(b) Unless otherwise specified herein, the baskets and other exceptions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement (or in any defined term used in Article VI) shall be tested solely at the time of consummation of the relevant transaction or action utilizing any of such baskets or other exceptions and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such baskets (including ratio based baskets) are exceeded as a result of fluctuations to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed Test Period after the last time such baskets (including ratio based baskets) were calculated for any purpose under Article VI, such baskets (including ratio based baskets) will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If any Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness are incurred to refinance Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness, in each case, initially incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA at the time of incurrence, and such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured by such Xxxxx, as applicable, does not exceed the

principal amount of such Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured by such Liens, as applicable, being refinanced, plus an amount equal to premiums, defeasance costs and fees and expenses in connection therewith.

(c) For purposes of determining whether the incurrence of any Indebtedness or Lien or the making of any Investment, disposition, Restricted Payment or prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Junior Debt complies with any basket that is based upon the greater of a specified Dollar Equivalent amount and a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis.

SECTION 1.11 Benchmark Replacement Notification. Section 2.14 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR for any applicable Currency is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Administrative Agents do not warrant or accept any responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate, or Daily Simple RFR for any applicable Currency, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

SECTION 1.12 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a) The Revolving Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of the Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the initial advance, or the conversion, continuation or prepayment, of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Dollar Equivalent (the resulting quotient rounded upwards, at the Revolving Administrative Agent’s discretion, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%), as determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be. All financial statements and Compliance Certificates shall be set forth in Dollars. For purposes of preparing financial statements, calculating financial covenants, and determining compliance with covenants expressed in Dollars, Alternative Currencies shall be converted into Dollars in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 1.13 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 1.14 Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated (including for purposes of Section 2.20) in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.14; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.14, (A) when calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Rate,” (ii) the definition of “ECF Percentage” and (iii) Section 6.12 (other than for the purpose of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 6.12 in connection with any basket), the events described in this Section 1.14 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect; provided, however, that voluntary prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during any fiscal year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.11(c) for any prior fiscal year) shall be given pro forma effect after such fiscal year-end and prior to the time any mandatory prepayment pursuant to

Section 2.11(c) is due for purposes of calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the ECF Percentage for such mandatory prepayment, if any and (B) when calculating any such ratio or test for purposes of the incurrence of any Indebtedness, cash and Cash Equivalents resulting from the incurrence of any such Indebtedness shall be excluded from the pro forma calculation of any applicable ratio or test.

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test or Consolidated EBITDA, Specified Transactions (and, subject to clause (d) below, the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (a) during the applicable Test Period or (b) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.14, then such financial ratio or test or Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.14; provided that with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of Holdings are available, the Borrower shall determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Borrower.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt the amount of “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies related to any Specified Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, acquisitions occurring prior to the Closing Date) that are projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of actions that have been taken or initiated or are expected to be taken or initiated on or prior to the date that is eight fiscal quarters after the end of the relevant Test Period (including restructuring and integration charges) (which cost savings shall be added to Consolidated EBITDA until fully realized and calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as though such cost savings had been realized on the first day of the relevant period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized from such actions (it being understood that “run rate” shall mean the full reasonably expected recurring benefit during the eight fiscal quarter period referred to above that is associated with the relevant action); provided that (A) such cost savings are factually supportable and reasonably identifiable and (B) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.

(d) In the event that Holding or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event an item of Indebtedness, or Disqualified Equity Interests (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a ratio basket based on the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, such ratio(s) shall be calculated without regard to the incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility in connection therewith), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subject to paragraph (a), subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness will be given effect as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to

accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.14 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the asset sale, transfer, disposition or lease thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no Pro Forma Effect shall be given to the classification thereof as discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA or any component thereof attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such asset sale, transfer, disposition or lease shall have been consummated.

SECTION 1.15 Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate, or Daily Simple RFR. With respect to the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, the Administrative Agents will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, the Administrative Agents shall provide the Borrower five (5) Business Days’ advance notice prior to the effectiveness of such amendment; provided, further, that with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agents shall provide notice to the Lenders each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

SECTION 1.16 Additional Alternative Currencies for Loans.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that (i) Revolving Loans be made in a currency other than Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars or (ii) Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Danish Krone or Brazilian Real; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit, Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Danish Krone or Brazilian Real) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Such request shall be subject to the written approval of the Revolving Administrative Agent and (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, each of the Revolving Lenders or (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit, each of the L/C Issuers.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Revolving Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 10 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Revolving Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Each such request shall also identify the applicable benchmark rate that is to apply to Loan Document Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to, such requested additional Alternative Currency. The Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender or each L/C Issuer, as applicable, thereof. Each Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall notify the Revolving Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency and the usage of such benchmark rate.

(c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer, as applicable, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer to permit Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued, as applicable, in such requested currency and such benchmark rate to be used. If the Revolving Administrative Agent and (i) all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency and using such benchmark rate or (ii) all of the L/C Issuers consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as applicable. If the Revolving Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.16, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

(d) In connection with any approved request for an Alternative Currency, the Revolving Administrative Agent will have the right to make any technical, administrative or operational changes in a manner substantially consistent with market practice that the Revolving Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate to reflect the inclusion of such Alternative Currency and the adoption and implementation of the benchmark rate applicable thereto and to permit the administration thereof by the Revolving Administrative Agent from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 1.17 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) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.18 Certifications. Any certificate or other writing required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be certified by any officer or other authorized representative of any Person shall be deemed to be executed and delivered by the individual holding such office solely in such individual’s capacity as an officer or other authorized representative of such Person and not in such officer’s or other authorized representative’s individual capacity.

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral (in an amount at least equal to 103% of such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure), satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;

(D) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(E) except as otherwise agreed by the Revolving Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuers shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Revolving Administrative Agent in Section 8.01 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agents” or “Revolving Administrative Agent” as used in Section 8.01 included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent) in a form mutually agreed by the Borrower and L/C Issuer, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such request for L/C Credit Extension must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least five Business Days (or such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency

thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (including a final expiration date in the case of an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require (which may include the form of the requested Letter of Credit). In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any request for a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Revolving Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Revolving Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit request from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Revolving Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Revolving Administrative Agent (or any Lender or Loan Party through the Revolving Administrative Agent), at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit immediately upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit request, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (which shall be a Business Day) (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Revolving Administrative Agent (or any Lender or Loan Party through the Revolving Administrative Agent) or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit request, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits such L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated

amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline from the Revolving Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

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

(vi) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit request and those of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling.

(c) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by such L/C Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes of Revolving Commitments under which Letters of Credit are issued in respect of which the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent of the respective L/C Issuer has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.04(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) and unless provisions reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer for the treatment of such Letter of Credit as a letter of credit under a successor credit facility have been agreed upon, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be replaced and returned to the applicable L/C Issuer undrawn and marked “cancelled” or to the extent that the Borrower is unable to so replace and return any Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be secured by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral for any such Letter of Credit. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed solely with such L/C Issuer; provided that, at the request of the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Sublimit immediately following such Maturity Date shall be no less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit immediately prior to such Maturity Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments immediately following such Maturity Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Maturity Date.

