NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower hereunder, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

“Available Tenor”: as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (e) of Section 4.7.

“Base Rate”: for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1.00%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for an Interest Period of one (1)-month as published two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day) plus 1.00%; provided that, for purposes of this definition, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any day shall be based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate at approximately 5:00 a.m. Chicago time on such day (or any amended publication time for the Term SOFR Reference Rate, as specified by the Term SOFR Administrator in the Term SOFR Reference Rate methodology). Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, respectively. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 4.7 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 4.7) hereof, then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) solely with respect to the Revolving Loans, if the Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement and (y) solely with respect to the Term Loans, if the Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.50%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.50% for purposes of this Agreement.

“Base Rate Loans”: Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Base Rate.

“Benchmark”: initially, the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) of Section 4.7.

“Benchmark Replacement”: for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; and

(2) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant

Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) 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 on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) 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 Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in the United States.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”: with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term Benchmark Loan, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion, in consultation with the Borrower, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides, in consultation with the Borrower, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date”: with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) 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 the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

(i) If the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) 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”: with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) 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);

(2) 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 NYFRB, the Term SOFR Administrator, 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), in each case, 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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if, following the LCT Test Date, any of such ratios or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or other components of such ratio) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transactions, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, unless, other than if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9(a), or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 9(f), shall be continuing on such date, the Borrower elects, in its sole discretion, to test such ratios and compliance with such conditions on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, basket availability or compliance with any other provision hereunder (other than actual compliance with Section 8.1) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earliest of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated, the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or the date the Borrower makes an election pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such ratio, basket or compliance with any other provision hereunder shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith had been consummated on the LCT Test Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Section 1.3(a) shall not apply to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 with respect to any extension of credit under the Revolving Facility (other than with respect to the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Commitments).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income and any financial ratios or tests, including the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.3(c) or (d), as applicable; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 1.3(c) or Section 1.3(d), as applicable, when calculating the Consolidated Senior

Secured Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a pro forma basis or determining compliance giving pro forma effect to a transaction) with Section 8.1, the events described in this Section 1.3(c) or Section 1.3(d) that occurred subsequent to the end of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the most recent Test Date shall not be given pro forma effect:

(i)if since the beginning of such period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or any financial ratio or test is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, then Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or such ratio or test for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the date of such calculation shall be computed based on (A) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (B) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation);

(ii)if since the beginning of such period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged any Indebtedness that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination (each, a “Discharge”) or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or any financial ratio or test involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid), then Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or such financial ratio or test for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such Discharge had occurred on the first day of such period;

(iii)if since the beginning of such period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business (any such disposition, a “Sale”), the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to (A) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to the Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Sale for such period (including but not limited to through the assumption of such Indebtedness by

another Person) plus (B) if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such Sale, and any financial ratio or test shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect to such Sale as if such Sale had occurred on the first day of such period;

(iv)if since the beginning of such period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Person that thereby becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise acquired any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business in a Permitted Acquisition, including any such Investment or acquisition occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder (any such Investment or acquisition, a “Purchase”), Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or any financial ratio or test for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any related Indebtedness) as if such Purchase occurred on the first day of such period;

(v)if since the beginning of such period any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 1.3(c) if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or any financial ratio or test for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period; and

(vi)whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including without limitation in respect of anticipated cost savings, synergies or annualized impact of buyer fee increases relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction) shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedge Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness

that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

(d)For the purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or any financial ratio or test for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a “Reference Period”), (i) if at any time during such Reference Period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Material Disposition or designated any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Consolidated EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the property that is the subject of such Material Disposition or designation for such Reference Period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such Reference Period and (ii) if during such Reference Period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made a Material Acquisition or designated any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, Consolidated EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto, as if such Material Acquisition or designation occurred on the first day of such Reference Period. As used in this definition, “Material Acquisition” means any acquisition of property or series of related acquisitions of property that (a) constitutes assets comprising all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business or constitutes all or substantially all of the common stock of a Person and (b) involves the payment of consideration by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in excess of $5,000,000; and “Material Disposition” means any Disposition of property or series of related Dispositions of property that yields gross proceeds to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in excess of $5,000,000.

(e)For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investment or payment with respect to Junior Debt restricted by Section 8.8, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, from time to time, may classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) within such applicable Sections and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one category of each applicable Section. For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including Section 8.1 hereof, any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated EBITDA or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), such financial ratio or test shall, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be. It is understood

and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investment or payment with respect to Junior Debt restricted by Section 8.8, need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investment or payment with respect to Junior Debt, under Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof (it being understood that compliance with each such Section is separately required).

1.4.Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) any reference to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company or limited partnership, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company or limited partnership (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person and (b) any division of a limited liability company or limited partnership shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company or limited partnership that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

1.5.Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 4.7(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.6.Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Loans,

Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving Loans, Extended Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

Such amounts will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting an account of the Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent, in like amounts and funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

3.3.Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swingline loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower notwithstanding that after making a requested Swingline Loan, the sum of (i) the Swingline Lender’s aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans, (ii) the Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations and (iii) all outstanding Swingline Loans may exceed the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not request any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the

aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loans under this Section 3.3 at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to the foregoing, Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time.

