of any Controlled Account other than the Agent acting in their capacity as such.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.14 Release of Liens; Secured Parties

(a) In the event that the Borrower conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise Disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or assets of the Borrower to a Person that is not (and is not required hereunder to become) the Borrower in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, the Liens created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Capital Stock or assets shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Capital Stock or assets. In the event that any Capital Stock or other asset Collateral has become, or is becoming, an Excluded Asset, then, at the request of the Borrower, the Agent agree to promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to) take such action and execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower, and at the Borrower’s expense, to terminate, discharge and release (or to further document and evidence the termination, discharge and release of) the Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such assets.

(b) Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, all Liens created by the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by the Loan Documents (including by way of assignment) shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination.

(c) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.8 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral may be exercised solely by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the

-123-

purchase price for any collateral payable by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. In furtherance of the foregoing, no agreements the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such agreement in respect of Cash Management Services shall be deemed to have appointed the Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

Section 9.15 Payments Set Aside

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 9.16 No Fiduciary Duty

The Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) the Lender Parties are acting solely as principals and not as the agents or fiduciaries of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that the Lender Parties have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

-124-

Section 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation

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

Section 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any 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

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

-125-

(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.