(d) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of a compliant drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent thereof (including the date on which such payment is to be made). Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit with notice to the Borrower (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, such L/C Issuer, in each case, through the Revolving Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing; provided that, if such reimbursement is not made on the date of payment by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall pay interest to the relevant L/C Issuer on such amount at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans under the Base Rate Option (without duplication of interest payable on L/C Borrowings). The relevant L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, such L/C Issuer by such time, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the

Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Revolving Loans under the Base Rate Option but subject to the requirements for the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility of the Revolving Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request).

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(i) make funds available to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer in Dollars at the Revolving Administrative Agent’s office for payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Revolving Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(d)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in such amount and, for the avoidance of doubt, the making of such Revolving Loan under the Base Rate Option in an aggregate amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount shall satisfy the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereof. The Revolving Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing under the Base Rate Option because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with Section 2.13(c). In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Xxxxxx’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(d) by the time specified in Section 2.04(d)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Revolving Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the L/C Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Commitment or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Revolving Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Repayments of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(d), if the Revolving Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Revolving Administrative Agent), the Revolving Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Revolving Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i) is required to be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Revolving Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the L/C Overnight Rate. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

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

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

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

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant currency to the Borrower or any subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

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

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each applicable Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively

deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(g) Role of an L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Revolving Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Revolving Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(d); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against any L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such L/C Issuer or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued or when it is amended with the consent of the beneficiary thereof, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentage allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.13. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing

with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.13. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such subsidiaries.

(m) Resignation as L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer (unless it is the sole L/C Issuer, in which case, so long as a replacement L/C Issuer reasonably acceptable to the Borrower has agreed to assume the responsibilities of the L/C Issuer, such L/C Issuer) may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder that consents to act in such capacity; provided, however, that any failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall not affect the resignation of any L/C Issuer. If any L/C Issuer resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit that it issued, including Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(d)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and upon the acceptance of such appointment by such successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit and the successor L/C Issuer shall arrange for the return and cancellation of all such Letters of Credit to the resigning L/C Issuer.

(n) Existing Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Existing Letter of Credit shall, effective as of the Closing Date and without any further action by any Borrower, be continued as a Letter of Credit hereunder and from and after the Closing Date be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

SECTION 2.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than, in the case of a Borrowing on the Closing Date, 10:00 a.m., New York City time, and otherwise 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request, in each case, to the Applicable Account of the Applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by either (a) promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts of the Borrower maintained with the Applicable Administrative Agent or (b) by wire transfer of such funds, in each case, in accordance with instructions provided by the Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Applicable Administrative Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that if on the date the Borrowing Request with respect to a Borrowing under a Revolving Facility is given by the Borrower (other than with respect to a Borrowing under the Initial Revolving Facility on the Closing Date), there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the

proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowing and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(b) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Applicable Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Applicable Administrative Agent therefor, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option, or in the case of Alternative Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

(c) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

(d) The Swingline Loan Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swingline Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.03(b), fund such Swingline Loan to the Borrower in Dollars and immediately available funds prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing, to the Applicable Account of the Revolving Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. A Swingline Loan Note shall, if required by the Swingline Loan Lender, evidence the Swingline Loans.

(e)

(i) The Swingline Loan Lender may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of any or all of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and each Revolving Lender shall make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans with respect to which repayment is demanded, plus, if the Swingline Loan Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon; provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Commitment, minus its Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Commitments and minus its Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loans not so being repaid. Revolving Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.03(a) without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. The Swingline Loan Lender shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by email, letter or facsimile) that such Revolving Loans are to be made under this Section 2.06(e) and of the apportionment among the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.03 or in Section 4.02 are then satisfied) by the time the Swingline Loan Lender so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day next after the date the Revolving Lenders receive such notice from the Swingline Loan Lender.

(ii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Loan Lender (as the Swingline Loan Lender) any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(e) by the time specified in Section 2.06(e)(i), the Swingline Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Revolving Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Loan Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Loan Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan with respect to such prepayment. A certificate of the Swingline Loan Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Revolving Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) In addition to making Swingline Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.06(d), without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03(b), PNC Bank, as the Swingline Loan Lender, may make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Borrower and such Swingline Loan Lender relating to the Borrower’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swingline Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of the Borrower’s cash assets as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the Borrower’s accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swingline Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.06(f) in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount specified in Section 2.01(c), (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount specified in Section 2.03(b), (iii) be payable by the Borrower, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times specified in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Revolving Commitment Termination Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swingline Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Revolving Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.06(e), and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article II.

SECTION 2.07 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing of Loans in Dollars under any Term Rate Loan Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(b), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month, as applicable to Revolving Loans or Term Loans as the case may be, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing of Loans in an Alternative Currency under any Term Rate Loan Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(b), then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Borrowing shall automatically be continued under the applicable Term Rate Loan Option in its original Currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month at the end of such Interest Period. If the Borrower provides any Borrowing Request related to a Loan at the Eurocurrency Rate Option, Term SOFR Rate Option, or on and after the Term RFR Transition Date with respect to any Alternative Currency, the Term RFR Option for such Alternative Currency, but fails to identify an Interest Period therefor, such Borrowing Request shall be deemed to request an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any Borrowing Request with respect to a Borrowing of Loans in Dollars that fails to select an Interest Rate Option shall be deemed to be a request for a Term SOFR Rate Option with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no election as to Currency is specified in the applicable Borrowing Request, then the requested Loans shall be made in Dollars.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) below; provided that each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice by the Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that:

(i) any such notice shall be received by the Applicable Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction;

(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million or any whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof;

(iii) any Revolving Commitment reduction or termination shall be in an amount not to exceed the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; and

(iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Loan Commitment exceeds the amount of the Revolving Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Loan Commitment, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Loan Commitment, unless otherwise specified by the Borrower.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Term Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Unless previously terminated, the Additional Term B Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Additional Term B Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Unless previously terminated, the Additional Term B-1 Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Additional Term B-1 Loans on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Unless previously terminated, the Incremental Term B-1 Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Incremental Term B-1 Loans on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

(ii) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Revolving Commitments shall terminated on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Promptly following receipt of any notice of a commitment termination or reduction, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, incurrence of Indebtedness or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the accounts maintained by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request through the Applicable Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a Revolving Note, a Term Note or a Swingline Loan Note, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note, a Term Note or a Swingline Loan Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Term Administrative Agent (i) for the ratable account of each Term Lender holding an Initial Term Loan, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date), the principal amount of Initial Term Loans equal to (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Initial Term Loans immediately after the funding thereof on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date multiplied by (y) 0.25%, (ii) for the ratable account of each Term Lender holding a Term B Loan, on January 1, 2024 and the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December thereafter, the principal amount of Term B Loans equal to (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term B Loans immediately after the funding thereof on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date multiplied by (y) 0.25% and (iii) for the ratable account of each Term Lender holding a Term B-1 Loan, on June 30, 2024 and the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December thereafter, the principal amount of Term B-1 Loans equal to (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term B-1 Loans immediately after the funding thereof on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date multiplied by (y) 0.25%; provided that, in each case, such installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans, Term B Loans or Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.11(a)(iii)(C) and Section 2.11(f). In connection with any Incremental Term Loans that constitute part of the same Class as the Term B-1 Loans, the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent shall be permitted to adjust the rate of prepayment in respect of such Class such that the Term Lenders holding Term B-1 Loans comprising part of such Class continue to receive a payment that is not less than the same Dollar amount that such Term Lenders would have received absent the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans; provided that if such Incremental Term Loans are to be “fungible” with the Term B-1 Loans notwithstanding any other conditions specified in this Section 2.10(a), the amortization schedule for such “fungible” Incremental Term Loan may provide for amortization in such other percentage(s) to be agreed by Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent to ensure that the Incremental Term Loans will be “fungible” with the Term B-1 Loans. Any prepayment of Initial Term Loans, Term B Loans or Term B-1 Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Initial Term Loans, Term B Loans or Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction in direct order of maturity).