(c)The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans (i) on each Borrowing Date for Revolving Loans, (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date and (iii) on demand by the Swingline Lender at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.4.Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans; Successor Swingline Lenders. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period) and such notice shall constitute certification by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender that the unused portion of the Revolving Facility is greater than or equal to the Swingline Loans and the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such certification. Each borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b)The Swingline Lender may at any time, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to do so), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and apply the proceeds of such borrowing to the repayment of the Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Revolving Percentage of any such borrowing so requested in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after the date of such borrowing is requested. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall immediately be made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application to the repayment of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay, and irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent as necessary to pay, all outstanding Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders upon any such request are not sufficient to repay the outstanding Swingline Loans.

(c)If the Swingline Lender at any time determines that it is precluded from making a request for a borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.4(b), whether by reason of the occurrence of a Default described in Section 9(f) or otherwise for any reason, each

Revolving Lender hereby purchases from the Swingline Lender an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans (a “Swingline Participation Amount”) and shall promptly upon demand of the Swingline Lender complete such purchase at par by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Xxxxxx’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans.

(d)Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Xxxxxx’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Xxxxxx’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, that if any such payment is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f)The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 4.5(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(g)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Xxxxxx may resign as a Swingline Xxxxxx at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 3.4(f) above.

3.5.Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

3.6.Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments, which notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of any other transaction and, if such condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date specified in such notice, may be revoked by the Borrower; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000, or a whole multiple thereof or the Total Revolving Commitment, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Termination Date.

3.7.Letter of Credit Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender (other than any Issuing Lender referred to in clause (b) of the definition of “Issuing Lender”), in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.10(a), agrees to issue, on a sight basis, letters of credit for the account of the Borrower (or for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower if the Borrower requests a Letter of Credit for such Subsidiary’s account; provided, that notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit may be issued or outstanding hereunder in support of any obligations of, or for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse each Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit) on any Business Day at any time and from time to time until the date that is ten (10) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that the applicable Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the Total L/C Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, (iii) the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Commitments of such Issuing Lender (provided, that such Issuing Lender may at its sole discretion issue a Letter of Credit although after giving effect to such issuance the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its outstanding Revolving Commitments, so long as after giving effect to such issuance (x) the L/C Obligations would not exceed the Total L/C Commitments and (y) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments) or (iv)

the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment (provided, that such Issuing Lender, may at its sole discretion issue a Letter of Credit although after giving effect to such issuance the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its L/C Commitment, so long as after giving effect to such issuance (x) the L/C Obligations would not exceed the Total L/C Commitments and (y) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments); provided, further, that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue commercial or trade Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and expire no later than the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (ii) the date that is five (5) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one (1)-year term may provide, with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender, for the automatic extension thereof for additional periods of up to one (1) year (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above). If, as of the Revolving Termination Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall promptly Cash Collateralize the then undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, that all such Cash Collateral or Backstop L/Cs shall be denominated in Dollars. If, at any time, the expiration date of any Letter of Credit shall be a date that is later than the Revolving Termination Date, then, at the request of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall promptly Cash Collateralize the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. “Cash Collateralize” shall mean to (i) pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances of deposit accounts under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 103% of the total amount then available under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders) (“Cash Collateral”) or (ii) deliver to the applicable Issuing Lender one or more backstop letters of credit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to, and issued by financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender that has issued such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (each such letter of credit, a “Backstop L/C”). Derivatives of such above defined terms shall have corresponding meanings.

(b)No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or such Issuing Lender’s internal policies relating to the issuance of Letters of Credit.

(c)The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender being so designated, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this Section 3.7(c) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Xxxxxx, and, with respect to

such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender.

(d)The parties hereto hereby agree that each Existing Letter of Credit shall, for all purposes of the Loan Documents, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each such Existing Letter of Credit shall expire in accordance with its own terms (subject to any renewal or extension in accordance with its terms).

(e)Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and the successor Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.9. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender 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 amend or extend any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by it.

(f)Any Issuing Xxxxxx may resign as an Issuing Xxxxxx at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in which case, such Issuing Lender may be replaced in accordance with Section 3.7(e) above.

3.8.Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender (other than any Issuing Lender referred to in clause (b) of the definition of “Issuing Lender”) issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that after giving effect to the requested issuance, none of the statements specified in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of Section 3.7(a) would be true, such Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with its customary policies and procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and the Borrower. Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of

Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(b)The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.7(a) or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Loan Parties. Unless each Issuing Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.1 are not satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.7, then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with its customary policies and procedures.

3.9.Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility less the fronting fee set forth in the succeeding sentence, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender computed at the rate of 0.125% per annum and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date.

(b)In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.10.Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each drawing paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such drawing, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed and the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to such Issuing Lender.

(b)If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three (3)

Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of any Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.10 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that if any such payment received by Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed to such L/C Participant.

3.11.Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender within one (1) Business Day after such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a drawing presented under any Letter of Credit paid by such Issuing Lender or on the next Business Day, if such notice is received any time after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Business Day for the amount of such drawing so paid. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant drawing is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c).

3.12.Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or purportedly transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower

against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee or purported transferee, (ii) payment by each Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.12, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or any Related Person of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.13.Letter of Credit Payments. If a compliant drawing shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who in turn shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any drawing presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to causing the applicable Issuing Lender that has issued such Letter of Credit to determine that the documents (including each drawing, if any) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND
LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1.Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), three (3) Business Days prior thereto in the case of Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Loans and (ii) no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), on the date of such prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans or RFR Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Term Benchmark Loans, Base Rate Loans or RFR Loans; provided, that if a Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing or events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that

are Base Rate Loans, RFR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b)Any optional prepayments of the Term Facilities shall be credited to the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Facilities thereof as specified by the Borrower or, if not specified, pro rata to the remaining installments of each of the Facilities on a pro rata basis.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a prepayment premium shall apply to any prepayment of Term Loans occurring on or prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case from the proceeds of a Repricing Transaction in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of any Term Loans subject to such prepayment or, in the case of any Repricing Transaction effected through an amendment, the principal amount of Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment of any Term Lender that is replaced in connection with such amendment pursuant to the Borrower’s exercise of its mandatory assignment rights to replace a Lender under Section 4.13.

4.2.Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If at any time after the Closing Date any Group Member receives any Net Cash Proceeds from the Incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than Excluded Indebtedness) or the issuance of any Disqualified Capital Stock, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis on the date of such receipt in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that if at the time of such prepayment such Group Member is required to prepay any Other Applicable Indebtedness (to the extent and if required by the terms of the definitive documentation governing such other Indebtedness), then the Borrower may apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Term Loans and prepay, redeem or repurchase such Other Applicable Indebtedness on a pro rata basis on the date of such receipt; provided, further, that (A) any prepayment, redemption or repurchase of such Other Applicable Indebtedness shall be at par (or less than par), (B) the portion of such prepayment amount allocated to such Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to be allocated to such Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, (C) the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would otherwise have been required pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) shall be reduced accordingly and (D) to the extent the holders of such Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, redeemed or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)If at any time after the Closing Date any Group Member receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event in an amount exceeding $20,000,000 in any fiscal year, then, the Borrower shall (i) if no Reinvestment Notice shall have been delivered in respect thereof, prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis on or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of such receipt in an amount equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds (with a step down to 50% based upon the achievement of a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 1.25:1.00) or (ii) if a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered in respect thereof, prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the Reinvestment

Prepayment Amount, if any, on a pro rata basis on the Reinvestment Prepayment Date; provided, that if at the time of such prepayment the Borrower or such Group Member is required to prepay any Other Applicable Indebtedness (to the extent and if required by the terms of the definitive documentation governing such other Indebtedness), then the Borrower may apply 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds (or the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, as applicable) to prepay the Term Loans and prepay, redeem or repurchase such Other Applicable Indebtedness on a pro rata basis on the date of such receipt; provided, further, that (A) any prepayment, redemption or repurchase of such Other Applicable Indebtedness shall be at par (or less than par), (B) the portion of such prepayment amount allocated to such Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to be allocated to such Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, (C) the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would otherwise have been required pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be reduced accordingly and (D) to the extent the holders of such Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, redeemed or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)If at any time after the Closing Date, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower (without notice or demand) shall immediately prepay outstanding Swingline Loans or Revolving Loans and pay any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations (or, if no Swingline Loans or Revolving Loans are outstanding, Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit) in an amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess.

(d)Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof and then to Term Benchmark Loans and shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be credited to the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Facilities thereof as specified by the Borrower or, if not specified, to the remaining scheduled quarterly installments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity.

(e)The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent written notice of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and (b), three (3) Business Days (or with respect to any mandatory prepayments upon the Incurrence of any Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Refinancing Debt or other Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.2(a), one (1) Business Day prior thereto in the case of any Base Rate Loans being prepaid) prior to the date of prepayment (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment; provided, that such notice may be conditioned on consummation of such mandatory prepayment event and receipt of Net Cash Proceeds thereof by the applicable Group Member. Other than with respect to mandatory prepayments upon the Incurrence of any Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Refinancing Debt or other Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the applicable Lenders may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment (each such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. Any

prepayment amount declined by the Declining Lenders (the “Declined Amount”) shall be retained by the Borrower.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.2 to the contrary, with respect to any prepayment required pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b), if at the time of such prepayment, the Group Member receiving the Net Cash Proceeds (i) is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from repatriating such Net Cash Proceeds to the Borrower, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 4.2(a) or (b) but may be retained by the applicable Group Member so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) to the extent provided therein or (ii) cannot repatriate such funds to the Borrower without (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) the repatriation of such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof) that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) resulting in material adverse tax consequences, the Net Cash Proceeds (or portion thereof) so affected may be retained by the applicable Group Member (the Borrower hereby agrees to cause the applicable Group Member to promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions within the reasonable control of the Borrower that are reasonably required to eliminate such tax effects) until such time as such material adverse costs would not apply to the repatriation thereof, at which time the mandatory prepayments otherwise required by Section 4.2(a) or (b) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds shall be made.