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Maturity Date.

(c) The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date for the applicable Revolving Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility outstanding on such date.

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.12(d)); provided that the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Prepayment to the Applicable Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City Time, (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate Option; (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars that bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Option; (iii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate Option; (iv) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Daily Simple RFR Option; or (v) on the date of prepayment of Swingline Loans, in each case of the foregoing option in this Section 2.11(a), setting forth the following information:

(A) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(B) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Swingline Loans;

(C) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, Term SOFR Rate Option applies, Daily Simple SOFR Option applies, the Daily Simple RFR Option applies and the Eurocurrency Rate Option applies; and

(D) the Currency of such Loan and total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than (x) in the case of Term Loans, $500,000 and (y) in the case of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the lesser of (A) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments or (B) $100,000 for any Swingline Loan and $500,000 for any Revolving Loan.

(ii) Dutch Auction Procedures. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Loan Party may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the Dutch Auction Procedures, in each case, in accordance with Schedule 2.11 and the provisions of Section 9.04.

(iii) Provisions Regarding Voluntary Prepayments.

(A) Each Notice of Prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable refinancing event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment if such condition is not satisfied.

(B) Promptly following receipt of any such Notice of Prepayment, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Notice of Prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(C) Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) may be applied to any Class or Classes of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower in its sole discretion. Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loan permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.10(a) in a manner determined at the sole discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment, and on a pro rata basis among Class or Classes of Term Loans that the Borrower selects to prepay. In the event that the Borrower does not specify which Classes or Classes to prepay or the order in which to apply

prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis among all Term Loan Classes. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.

(b) Prepayment Events; Asset Sales; Recovery Events. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to:

(i) in the case of a Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (a) of such definition, 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds in excess of the applicable Disposal Threshold;

(ii) in the case of any other Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (b) of such definition, 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds,

provided that, in the case of any Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (a) of such definition, if Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries invest (or commit to invest) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 18 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds by Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Investments permitted under Section 6.04, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 18-month period (or if committed to be so invested within such 18-month period, have not been so invested within 6 months after the end of the 18-month period), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds payable hereunder that have not been so invested (the date of such required prepayment (the “Reinvestment Prepayment Date”), provided, further, that prior to any Reinvestment Prepayment Date such Net Proceeds may be applied to prepay Revolving Borrowings in the sole discretion of the Borrower.

(c) Excess Cash Flow. Following the end of each fiscal year of Holdings, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (the “Excess Cash Flow Period”), the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that such amount shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar, at the option of the Borrower, by the aggregate amount (other than any amount applied to reduce the prepayment required under this paragraph in respect of any prior year) of:

(i) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction as a result of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash prepayment),

(ii) voluntary prepayments or repurchases of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Indebtedness under Incremental Facilities, Ratio Indebtedness or Incremental Equivalent Debt that are, in each case, secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term B-1 Loans and Initial Revolving Loans (provided that (x) in the case of the prepayment of any revolving indebtedness, there is a corresponding permanent reduction in revolving commitments and (y) in the event of any repurchase of Indebtedness, such reduction shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash payment) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due,

(iii) the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Ratio Indebtedness or Incremental Equivalent Debt resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Sections 2.19(b), 2.24(c) and 9.02(d), of this Agreement (or any similar lender replacement provision under the Loan Documents or in the documents governing such other Indebtedness) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due

as provided below, in an amount equal to the actual amount of cash paid in connection with the relevant assignment,

(iv) (x) prepayments of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) and (y) prepayments of any other revolving loans under any revolving facility (other than under the Revolving Facility or any Incremental Revolving Facility) that is secured, in whole or in part, by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Initial Revolving Loans (but without regard to the control of remedies) (in each case of this clause (iv), to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding revolving commitments), during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due, and

(v) the amount of Capital Expenditures or acquisitions of intellectual property accrued or made in cash during such period during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due,

provided that in the case of the payments described in each of the foregoing clauses of this Section 2.11(c), only to the extent such payments are not funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness under a Revolving Facility or any other revolving credit facilities); provided, further, that an Excess Cash Flow payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall only be required with respect to amounts in excess of $20,000,000 for any Excess Cash Flow Period (and only such excess amount shall be applied to the payment thereof). Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.

(d) Exceeding Revolving Commitments or Aggregate Alternative Currency Sublimit.

(i) If for any reason the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event, within one Business Day) prepay the Swingline Loans, Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize any other L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.11(d).

(ii) If the Revolving Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the lesser of (a) $100,000,000 and (b) the total amount of the Revolving Commitment (the “Aggregate Alternative Currency Sublimit”), then within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Sublimit.

(e) Other Applicable Indebtedness. In the case of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (c), Holdings may use a portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, in respect of any such fiscal year that would otherwise be required to be applied to prepay Term Loan Borrowings, to prepay or repurchase on a pro rata basis any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Borrowings, to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event or with such Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness and such amount so used shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any prepayment amount due hereunder in respect of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow.

(f) Order of Payments; Declined Proceeds. Prior to any mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in a Notice of Prepayment. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings made at a time when more than one Class of Term Loans remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion,

select any Class or Classes of Term Loan Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Class or Classes of Term Loan Borrowings selected by the Borrower pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class (or less than pro rata so long as the lenders of such Class of loans to be prepaid on a less than pro rata basis agree to such less than pro rata amount); provided that any mandatory prepayment of (x) Term Loans with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 2.21, shall be applied to the Class of Term Loans being refinanced pursuant thereto or (y) Term Loans with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness issued to the extent permitted under Section 6.01(a), shall be applied to the Class of Term Loans being refinanced pursuant thereto; provided, further, that any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for any Class of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans of such Class) may elect, by written notice to the Term Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not a portion of) any prepayment of its Term Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Class pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) of this Section or a mandatory prepayment as a result of the Prepayment Event set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof solely to the extent such prepayment represents a refinancing of the Term Loans, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Class but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (such amounts, “Retained Declined Proceeds”). In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis among all Term Loan Classes.

(g) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment (to the extent practicable) hereunder by delivering a Notice of Prepayment to the Applicable Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City Time, (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate Option; (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars that bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Option; (iii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate Option; or (iv) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Daily Simple RFR Option (or in each case, such shorter period as agreed between the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders.

(h) Foreign Prepayment Event. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a payment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) are prohibited by or would violate or conflict with any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower or would conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member or management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be, so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all actions required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into

account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable, (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation), including any withholding tax, with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, an amount equal to the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans (or other Loans required to be prepaid) at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be; provided that when the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such determination) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable and (C) in connection with any prepayment attributable to any joint venture, to the extent that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), violate any organizational document of any joint venture (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) existing on the Closing Date or the date of investment in such joint venture (so long as such restrictions in such organizational documents were not entered into for purposes of circumventing such joint venture’s obligations to make any payment in respect of such Excess Cash Flow or a Foreign Prepayment Event), in each case if the amount subject to the relevant prepayment were upstreamed or transferred as a distribution or dividend, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be, so long, but only so long, as the applicable organizational documents will not permit repatriation to the Borrower, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable organizational documents, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable.