4.3.Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided, that any such conversion of Term Benchmark Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Term Benchmark Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefore); provided, that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. If the Borrower requests a conversion to Term Benchmark Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that no Term Benchmark Loan under a particular Facility may

be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described in this Section 4.3(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower requests a continuation of Term Benchmark Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

4.4.Limitations on Term Benchmark Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten (10) Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

4.5.Interest Rates and Payment Dates; Administrative Agent Fees; Other Fees. (a) (i) Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) each RFR Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b)Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)(i) If any portion of the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such portion of such principal shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) plus 2.00% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.00% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2.00% per annum), in each case, with respect to both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 4.5(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.

4.6.Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day on which it is made or outstanding, except the day on which it is repaid unless it is repaid on the same day that it was made.

(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.5(a).

(c)In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2, respectively, is inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Commitment Fee Rate applied for such Applicable Period respectively, then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the termination of this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (iii) the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders during the Applicable Period or their successors and assigns) the accrued additional interest or fees, as applicable, owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin and Commitment Fee Rate for such Applicable Period. This Section 4.6(c) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Section 4.5(b) and Section 9 hereof.

4.7.Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a)Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 4.7, if:

(i)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (A) any Term Benchmark Loan under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as an RFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above, or a Base Rate Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above, (B) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Term Benchmark Loans shall be continued as RFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above, or a Base Rate Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above, and (C) any outstanding Term Benchmark Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to an RFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above, or a Base Rate Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 4.7(a)(i) or (ii) above. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent no further Term Benchmark Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Term Benchmark Loans.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan

Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.7.

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

(f)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or 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 request for a Term Benchmark Loan into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 4.7, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day.

4.8.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be of the relevant Lenders.

(b)Each payment (including each prepayment but excluding any purchase of Loans pursuant to Section 11.6(g), the implementation of any Incremental Term Facility pursuant to Section 4.17, extension of Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.18 or any refinancing of Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.19) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c)Each payment (including each prepayment but excluding the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to Section 4.17, any extension of Revolving Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 4.18 or any refinancing of Revolving Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 4.19) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(d)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a

Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.8(e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Xxxxxx’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

4.9.Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender or the Administrative Agent with any request or directive whether or not having the force of law from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, becomes a party hereto:

(i)shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes)

on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, liquidity requirements, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or

(iii)shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, by an amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon its written demand (accompanied by a certificate of the type described in Section 4.9(c)), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.9(a), it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements whether or not having the force of law from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements and such Lender’s desired return on capital) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request (accompanied by a certificate of the type described in clause (c) below) therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. For purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be have been enacted, adopted or issued after the date each Lender has become a party hereto, regardless of the date such act, requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives enacted,

adopted or issued. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions, no Lender shall be entitled to any compensation from the Borrower under this Section 4.9 unless such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities as a matter of general practice and policy.

(c)A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.9 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9 for any amounts Incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Xxxxxx’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six (6)-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.10.Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section and the definitions referenced herein, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Any and all payments made under this Agreement or 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 law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is a Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.10) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d)Whenever any Taxes are payable by or on account of a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan

Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B) and (D) of Section 4.10(e)(ii)) 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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

(B)any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(c)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

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

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

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such

documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(f)If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(f), in no event will any Lender or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party under this Section 4.10(f) the payment of which would place such Lender or the Administrative Agent in a materially less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 4.10(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)The Borrower and each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.10) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Loan Party shall be obligated to make payment to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 4.10(g) in respect of penalties, interest or other similar liabilities

attributable to such Indemnified Taxes if such penalties, interest or other similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, seeking indemnification, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. An original official receipt, or certified copy thereof, as to the amount of such payment, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any such Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h)The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loans, Obligations and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.

4.11.Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the calculation of the amount of such compensation), for all actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Term Benchmark Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.11 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.12.Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9, 4.10(b) or 4.15 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the

rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(b) or 4.15. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.7, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

4.13.Replacement of Lenders. (a) The Borrower may replace (at its sole expense and effort), with a replacement financial lender reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, any Lender that (x) requests payment of any amounts payable under Section 4.9, 4.10(b) or 4.15, (y) is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or (z) declines to deliver any requested consent to a waiver, amendment or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents that has been consented to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, if otherwise required, the Majority Facility Lenders (any such Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or other modification, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), but only if (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender has taken no action under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the demand or condition giving rise to the Borrower’s replacement right, (iv) the replacement lender purchases, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to the replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and assumes all obligations of the replaced Lender under the Loan Documents in accordance with Section 11.6 (except that the Borrower shall pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (v) the Borrower compensates the replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any Term Benchmark Loan outstanding to the replaced Lender is purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) in the case of any such replacement resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.9 or Section 4.10, such replacement will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, and (vii) the Borrower shall pay the replaced Lender all amounts payable under Section 4.9 or Section 4.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and claims of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any replaced Xxxxxx that has defaulted in its obligation to make Loans hereunder shall be in all respects and unaffected by the replacement of such Lender.