(b) Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Term Rate Loan Option, the Borrower shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent thereof by delivering a Borrowing Request not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least (i) for a Term SOFR Rate Option with respect to Revolving Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date, and (ii) for a Eurocurrency Rate Option with respect to Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date.

(ii) Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 2.13(c) reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by the Applicable Administrative Agent.

(d) Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available; Illegality.

(i) Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time:

(A) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period (if applicable), the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) the Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple RFR applicable to a Loan (in each case whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, including, without limitation, because such rate for the corresponding applicable Currency is not available or published on a current basis or (y) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Currency or with respect to such rate (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls); or

(B) the Applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or, prior to the Term RFR Transition Date with respect to any Loans that bear interest based on Daily Simple RFR denominated in any Alternative Currency, Daily Simple RFR with respect to any Currency, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or, on and after the Term RFR Transition Date with respect to any Loans that bear interest based Term RFR denominated in any Currency, Term RFR for such Currency cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period; or

(C) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term Rate Loan (in each case whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (A) deposits in the applicable Currency are not available to any Lender in connection with such Term Rate Loan, or are not being offered to banks in the market for the applicable Currency, amount, and Interest Period of such Term Rate Loan, or (B) the Term Rate Loan Option for any requested Currency or Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan and, in each case, the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Applicable Administrative Agent,

then the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.13(d)(iii).

(ii) Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Governmental Authority shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which any Interest Rate Option applies, or the determination or charging of interest rates based upon any Interest Rate Option has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Requirements of Law or

100

any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase, sell, or take deposits of any Currency in the applicable interbank market for the applicable Currency, then the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.13(d)(iii).

(iii) Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 2.13(d)(i) above, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 2.13(d)(i) above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Applicable Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.

(A) Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Applicable Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Loan under the affected Interest Rate Option in each such Currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods) until the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Applicable Administrative Agent, of the Applicable Administrative Agent’s or such Xxxxxx’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

(B) If at any time the Applicable Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 2.13(d)(i) (a) if the Borrower has previously notified the Applicable Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a an affected Interest Rate Option, and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall (i) with regard to any such pending request for Loans denominated in Dollars, be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) with regard to any such pending request for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, be deemed ineffective (in each case to the extent of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods), (b) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in Dollars shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (c) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election, either be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, that absent notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency).

(C) If any Lender notifies the Applicable Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 2.13(d)(ii), the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under Section 2.16, as to any Loan of the Lender to which an affected Interest Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan (which shall be, with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 2.11(a). Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan (which shall be, with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) upon such specified date.

(e) Interest Payment Dates. As to any Loans to which the Base Rate Option, Daily Simple SOFR or, prior to the Term RFR Transition Date with respect to any Currency, the Daily Simple RFR Option for the applicable Currency applies, interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. As to any Loans to which a Term Rate Loan Option applies (including on and after the Term RFR Transition Date with respect to any Currency, as to any RFR Loan denominated in such Currency), interest shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period

101

for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 2.11 shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Loan Document Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Loan Document Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.14), 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 for any Currency, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) 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 Applicable Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.

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

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(d) below and (E) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, 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

102

other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

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

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or

103

amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any Term Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrower, convert, continue or prepay any Term Rate Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any or Term Rate Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). In the case of any Term Rate Loan, the loss, cost or expense of any Lender shall be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred at the SOFR rate that would have been applicable to such Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the SOFR market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor and all administrative, processing or similar fees.

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

104

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by an Administrative Agent for its own account, such Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Applicable Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Applicable Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Holdings by a Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent) or by the Applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Applicable 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 Applicable Administrative Agent.

(f) Each Lender shall deliver to Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent) or promptly notify Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Holdings or the

105

Applicable Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty as to which the United States is a party,

(B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such 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 and that no payment under any Loan Document is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., a partnership or participating Lender) IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) , accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, or other applicable documentation from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s), or

(E) any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which Holdings becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent), any other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) 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 Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Holdings or the Applicable 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 Holdings or the Applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

106

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.17(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) If the Applicable Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its good faith discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 2.17, it shall 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 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Applicable 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 Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at Holdings’ request, provide Holdings with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event will the Applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the payment of which would place the Applicable Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Applicable Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid and (ii) this Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require the Applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Applicable Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.17, “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Loan Lender.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, (i) except with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon (for the avoidance of doubt any amounts received after 3:00 p.m. or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on such day shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, so long as such funds are actually received on the date when due). All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Term Rate Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof

107

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 payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan (or of interest thereon) shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for any permitted assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Section 2.19, 2.24 or 9.02 or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purposes of clause (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes,” a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) or Loan(s) (as applicable) to which such participation relates.

(d) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Holdings prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii)

108

hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and to be applied to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20 Incremental Loans and Commitments.

(a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agents (an “Incremental Request”), request (i) one or more new commitments which shall be (A) of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or (B) a new Class of term loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) under this Agreement and/or (ii) on or more increase in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or the establishment of one or more revolving commitments and any increase thereunder (each an “Incremental Revolving Facility”; and, collectively with any such Revolving Commitment Increase, the “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and, collectively with any Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), in each case, to be incurred by the Borrower, whereupon the Administrative Agents shall promptly deliver a copy of such Incremental Request to each of the Lenders.

(b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, in each case, other than Loan Increases, effected through the establishment of one or more new Term Loans or new Revolving Facility made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.20, (i) each

109

Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Revolving Commitment of any Class are effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (including through any Revolving Commitment Increase), subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.20, (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall make its Commitment available to the Borrower (the loans made pursuant to Incremental Revolving Commitments, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, collectively with any Incremental Term Loan, the “Incremental Loans”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Revolving Commitment, and (ii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to its Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Request. Each Incremental Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loan. Incremental Commitments and Incremental Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loans) or by any other bank or other financial institution which is an Eligible Assignee (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”) (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing an Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loans, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender” or “Incremental Term Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Loan Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making of such Incremental Commitments and Incremental Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Additional Lender.

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Facility Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 9.02) on the date of such Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) (x) no Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and (y) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20(d), the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.04(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 5.01; provided that to the extent the proceeds of the Incremental Loans are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the conditions set forth in this clause (i) may be tested in accordance with Section 1.08 and/or modified in a manner customary for “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality to the extent agreed by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Loans;

(ii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 (and need not be in an increment of $1,000,000) if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below) and each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 (and need not be in an increment of $1,000,000) if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below); and

(iii) at the time of and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any proposed Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed (this Section 2.20(d)(iii), the “Incremental Cap”):

provided that (I) the first $500,000,000 of Incremental Term Loans (including the Initial Term Loans) incurred by the Borrower shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Starter Basket” and may not be reclassified, (II) subject to the foregoing clause (I), unless the Borrower elects otherwise, Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans (and any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(xxiii)) shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (D) above (to the extent compliant therewith) prior to utilization of any available capacity under clauses (A), (B) or (C) above, (III) subject to the foregoing clause (I), Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans (and any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred in lieu