(b) If the Borrower is unable to find a replacement for any Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may purchase the outstanding principal of its Loans of the relevant Class or Classes, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.6(g).

4.14.Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b)The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(b), and a sub-account therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each 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) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Xxxxxx’s share thereof.

(c)The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded, but the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-1, G-2 or G-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

4.15.Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Term Benchmark Loans, continue Term Benchmark Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Xxxxxx’s Loans then outstanding as Term Benchmark Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to RFR Loans (unless it shall be unlawful at such time for such Lender to make or maintain RFR Loans) or Base Rate Loans (at the Borrower’s election) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11.

4.16.Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.5;

(b)the Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders under any Facility have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders under Section 11.1;

(c)if any Swingline Exposure or any L/C Obligations exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments, (y) the sum of the Revolving Extensions of Credit, Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s remaining L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7(a) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 4.16(c)(ii) and Section 3.7(a), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or (b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv)if the L/C Obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 4.16(c)(i), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.9(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; or

(v)if any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 4.16(c)(i) or (ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.9(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lenders until such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and each Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.16(c) and Section 3.7(a), and

participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 4.16(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e)in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, subject to Section 11.23, 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 Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

4.17.Incremental Facilities. (a) So long as no Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date to (i) request new term loan commitments under one or more new term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement and/or increase the principal amount of any Class of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (ii) increase the Total Revolving Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, such commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) so long as the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all unutilized Incremental Commitments and Incremental Loans does not exceed the Incremental Amount; provided that, after giving pro forma effect to any Incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness on the date the applicable Incremental Commitment Agreement becomes effective (subject to Section 1.3) and all related transactions as if completed on the first day of the twelve (12)-month period ending on the most recent Test Date, the Borrower would have been in compliance with Section 8.1 on the Test Date (assuming compliance with Section 8.1 was required on the Test Date) (and the Borrower shall deliver a certificate, on or prior to the date on which such Incremental Commitment shall become effective to the Administrative Agent certifying that the Borrower is in compliance with this Section 4.17). Any Incremental Term Loan Commitment Incurred in the form of increases to any Class of existing Term Loans shall be identical to (other than (x) with respect to “original issue discount” or upfront fees and (y) any increase to the scheduled amortization payments applicable to any Class of Term Loans necessary to make such Incremental Term Loan fungible with any Class of existing Term Loans) and form part of such Term Loans. Any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be Incurred in the form of increases to the Revolving Commitments and shall be identical to (other than with respect to upfront fees) and form part of such Revolving Facility.

(b)Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.17 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. The

Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”) subject, (i) in respect of any Additional Lender not already a Lender hereunder or an affiliate of a Lender hereunder, to the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments (if such Additional Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or any affiliate of a Lender hereunder) to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any allocation of any Incremental Commitments to any Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the terms of Section 11.6(g).

(c)No Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loans shall be effective unless the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower and the proposed Additional Lenders and such other documentation relating thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 to the contrary, an Incremental Commitment Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.17; provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be unsecured or secured on a pari passu or (at the Borrower’s option) junior basis by the same Collateral securing the Loans, (B) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder (the “Incremental Term Loans”) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with or (at the Borrower’s option) junior to the Loans hereunder and (C) no Incremental Commitment Agreement may provide for any Incremental Commitment or any Incremental Term Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans; (ii) no Lender will be required to provide any such Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees; (iii) the interest rate margins, upfront fees, original issue discount, any interest rate floors, amortization (subject to clause (v) below) and any customary arrangement or commitment fees applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders; provided, that in the event that the All-In Yield for any Incremental Term Facility incurred by the Borrower on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date is higher than the All-In Yield for any existing Term Loans hereunder by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for such Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield for such Term Loans is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points (the adjustment set forth in this proviso, the “MFN Adjustment”); (iv) such Incremental Commitment Agreement may provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder and may provide class protection for any additional credit facilities in a manner consistent with those provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1 as in effect on the Closing Date; (v) the final maturity date of any Incremental Loans or Incremental Commitments shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans; (vi) the prepayment provisions shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders; provided that they shall not be more favorable (taken as a whole) than the prepayment provisions applicable to the Term Loans; (vii) if such Incremental Loans or Incremental

Commitment shall be secured on a junior basis, a Senior Representative validly acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have become party to an Intercreditor Agreement; and (viii) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the Incremental Commitment Agreement, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender whenever any Incremental Commitment becomes effective.

(e)No Incremental Commitment Agreement shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent has received (i) a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the effect that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (subject to Section 1.3), and (ii) such additional Security Documents, customary legal opinions, board resolutions, certificates and other documentation (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 6.1 on the Closing Date) as may be required by such Incremental Commitment Agreement or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(f)Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 4.17, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.17) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.17); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g)Subject to Section 1.3, each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall contain representations and warranties by the Borrower substantially in the form of those made by the Borrower in this Agreement, except for any exceptions, disclosures or modifications reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Additional Lender(s) making an Incremental Commitment pursuant to such Incremental Commitment Agreement; provided that, in the event that any Incremental Facility is used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent the Additional Lenders participating in such Incremental Facility

agree, such representations and warranties shall be limited to customary “specified representations”.

(h)In connection with any Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.17, at the direction and as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to ensure the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Loans, on or prior to a date reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be on or after the date of effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment Agreement), (A) the Borrower or Loan Party party to the Mortgages shall enter into, and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Modification and (B) Borrower shall deliver, or cause the title company or local counsel, as applicable, to deliver, to the Administrative Agent local counsel opinions, an endorsement to the relevant title policies, date down(s) or other documents, instruments or evidence of the priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Loans, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In addition, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver an updated flood hazard certificate for each of the Mortgaged Properties.

(i)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans in the form of an increase to any Class of existing Term Loans, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of such Class of existing Term Loans on a pro rata basis. Each of the parties hereto hereby further agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended as necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this Section 4.17. Any such amendment shall be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) but without the consent of any other Lenders, and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(j)This Section 4.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.8 or Section 11.1 to the contrary.

4.18.Extension Amendments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion, including one or more Tranches, of any commitments or the Loans (including any Extended Loans), each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Loans”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, “Extended Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 4.18. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms (other than provided in Section 4.18(c) below) shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest

margins for the Specified Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) the commitment fee, if any, with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the commitment fee, if any, for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.18 or otherwise, (1) such Extended Tranche shall not be, (x) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Loans under any of the Term Facilities hereunder, in an amount less than $50,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Loans under the Revolving Facility hereunder, in an amount less than $50,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof, (2) no Extended Tranche shall be secured by or receive the benefit of any collateral, credit support or security that does not secure or support the Existing Tranches, (3) the repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and, if applicable, termination of commitments), the mandatory prepayment and the commitment reduction of any of Loans or Commitments under the Extended Tranches shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Loans or Commitments (including all Extended Tranches) respectively; provided, that, Extended Loans may, if the Extending Lenders making such Extended Loans so agree, participate on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment or commitment reductions hereunder, (4) the final maturity of any Extended Tranche shall not be earlier than, and if such Extended Tranche is a term facility, shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the applicable Specified Existing Tranche, (5) each Lender in the Specified Existing Tranche shall be permitted to participate in the Extended Tranche in accordance with its pro rata share of the Specified Existing Tranche and (6) assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans and Commitments hereunder as set forth in Section 11.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans or, if applicable, commitments of any Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans (and, if applicable, commitments) from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(b)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election.

(c)Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins, fees or prepayments referenced in Section 4.18(a) and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 4.18(c)

and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any Extended Tranche in an aggregate principal amount that is less than (x) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Loans under the Term Facility hereunder, in an amount less than $50,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of any Extended Tranche relating to Loans under the Revolving Facility hereunder, in an amount less than $50,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 4.18 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 4.18 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 4.18(a) (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Tranches, such loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations) and Existing Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s applicable Specified Existing Tranches to the applicable Extended Tranches so converted by such Lender on such date.

(e)If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (A) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to obtain a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or a commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-

Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full at par by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption or (B) prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower’s option, if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.11, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 4.18, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full in cash by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date without any action on the part of such Non-Extending Lender and the Assignment and Assumption executed by the replacement Lender shall be effective for the purposes of this Section 4.18.

(f)This Section 4.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.8 or Section 11.1 to the contrary.

(g)No amendment, conversion or exchange of Loans pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with Section 4.18 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

4.19.Refinancing Facilities. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (A) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (A) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental Loans under any Incremental Term Loan Commitments) and any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans or (B) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments or any Incremental Loans or unused Incremental Revolving Commitments or any unused Refinancing Revolving Commitment of Refinancing Revolving Loans) under this Agreement, in the form of (x) Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Commitments or (y) Refinancing Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided, that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing, premiums, rate floors and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) (x) with respect to any Refinancing Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled maturity date of Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) being refinanced and (y) with respect to any Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced and (iv) will have other terms and conditions that are substantially identical to (or in the case of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of notes, are on market terms or are substantially identical to), or (taken as a whole) are no more favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than the Refinanced Debt; provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit

100

Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, Incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred under this Section 4.19 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $50,000,000 in the case of Refinancing Term Loans or $25,000,000 in the case of Refinancing Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $50,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Refinancing Term Loans or $25,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Refinancing Revolving Loans. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Refinancing Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Revolving Commitments and in each case with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving Loans, Refinancing Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b)This Section 4.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.8 or Section 11.1 to the contrary.

144

Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative 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 Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative 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 and the Secured Parties.

10.6.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Other Representatives or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Other Representative to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, 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 Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representative or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, 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 or any Specified Hedge

10.7.Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Other Representative in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the 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 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, 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 the Administrative Agent or Other Representative in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreements 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 the Administrative Agent or Other Representative under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that 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 found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s or such Other Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8.Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, each Other Representative and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent or an Other Representative. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent and each Other Representative in its individual capacity as a Lender 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 Administrative Agent or Other Representative, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include the Administrative Agent and each Other Representative in its individual capacity as such.