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class and any Loan Increase shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Initial Term Facility or Initial Revolving Facility, as applicable, existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (i) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (ii) be not materially more favorable (when taken as a whole), as reasonably determined by the Borrower, to the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility than the terms and conditions of the Initial Term Facility or Initial Revolving Facility, as applicable, except, in each case under this clause (ii), with respect to (x) covenants and other terms only applicable to periods after the Term Maturity Date for the Initial Term Facility or the Revolving Maturity Date for the Initial Revolving Facility, as applicable, or (y) covenants and other terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents; provided that to the extent any covenant or term is (I) added for the benefit of the Incremental Lenders of an Incremental Term Commitment, such covenant or term will be deemed satisfactory to the Term Administrative Agent to the extent that such term or covenant is also added, or the features of such term or provision are provided, for the benefit of the Initial Term Facility or (II) added for the benefit of Incremental Lenders of an Incremental Revolving Facility, such covenant or term will be deemed satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent to the extent that such term or provision is also added, or the features of such term or provision are provided, for the benefit of the Initial Revolving Facility; provided that in the case of a Term Loan Increase or a Revolving Commitment Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase or a Revolving Commitment Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees, it being understood that, if required to consummate such Loan Increase transaction, the interest rate margins and rate floors may be increased, any call protection provision may be made more favorable to the applicable existing Lenders and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Loan Increase) to the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Commitments being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date (provided that, if such Incremental Term Loans are to be “fungible” with any existing Term Loans, notwithstanding any other conditions specified in this Section 2.20(e), the amortization schedule for such “fungible” Incremental Term Loan may provide for amortization in such other percentage(s) to be agreed by Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent to ensure that such Incremental Term Loans will be “fungible” with such existing Term Loans). In any event:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments:

(A) shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than any Loan Party unless such guarantee is provided for the benefit of the Lenders;

(B) (i) shall rank equal in right of payment and in priority of right of security with the Initial Term Loans;

(C) shall not mature earlier than the Term Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans (other than in a principal amount not to exceed the Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount); provided that the requirements set forth in this clause (C) shall not apply to any Incremental Term Loans consisting of a customary bridge facility, so long as such bridge facility provides for an automatic extension to long-term Indebtedness that satisfies the requirements set forth in this clause (C);

(D) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans; provided that the requirements set forth in this clause (D) shall not apply to (x) any Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount and (y) any Incremental Term Loans consisting of a customary bridge facility, so long as such bridge facility

112

provides for an automatic extension to long-term Indebtedness that satisfies the requirements set forth in this clause (D);

(E) subject to clause (D) above and clause (iii) below and Section 2.20(e)(iii), shall have amortization and an Applicable Rate determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders;

(F) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment; provided that voluntary prepayments may be made on a non pro rata basis; and

(G) may contain customary “most-favored nation” pricing provisions with respect to future incurrences of Indebtedness.

(ii) the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments:

(B) shall rank equal in right of payment and in priority of right of security with the Initial Revolving Loans,

(C) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date for the Initial Revolving Loans (without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of “Revolving Maturity Date”) (other than in a principal amount not to exceed the Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount or any customary bridge facility, so long as such bridge facility provides for an automatic extension to long-term Indebtedness that satisfies the requirements set forth in this clause (C)) and shall not be subject to amortization;

(D) shall provide that the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Incremental Revolving Commitments (and related outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans), (2) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any Revolving Commitments, (3) repayments made in connection with any refinancing of Revolving Commitments and (4) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of Commitments) of Revolving Loans with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments after the associated Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Revolving Commitments existing on such Incremental Facility Closing Date;

(E) subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 in connection with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date at any time Incremental Revolving Commitments with a later Maturity Date are outstanding, shall provide that all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by each Lender with a Revolving Commitment in accordance with its percentage of the Revolving Commitments existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date (and except as provided in Section 2.04, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued);

(F) shall provide that the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Incremental Revolving Commitments after the associated Incremental Facility Closing Date may be made on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis or greater than a pro rata basis, in each case, with all other Revolving Commitments existing on such Incremental Facility Closing Date;

(G) shall provide that any Incremental Revolving Commitments may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the

113

applicable Revolving Commitments prior to the Incremental Facility Closing Date; provided at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Incremental Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than four (4) different Maturity Dates unless otherwise agreed to by the Revolving Administrative Agent; and

(H) shall have an Applicable Rate determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders;

(iii) the interest rate margins, original issue discount or upfront fees (if any), interest rate floors (if any) and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the Effective Yield with respect to any Incremental Term Loans that satisfy each of the MFN Conditions is greater than the Effective Yield for the Term B-1 Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Term B-1 Loans) by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Rate for the Term B-1 Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Term B-1 Loans) shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Term B-1 Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Term B-1 Loans) is equal to the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% (this clause (iii), the “MFN Adjustment”).

(f) Incremental Facility Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and, without delay, the Administrative Agents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agents and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 and the Lenders expressly authorize the Administrative Agents to enter into every such Incremental Facility Amendment, including any amendments that are not adverse to the interests of any Lender that are made to effectuate changes necessary to enable any Incremental Loans that are intended to be treated as fungible with any Class of outstanding Term Loans to be treated as fungible with such Term Loans, which shall include without limitation (i) any amendments to Section 2.10 that do not reduce the ratable amortization received by each Lender thereunder and (ii) any amendments which extend or add “call protection” to any existing Class of Loans, including amendments to Section 2.11(a) or Section 2.12(d). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loan, unless it so agrees.

(g) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agents and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agents to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Facility. On the effective date of such Incremental Facility, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(h) This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.21 Refinancing Amendments.

(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 Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Applicable 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

114

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 Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other 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 Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(g), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Applicable Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the relevant L/C Issuers or the Swingline Loan Lender; third, if so determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent or requested by the relevant L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as Holdings may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Swingline Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and either, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

115

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(i).

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04 or Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Requirements of Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures specified in the definition of “Cash Collateralized.”

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Holdings, the Administrative Agents and the Swingline Loan Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agents will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Applicable Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable percentages of the Commitments in respect thereof, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 2.23 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Holdings (including mechanics to permit cashless rollovers and exchanges by Xxxxxxx). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Xxxxxx’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Xxxxxx’s acceptance has been made.

116

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by Holdings, the Borrower each applicable Accepting Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Holdings shall have delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent in connection therewith, in each case substantially in the form delivered on the Closing Date (with appropriate modification thereto to reflect the nature of the Loan Modification Offer). The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Applicable Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, (i) replace such Non-Accepting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (ii) prepay such Non-Accepting Lender; provided that neither the Applicable Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees), (c) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b) and (d) such Non-Accepting Lender shall be entitled to any prepayment premiums or penalties from the Borrower to the extent a premium or penalty would be due in respect of a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.25 ESG Amendment.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower, in consultation with the Co-Sustainability Agents, shall be entitled to either (a) establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) targets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or (b) establish external ESG ratings (“ESG Ratings”) targets to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Agents. The Co-Sustainability Agents, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating either the KPIs or ESG Ratings and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement; provided that such amendment shall become effective on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such amendment 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 Revolving Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility. Upon effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on either the Borrower’s performance against the KPIs or its obtainment of the target ESG Ratings, certain adjustments to the Commitment Fee Rate, Letter of Credit Fee and Applicable Rate in respect of the Revolving Facility may be made; provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or increase of more than (a) 1.00 basis point in the unused commitment fee payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and/or (b) 5.00 basis points in the relevant Applicable Rate or Letter of Credit Fee or, in each case, may remain unchanged if the KPI is within certain buffer ranges to be set forth in the ESG Amendment (such adjustments, collectively, the “Sustainability-Linked Adjustments”). If KPIs are utilized, the pricing adjustments will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of

117

the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (as published and maintained by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association), which shall include a customary review report from a third party, together with a related pricing certificate, and in a form to be agreed between the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Agents (each acting reasonably) (collectively, the “ESG Certificate”). Each applicable Sustainability-Linked Adjustment shall apply only until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place upon the earlier of (x) the Borrower’s delivery of a subsequent ESG Certificate or (y) the date by which such ESG Certificate is required to have been delivered by the ESG Amendment. Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification agreed to by the Co-Sustainability Agents, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Commitment Fee Rate, Letter of Credit Fee or relevant Applicable Rate to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall become effective on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such modification 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 Revolving Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such modification from Lenders comprising the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility.