10.9.Successor Administrative Agent.

(a)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.9(b)), the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent by giving ten (10) days’ prior written

146

notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall have given such notice of its resignation as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.09(a), in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Xxxxxxx and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 10.9 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

10.10.Administrative Agent Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

10.11.Other Representatives. Each of the Lead Arranger, the Joint Bookrunners and the Documentation Agents, in its several capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.12.Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.10, if any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or because such Lender failed to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), or the Administrative Agent has paid over to a Governmental Authority applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days demand therefor, fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12. For purposes of this Section and the definitions referenced herein, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loans, Obligations and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.

10.13.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order

148

to have the claims of the Lenders, any Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5, 3.13, 4.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5, 3.13, 4.5 and 11.5.

10.14.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 Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(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

149

Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

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

10.15.Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Debt Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, and extensions, restructuring, renewals, replacements of, such agreements) in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or any other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior priority secured basis, and the parties hereto acknowledge that each of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Debt Intercreditor Agreement is (if entered into) binding upon them.

150

10.16.Erroneous Payments.

(a)Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including, with-out limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 10.16 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.

(c)Each Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates receives funds from (or at the direction of) any Loan Party in respect of any such

other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or any related transaction or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law or related to any Materials of Environmental Concern applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties or the unauthorized use by Persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such Persons or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or preparation of a defense in connection therewith, regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, the Borrower’s equity holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other person or entity, whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including in each case the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Other Representatives, the Administrative Agent and Indemnitees and, to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary, one special counsel or local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction per affected party (all the foregoing in this clause (b)(ii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons, (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee of its express and material contractual obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents pursuant to a claim made by the Borrower or (z) disputes between and among the Indemnitees (other than disputes involving the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives in their respective capacities as such) other than any dispute related to any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, to the extent that any such rights or claims relate to or are connected with the relationship between the Indemnitee and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries arising from this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise relate to any matter based on or related to the Facilities or the Loan Documents or the actions of an Indemnitee in connection with the Facilities or the Loan Documents.

(d)All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted pursuant to the notice information for the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(e)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower, the Loan Parties and the Indemnitees shall assert, and each of the Borrower, the Loan Parties and the Indemnitees hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party or any Indemnitee, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages

158

(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that the foregoing will not limit the Borrower’s indemnity or expense reimbursement obligations set forth above. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b)(ii) above 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 other than for direct or actual damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(f)The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 11.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, or other costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

11.6.Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 11.6.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.6(c) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (2) for an assignment to any Person if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) has occurred and is continuing, (3) for an assignment by a Conduit Lender to its designated Lender, a conduit administered or managed by such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender or to such Conduit Xxxxxx’s liquidity providers or (4) for any assignment between Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Term Loans unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice of such assignment of Term Loans thereof;

(B)the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving

159

Commitment to an Assignee that does not already have a Revolving Commitment or (2) for an assignment by a Conduit Lender to its designated Lender, a conduit administered or managed by such Conduit Xxxxxx’s designated Lender or to such Conduit Lender’s liquidity providers; and

(C)each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment.

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of any of the Term Loans, $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire;

(D)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the forms and documentation required pursuant to Sections 4.10 (e), (f) and (k);

(E)in the case of an assignment by a Conduit Lender to an Assignee that is not its designated Lender, another Conduit Lender administered or managed by such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender or such Conduit Lender’s liquidity providers (any such Assignee, a “Third Party Assignee”), such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender shall concurrently assign to such Third Party Assignee or, if such Third Party Assignee is a conduit not administered by such designated Lender, to an Assignee designated by such Third Party Assignee an amount of its Commitment at least equal to the amount of the Loans assigned to such Third Party Assignee by such Conduit Lender; provided, that if, in connection with such assignment, such Conduit Lender notifies the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that such Conduit Lender shall not make any additional Loans under this Agreement, such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender shall assign its entire Commitment to such Third Party Assignee or, if such Third Party Assignee is a conduit

160

not administered by such designated Lender, to an Assignee designated by such Third Party Assignee;

(F)no such assignment shall be made to an assignee that is (x) a Defaulting Lender at the time of such assignment or (y) a Disqualified Institution (unless consented to by the Borrower) and, in each case, any such purported assignment thereto shall be deemed null and void;

(G)notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assignment shall be made to any Affiliated Lender unless made in compliance with the additional terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.6(g); and

(H)notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 11.6(b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 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, and subject to the limitations of Section 11.6(c).

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender 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, each Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an Assignee, the Assignee’s

161

completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, a Person that is a Disqualified Institution (unless consented to by the Borrower) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (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 Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.6(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from change in a Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation). Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(e) (it being understood that the documentation required to be delivered under Section 4.10(e) shall be delivered to such Participant).

(iii)Each Lender that sells a participation or designates a Conduit Lender shall, acting 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 Conduit Lender and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s and Conduit Xxxxxx’s interest in the Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be

162

conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of its Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans (or other rights or obligations) hereunder are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or any successor sections) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over it, and this Section 11.6 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 Xxxxxx as a party hereto.

(e)The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Xxxxxx, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 11.6(d).

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Xxxxxx hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g)Subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.6 and Section 11.21, any Affiliated Lender may make Loans or Commitments or purchase an assignment of outstanding Loans or Commitments (including Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments) from one or more Lenders and any such purchases of Loans and/or Commitments may be made through (a) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis and/or (b) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures determined by such Affiliated Lender in its sole discretion, in each case, on the following basis and subject to the following terms and conditions:

163

(i)any such purchase of Loans (other than any commitment to provide Incremental Loans or any Incremental Commitments) shall be consummated as an assignment otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.6 and pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (it being understood and agreed that any such purchase of Loans that does not comply with this Section 11.6 and Section 11.21 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder);

(ii)[reserved];

(iii)the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and Commitments (including Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments) held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the total principal amount outstanding under the Term Facilities and any Incremental Term Loans at the time of such purported assignment;

(iv)no Affiliated Lender may purchase Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments hereunder and no Affiliated Lender may purchase any Revolving Loans or any Incremental Revolving Loans from any Lender, except from a Defaulting Lender (in which case, such Affiliated Lender shall purchase such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and shall purchase all such Loans and other amounts owing to the replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and assume all obligations of the replaced Lender under the Loan Documents in connection with the purchased Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 11.6 (except that the Borrower shall pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein and for the avoidance of doubt such purchase shall not include its Commitments));

(v)in the case of a purchase of Loans by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, no proceeds of the Revolving Facility and no proceeds of any Incremental Loans drawn under any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be used for any purchases hereunder;

(vi)any Loans purchased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;

(vii)no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material Non-public Information with respect to the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 11.6(g);

(viii)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the purchase of Loans made by an Affiliated Lender under this Section 11.6 shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Loans; and

(ix)in the case of a purchase by any Affiliated Lender, the assigning Lender and such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative

164

Agent an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption.

11.7.Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except as expressly provided in Section 11.6 and otherwise to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b)At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent surviving indemnity obligations in respect of which no claim or demand has been made and obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements or Specified Cash Management Arrangements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender shall have been made), the Collateral shall automatically be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Loan Documents and all Obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security Documents or other Loan Documents, upon the transfer or purported transfer by any Group Member of Securitization Assets to a Securitization Subsidiary in a Securitization, any Liens with respect to such Securitization Assets arising under this Agreement, any Security Documents or any other Loan Documents shall automatically be released (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into any such releases and other documents as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to give effect thereto).

11.21.Certain Undertakings with Respect to Certain Affiliate Lenders.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Affiliated Lenders shall not be permitted to attend any meeting (live or by any electronic means) in such Affiliated Lender’s capacity as a Lender with the Administrative Agent or other Lender or receive any information from the Administrative Agent or other Lender, except to the extent such information is made available to any Loan Party (or its representatives) and other than administrative notices given to all Lenders hereunder (including information delivered by the Borrower in accordance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.2), or have access to the Platform; and

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, with respect to any Loans at any time held by an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender shall have no right whatsoever, in its capacity as a Lender with respect to such Loans then held by such Affiliated Lender, whether or not the Borrower or any other Loan Party is subject to a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding or otherwise, so long as such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, to (i) consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to, or otherwise vote on any matter related to, or vote in connection with any direction delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders or Majority Facility

170

Lenders under any Facility pursuant to, any of the terms of the Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case to the extent such amendment, modification, waiver, consent, other action, vote or direction is effective with only the consent of or action by the Required Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders under any Facility (each, a “Lender Vote/Directive”) and, if applicable, the Borrower; provided, that for purposes of any Lender Vote/Directive the Administrative Agent shall automatically deem any Loans held by such Affiliated Lender to be voted on a pro rata basis in accordance with the votes cast in respect of the Loans of all other Lenders in the aggregate (other than any Affiliated Lenders) in connection with any such Lender Vote/Directive (including all voting and consent rights arising out of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings (except for voting on any plan of reorganization or refraining from voting on any plan of reorganization, in which case the Administrative Agent shall vote or refrain from voting such Loans of such Affiliated Lender in its sole discretion)); provided, further, that no such Lender Vote/Directive shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments or other recoveries which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis under the Loan Documents and such Affiliated Lender’s vote shall be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization or other amendment, waiver, modification or consent proposes to treat the Obligations of the Affiliated Lender in a manner less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

11.22.No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Other Representative, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 11.22, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, 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 or Other Representative, on the one hand, and the Borrower and such other Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, acknowledges and agrees 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 Lenders or Other Representatives, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender or Other Representative has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, their stockholders or their 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 or Other Representative has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender or Other Representative is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, 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, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that it will not claim that any Lender or Other Representative has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower or such other Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

171

11.23.Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any of the parties hereto, 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.

11.24.Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties 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 and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution

172

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

(b)As used in this Section 11.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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