(b) The Co-Sustainability Agents will (i) assist the Borrower in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrower in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment.

SECTION 5.09 Insurance. Holdings will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, such public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self-insurance which Holdings believes (in the good faith judgment of management of Holdings) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as Holdings believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of Holdings) are reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from any Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance carried, with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings will maintain or cause to be maintained replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstance by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, and (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in from and substance to Collateral Agent, that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder.

SECTION 5.14 Further Assurances.

(a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required under any applicable law and that the Administrative Agents or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied at all times, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by Holdings (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary) therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of Holdings’ or its Restricted Subsidiary’s (as applicable) investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (x) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time, (y) a return on any Investment by Holdings (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary) in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value at the date of such designation of Holdings or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary, and (z) the formation or acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of Section 5.13.

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 5.21 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.01, any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agents in the following order:

155

second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Section 2.17 and not specifically referred to in clauses third and fourth below, other than Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Swap Obligations), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, and Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and counterparties referred to in the definitions of “Secured Swap Obligations” and “Secured Cash Management Obligations” that are parties thereto in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

last, the balance, if any, after the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, as may otherwise be required by any Intercreditor Agreement and, thereafter, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Requirements of Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.03 Right to Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, but subject to Sections 7.03(b) and (c), for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default under the Financial Covenants has occurred, Holdings may on one or more occasions designate any portion of the Net Proceeds from any sale of Qualified Equity Interests of Holdings or of any cash contribution to the capital of Holdings (which shall be in the form of common equity, Qualified Equity Interests or subordinated debt on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent) (or from any other contribution to capital or sale or issuance of any other Equity Interests on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent) (the “Cure Amount”) as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that:

(i) such amounts to be designated are actually received by Holdings (i) on or after the first Business Day of the applicable fiscal quarter and (ii) on or prior to the tenth (10th) day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”);

(ii) such amounts to be designated do not exceed the maximum aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenants as of such date; provided that if there is an Event of Default under both of the Financial Covenants, such amounts to be designated do not exceed the maximum aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under both of the Financial Covenants as of such date; and

(iii) the Borrower will have provided notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent on the date such amounts are designated as a “Cure Amount” (it being understood that to the extent such notice is

156

provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such Net Proceeds that is designated as the Cure Amount may be lower than specified in such notice to the extent that the amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenants is less than the full amount of such originally designated amount).

The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for one fiscal quarter will be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 7.03(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any baskets or financial ratios other than as applicable to the Financial Covenants (and may not be included for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article VI) and may not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness) or increase in cash with respect to the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was received other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, (x) upon designation of the Cure Amount by Holdings in an amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenants, the Financial Covenants will be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the Financial Covenants and any Event of Default under the Financial Covenants (and any other Default as a result thereof) will be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, (y) from and after the date that the Borrower delivers a written notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent that it intends to exercise its cure right under this Section 7.03 (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”) neither the Revolving Administrative Agent nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under any Loan Document on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default under the Financial Covenants until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been designated and (z) no Lender or L/C Issuer shall be required to (but in its sole discretion may) make any Revolving Loan or make a L/C Credit Extension from and after such time as the Revolving Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

(b) In each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be no more than two (2) fiscal quarters in which the cure right set forth in Section 7.03(a) is exercised.

(c) There shall be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in which the cure rights set forth in Section 7.03(a) are exercised during the term of the Facilities.

Article VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS

SECTION 8.01 General Provisions.

Each of the Lenders (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential holders of Secured Swap Obligations and potential holders of Secured Cash Management Obligations) and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints (x) PNC Bank to serve as Revolving Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and (y) Xxxxx Fargo Bank to serve as Term Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute, deliver and administer the Loan Documents and to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and none of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

Each Person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

157

The Administrative Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agents shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Applicable Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that no Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose such Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Administrative Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). No Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to it by Holdings, the Borrower, a Lender and no Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the existence, value, sufficiency or collectability of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to an Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agents shall not be responsible or liable to the Lenders or other Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agents shall not have any liability arising from any confirmation or determination of (x) the Effective Yield or (y) the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement.

Each Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer or Financial Officer of such Person). Each Administrative Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Applicable Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any

158

subagents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Each Lender acknowledges that Eligible Assignees hereunder may be Affiliated Lenders and that Affiliated Lenders may purchase (including pursuant to privately negotiated open-market transactions with one or more Lenders that are not made available for participation to all Lenders or all Lenders of a particular Class) Term Loans hereunder from Lenders from time to time, subject to the limitations set forth herein. Each Lender agrees that the Term Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into whether any Affiliated Lender intends to acquire or has acquired any Term Loan or as to whether any Lender is at any time an Affiliated Lender and that, unless the Term Administrative Agent shall have received, pursuant to the covenants of such Lender set forth herein or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender shall have acquired any Term Loan hereunder, prior written notice from any Lender that such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, the Term Administrative Agent may deal with such Lender (including for purposes of determining the consent, approval, vote or other similar action of the Lenders or the Lenders of any Class), and shall not incur any liability for so doing, as if such Lender were not an Affiliated Lender.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, any Administrative Agent may resign upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications above (the earlier of the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent is replaced and the end of such 30 day period, the “Resignation Effective Date”). If no such successor shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

If a Person serving as an Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or is an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Applicable Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was

159

acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to under clause (1) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Xxxxxx may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Borrower.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agents or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by an Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and an Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article, Section 9.15 and Section 9.17.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Swap Agreement or Cash Management Services the obligations under or in respect of which constitute Secured Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Swap Agreement or a provider of such Cash Management Services shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent, respectively, and to have agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

Each of the Lenders and other Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent to, and the Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (a) release and terminate, or to confirm or evidence any automatic release and termination of, any Guarantees and Liens created under the Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.15 or in any other Security Document and (b) subordinate, at the request of the Borrower, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(iv).

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, administration, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agents (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by

160

declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether an 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, interest, fees and other amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agents (including any claim under Section 2.12, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03) 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, receiver and manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, provisional liquidator, sequestrator, administrator, controller, managing controller or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Applicable Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Applicable Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Applicable Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of any Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Co-Documentation Agent or any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement or elsewhere herein as a Lead Arranger, a Joint Bookrunner or a Co-Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, as fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Applicable Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify the Applicable Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Applicable Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Applicable Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Applicable Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate documentation was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or because of such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), but in each case only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Applicable Administrative Agent for such amounts and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise against any amount due the Applicable Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive resignation or replacement of the Applicable Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this paragraph, “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Loan Lender.

Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement.

161

All provisions of this Section 8.01 applicable to the Administrative Agents shall apply to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the benefits and indemnities applicable to the Administrative Agents under this Agreement.

Any reference in this Agreement to Xxxxx stated to be in favor of the Collateral Agent shall be construed (where applicable) so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the Collateral Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 8.02 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Applicable Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party such Lender or L/C Issuer (any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Applicable Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Applicable Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Applicable Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Applicable Administrative Agent, and such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Applicable Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Applicable Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

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

(ii) such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02(b).

(c) Each Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under any

162

Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Applicable Administrative Agent to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Applicable Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Applicable Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or L/C Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Applicable Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or L/C Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Applicable Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Applicable Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, (ii) the Applicable Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Applicable Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer and (iv) the Applicable Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Applicable Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or L/C Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or L/C Issuer and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Applicable Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Applicable Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.02 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Secured Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Secured Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Applicable Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (e) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Applicable Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

163

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Applicable Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No waiver or consent in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further waiver or consent in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 9.02(b)(i) through (xi) below, Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(g), neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agents (to the extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of any Administrative Agent under this Agreement, such Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Applicable Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, and with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, financial ratio or covenant, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Advance (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, financial covenant or ratio, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any reductions of interest as a result of the reduction of the SOFR Adjustment in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof), or reduce any fees or premium payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of any ratio used in the calculation of the interest rate or fees therein or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction of interest, fees or premium), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c);

(iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, financial covenant or ratio, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a postponement of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or

165

postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iv) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “Required Term Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) (A) release all or substantially all (i) the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or (ii) the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents), or (B) (i) subordinate any of the Secured Obligations in right of payment or (ii) subordinate any of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), in each case, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents;

(vi) waive, amend or modify Section 7.02 in a manner that would by its terms alter the application of proceeds, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(vii) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the waiver of any conditions set forth in Section 4.02 as to any Credit Extension under one or more Revolving Facilities) which directly affects Lenders under one or more Facility and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facilities, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Facility or Facilities (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility), and if with respect to any Revolving Facility, the Swingline Loan Lender and the relevant L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (vii) shall not require the consent of the Required Lenders, Required Term Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or any other Lenders other than the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility or Facilities;

(viii) amend, waive or otherwise modify the Financial Covenants or any definition related thereto (solely in respect of the use of such defined terms in the Financial Covenants) or waive any Default or Event of Default resulting from a failure to perform or observe the Financial Covenants) without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities with respect to Revolving Commitments (such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility); provided, however, that the amendments, waivers and other modifications described in this clause (viii) shall not require the consent of the Required Lenders, Required Term Lenders or any other Lenders other than the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities;

(ix) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Administrative Agent, without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent;

(x) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuers, without the prior written consent of each L/C Issuer directly and adversely affected thereby; and

(xi) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Loan Lender, without the prior written consent of the Swingline Loan Lender.

(i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment with only the consent of the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent to establish any Incremental Facility in accordance with Section 2.20;

166

(ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to Refinancing Amendment with only the consent of the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Additional Lender and each Lender that is providing a portion of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness being incurred in connection with such Refinancing Amendment to establish any Class of Other Loans consisting of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.21;

(iii) the Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Permitted Amendment with only the consent of the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent and each Accepting Lender to establish any Class of Other Loans in accordance with Section 2.24;

(vi) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agents and Holdings or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Administrative Agents, in each case required to create in favor of the Administrative Agents any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative Agents shall have been advised by their counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with Holdings hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agents promptly upon such request);

(vii) the Loan Documents and any guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agents and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agents at the request of Holdings without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel or (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defect; and

(viii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (i) may be amended to implement an ESG Amendment pursuant to Section 2.25 without the prior written consent of any Lender or L/C Issuer (other than as described in Section 2.25) and (ii) may, without the consent of any Lender or L/C Issuer, be amended or modified in order to reduce the SOFR Adjustment in accordance with the terms of the proviso to the definition of “SOFR Adjustment.”

(d) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all directly and adversely affected Lenders (or all directly and adversely affected Lenders of a Class), if the consent of the Required Lenders (or a Required Facility Lenders of the applicable Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained

167

as described in paragraph (d) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of the termination date or (y) require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) in the case of clause (y) above, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.12(d)) payable to it hereunder from the Borrower or Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) in the case of clause (y) above, unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary the Loans and Commitments of any Lender that is at the time (i) an Affiliated Lender or (ii) a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (other than in accordance with Section 9.02(b)(v)).

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Applicable Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Applicable Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Applicable Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Applicable Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Applicable Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Secured Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Secured Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary, (a) technical modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of Holdings and the Applicable Administrative Agent (and no other Person) to the extent necessary (i) to integrate any Incremental Facilities, Other Revolving Loans, or Other Term Loans, (ii) to integrate or make administrative modifications with respect to borrowings, (iii) to integrate terms or conditions from any Incremental Facility Amendment, Loan Modification Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or the documents governing Ratio Indebtedness or Incremental Equivalent Debt in accordance with Section 2.20(e), Section 6.01(a)(xix) or Section 6.01(a)(xxiii), respectively, and (iv) any provision of any Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent (i) to cure any obvious error or any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency of a technical nature or (ii) to better implement the intentions of this Agreement, so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Applicable Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; and (b) without the consent of any Lender, the Loan Parties and the Applicable Administrative Agent or any collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into (x) any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new

168

agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect, any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document or (y) any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in each case with the holders of Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement to be secured by the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lenders, (i) increase the interest rates (including any interest rate margins or interest rate floors), fees and other amounts payable to any Class or Classes of Lenders hereunder, (ii) increase, expand and/or extend the call protection provisions and any “most favored nation” provisions benefiting any Class or Classes of Lenders hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.12(d) and Section 2.20(e)(iii)) and/or (iii) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Loan Document in a manner more favorable to the then-existing Lenders or Class or Classes of Lenders, in each case in connection with the issuance or incurrence of any Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness are more favorable to the lenders thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to other Loans or Commitments then existing hereunder, and it is intended that one or more then-existing Classes of Loans or Commitments under this Agreement share in the benefit of such more favorable terms in order to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the incurrence of such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to, or under, any Loan Document, any Lender (other than any Revolving Lender or any Lender that is a Regulated Bank) (or any Affiliate of any such Lender (provided that for purposes of this clause (h), Affiliates shall not include Persons that are subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Lender and such Person and such Person is managed having independent fiduciary duties to the investors or other equityholders of such Person) that, as a result of its (or its Affiliates’) interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to any of the Loans or Commitments or with respect to any other tranche, class or series of Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred or issued at such time of determination (including commitments with respect to any revolving credit facility) issued by the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties (each such item of Indebtedness, including the Loan and Commitments, “Specified Indebtedness”) (each such Lender, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender (alone or together with its Affiliates) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to any Specified Indebtedness and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount of such contract in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes a Loan Party or any instrument issued or guaranteed by a Loan Party shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to such Specified Indebtedness, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5.0% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the relevant Specified Indebtedness if such Lender or its Affiliates is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the relevant Specified Indebtedness is a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by IHS Markit Ltd, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the relevant Specified Indebtedness would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such

169

derivative transaction or (z) the Borrower or any Loan Parties (or any of their successors) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transaction and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to any Specified Indebtedness if such transactions offer the Lender or its Affiliates protection against a decline in the value of such Specified Indebtedness, or in the credit quality of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, in each case, other than as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5.0% of the components of such index. In connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Lender (other than any Revolving Lender and any Lender that is a Regulated Bank) will be deemed to have represented to the Borrower and the Administrative Agents that it does not constitute a Net Short Lender, in each case, unless such Lender shall have notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agents prior to the requested response date with respect to such amendment, modification or waiver that it constitutes a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agents shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). In no event shall the Administrative Agents be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is a Net Short Lender.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay, if the Closing Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Agent Parties and their respective Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and to the extent reasonably determined by an Administrative Agent to be necessary one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrower’s consent (and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where each party affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one other firm of counsel for such affected party in each applicable jurisdiction), in each case for the Agent Parties in connection with the structuring, arrangement or syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery or administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by any Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Loan Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents, the Joint Bookrunners and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that such counsel shall be limited to one primary counsel for each Administrative Agent, each Joint Bookrunner, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and the Swingline Loan Lender, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where each party affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one other firm of counsel for such affected party in each applicable jurisdiction).

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent Party, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to Environmental Liabilities, (collectively, the “Losses”) of any kind or nature, and subject to the limitations set forth below, with respect to legal fees and expenses, and the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the Indemnified Persons becomes subject, in the case of any such Losses and related expenses, to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, or in connection with (i) the structuring, arrangement or syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery or administration of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom of the use of proceeds provided hereunder (including, without limitation, any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) relating to any of the foregoing) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceeding was brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, Affiliates or creditors or any other third person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person

170

promptly for any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding to, or defending any of the foregoing (limited, in the case of each Indemnified Person’s counsel expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of counsel in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Persons taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where each Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one other firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person in each applicable jurisdiction)) and the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigation, responding to, or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) in the case of any Proceeding initiated by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiaries against any Indemnified Person, a material breach of the obligations under the Loan Documents of such Indemnified Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any Proceeding that does not arise from any act or omission by Holdings, the Borrower or any Related Party and that is brought by any Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person; provided that the Agent Parties, to the extent fulfilling their respective roles as an agent or arranger hereunder and in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in any of clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso apply to such Person at such time.

(c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Applicable Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting Holdings’ or the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Applicable Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Applicable Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, or permit any of their Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet, the Platform or any other electronic platform or messaging service), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnified Person or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days (x) after written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person shall promptly refund or return an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as provided in Section 6.03(f), the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

171

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. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Applicable Administrative Agent, the other Agent Parties and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (iv) and paragraph (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) by a Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, (2) by a Lender to an Approved Fund or (3) if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, if the Borrower has not given the Applicable Administrative Agent written notice of its objection to such assignment within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment;

(B) the Applicable Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that (i) no consent of the Term Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan by a Term Lender to any other Term Lender, an Affiliate of any Term Lender or an Approved Fund and (ii) no consent of the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitments by a Revolving Lender to any other Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Loan Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no consent of any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Loan Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of any Term Loan.

(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 Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), unless the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed):

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together (unless waived by the Applicable Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19, Section 2.24 or Section 9.02(d) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; provided, further, that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments of Term Loans by a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender or to or by any Joint Bookrunner or Affiliate thereof in connection with the primary syndication thereof or pursuant to arrangements directly related to such primary syndication contemplated as of the Closing Date: and

172

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent any tax documentation required by Section 2.17 and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (v) of this paragraph (b), 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 (subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Xxxxxx’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section 9.04(c)(i).

(iv) The Applicable Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Holdings and the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and related interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrower and, solely with respect to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Applicable Administrative Agent be responsible for or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, monitor or inquire into, or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders (or an affiliate of a Disqualified Lender), nor, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall the Applicable Administrative Agent (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender, (y) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to the aggregate amount of the Loans or Incremental Facilities held by Disqualified Lenders (or affiliates of Disqualified Lenders) or (z) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax documentation required by Section 2.17 (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this paragraph (b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this paragraph (b), the Applicable 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 paragraph (b).

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings, the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Xxxxxx’s

173

rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); 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) Holdings, the Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to clause (ii) below, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the obligations and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax documentation required by Section 2.17(f) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such greater entitlement results from a Change in Law after the date on which the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and related interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Administrative Agent (in its capacity as an Administrative Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided, further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

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

174

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. Subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the obligations and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax documentation required by Section 2.17(f) shall be provided solely to the Granting Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. No SPV shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such greater entitlement result from a Change in Law after the date on which the SPV acquired the applicable grant.

(g) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, and its related rights and obligations under this Agreement, to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis consistent with the Dutch Auction Procedures set forth on Schedule 2.11 or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Term Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Term Administrative Agent, other than information that has been made available by the Term Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II);

(2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02) that requires the consent, approval or waiver of the Required Lenders, or, subject to Section 9.02(f), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) as compared to other Lenders in a disproportionately adverse manner, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter (and such Affiliated Lenders shall be disregarded in the determination of any Required Lender vote); and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that (i) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall deprive any

175

Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder, in each case without the consent of such Affiliated Lender and (ii) each Affiliated Lender will be entitled to vote its interests in any Loan to the extent that any plan of reorganization or other arrangement with respect to which the relevant vote is sought proposes to treat the interest of such Affiliated Lender in such Loan in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Loans held by other Lenders;

(3) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent and the Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter;

(4) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25.0% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all such Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; and

(5) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Xxxxxx’s Loans and any Affiliated Lender selling its Loans shall execute and deliver to the Term Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); which assignment agreement shall clearly identify such Affiliated Lender as an Affiliated Lender; provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Term Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Term Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Term Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Term Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

Each Additional Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall meet the requirements and be subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 9.04(g) to the same extent as if the portion of any Incremental Facility or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness provided or proposed to be provided by it were being assigned to it pursuant to this Section 9.04.

(h) In the event of any assignment without the Borrower’s consent or deemed consent or participation by a Lender (A) to any Disqualified Lender or (B) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 9.04 but has not been obtained (or deemed obtained), to any other Person, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitments of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Commitments, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and

176

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information”

179

means all information received from Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower.

SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.15 Release of Liens and Guarantees. A Subsidiary Loan Party (other than the Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any single transaction or related series of transactions permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Loan Party (including pursuant to a merger with a Subsidiary that is

180

not a Loan Party, becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary); provided that no Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and no security interest or Lien on the Collateral of or Equity Interest in such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released if such Subsidiary Loan Party becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary” unless such Subsidiary Loan Party becomes a non-wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction where such Subsidiary Loan Party becomes a bona fide joint venture and the other Person obtaining the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary Loan Party is not an Affiliate of the Loan Parties (other than as a result of such joint venture). (i) Upon any sale as part of or in connection with a Disposition by any Loan Party (other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (ii) if any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agents under any Loan Documents is or becomes an Excluded Asset or (iii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Lien or security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such Guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section or in connection with any subordination of its interest as required by Section 8.01, the Administrative Agents shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agents. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(iv) to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents.

(e) Each of the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.01 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof.

SECTION 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an 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:

SECTION 9.20 Other Agents and Arrangers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of or otherwise in this Agreement as a “lead arranger,” “joint bookrunner,” “co-documentation agent” or similar term shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such (to the extent such Person is a Lender).

SECTION 9.21 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap 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 Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:
