Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (and the financial definitions used therein) and compliance with each covenant set forth herein (including as determined by any reference to a definition used in such covenant (e.g., Receivables Facilities, Capitalized Lease Obligations, etc.)) shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio or any financial definition used therein or any covenant used herein (or definition used therein), in each case, to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the Effective Date on the operation thereof (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio or any financial definition used therein or any covenant used herein (or definition used therein), in each case, for such purpose), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend (without the payment of any amendment or similar fees to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the definitions used therein or any covenant used herein (or definition used therein), in each case, (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such changes in GAAP; provided, that all determinations made pursuant to the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio or any financial definition used therein or any covenant used herein (or definition used therein), in each case, shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as applied and in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated

Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio or such financial definition or any covenant used herein (or definition used therein) is amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (a) above or in the definition of “Capitalized Lease,”, only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that such leases were then in existence) that would constitute Capital Leases in conformity with GAAP as in effect prior to giving effect to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842)” shall be considered Capitalized Leases hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, prepared or available, as applicable, in accordance therewith; provided, that all financial statements required to be provided hereunder may, at the option of the Borrower, be prepared in accordance with GAAP without giving effect to the foregoing treatment of Capitalized Leases.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 5.13, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, and/or 6.07 in the event that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Lien, Restricted Payment, fundamental change, disposition, restrictive agreement, or Affiliate transaction, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of Sections 6.01 (other than Sections 6.01(b)(i) or (b)(xxiv) (in each case, without limiting the definition of “Maximum Incremental Amount”)), 6.02 (other than clauses (aa) or (cc) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (in each case, without limiting the definition of “Maximum Incremental Amount” and, in the case of clause (cc) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, the exception set forth in this parenthetical shall not apply to Liens securing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred in reliance on Sections 6.01(a)(i) or 6.01(b)(xiii) and/or any Permitted Refinancing thereof)), 5.13, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, and/or 6.07, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) under one or more clauses of each such Section; provided, that, unless the Borrower elects otherwise in writing:

(i) if, at any time on the date of or following the initial incurrence of any portion of any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Section 6.01 (other than Section 6.01(b)(i) or (b)(xxiv); it being understood and agreed that this clause (i) shall apply to the Maximum Incremental Amount) (such portion of such Indebtedness, the “Subject Indebtedness”), the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as applicable, is less than or equal to the applicable level set forth in Section 6.01(a) or the Interest Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to the applicable level set forth in Section 6.01(a), such Subject Indebtedness shall automatically be reclassified (with retroactive effect) as having been incurred under the applicable provisions of Section 6.01(a) or clause (e) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Amount”, as applicable (subject to any other applicable provision of Section 6.01(a) or clause (e) of the Maximum Incremental Amount, as applicable, and any associated Lien will be deemed to have been permitted under clauses (aa) or (cc), as applicable, of the definition of “Permitted Lien” upon any such reclassification;

(ii) if, on the date of or following the making of any Investment other than in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xix)(A), the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than the applicable level set forth in Section 6.03(b)(xix)(A) at any time, such Investment (or the relevant portion thereof) shall automatically be reclassified (with retroactive effect) as having been made in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xix)(A);

(iii) if, on the date of or following the making of any Restricted Dividend Payment other than in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xix)(B), the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than the applicable level set forth in Section 6.03(b)(xix)(B) at any time, such Restricted Dividend Payment (or the relevant portion thereof) shall automatically be reclassified (with retroactive effect) as having been made in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xix)(B); and

(iv) if, on the date of or following the making of any Restricted Debt Payment other than in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xviii), the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than

the applicable level set forth in Section 6.03(b)(xviii) at any time, such Restricted Debt Payment (or the relevant portion thereof) shall automatically be reclassified (with retroactive effect) as having been made in reliance on Section 6.03(b)(xviii).

(c) It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, burdensome agreement, Investment, disposition and/or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, restrictive agreement, Investment, disposition and/or Affiliate transaction under Sections 5.13, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, and/or 6.07, respectively, and may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof, but the Borrower will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in one such category (or combination thereof).

Section 1.03. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., an “Initial Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “SOFR Initial Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Credit Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “SOFR Revolving Credit Borrowing”).

Section 1.04. Rounding. The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

Section 1.05. References to Agreements and Laws. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) all references to documents, instruments and other agreements (including the Loan Documents and organizational documents) shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document and (b) references to any law, statute, rule or regulation shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such law.

Section 1.06. Times of Day and Effectuation of Transactions. Unless otherwise specified, (a) all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable) and (b) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 1.07. Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, that with respect to any payment of interest on or principal of SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, XXXXX Loans or XXXXX Loans, if such extension would cause any such payment to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 1.08. Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Commitment Increase, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Replacement Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Facility or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders,

such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

Section 1.09. Exchange Rate; Currency Equivalents Generally. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the US Dollar Equivalent amounts of Loans and other Obligations denominated in an Alternate Currency. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between an Alternate Currency and Dollars until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except as provided above in this Section 1.09 and except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrower hereunder or calculating compliance with a financial ratio hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than US Dollars) for purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents on any date of determination shall be such US Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 2.01, 2.25, 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 (including any Permitted Investment) of this Agreement with respect to any amount of Indebtedness, obligations or Investment (or Restricted Payment) denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred or made; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.09 shall otherwise apply to such Article and such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment (not previously incurred or made on any date) may be incurred or made under such Article and such Sections.

Section 1.10. Approved Alternate L/C Currencies. (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in an Approved Alternate L/C Currency (subject to the approval of the relevant Issuing Bank); provided, that such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars. Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Issuing Bank thereof. The relevant Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m., 10 Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency. Any failure by the relevant Issuing Bank to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by the relevant Issuing Bank to permit Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the relevant Issuing Bank consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Approved Alternate L/C Currency hereunder for the purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank. If the relevant Issuing Bank does not consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

Section 1.11. Certain Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.11(e), all financial ratios and tests (including the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Net Income and EBITDA (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating Excess Cash Flow)) contained in this Agreement that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which any Subject Transaction occurs shall be calculated with respect to such Test Period and such Subject Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (i) any Subject Transaction has occurred or (ii) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the

Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any joint venture since the beginning of such Test Period has consummated any Subject Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.11, when calculating any ratio or test for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Percentage” and (ii) the financial covenant under Section 6.10 (other than for the purposes of determining pro forma compliance with such financial covenant), any Subject Transaction that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(c) For purposes of this Section 1.11, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change or designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.10, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments of the type described in clause (a)(xi) and/or clause (b) of the definition of “EBITDA”.

(d) For purposes of determining whether the incurrence, issuance or making of any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Capital Stock, Restricted Payment, Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change or designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.10 is permitted hereunder, EBITDA and/or Total Assets shall be determined as of the most recently ended Test Period at the time such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Capital Stock, Restricted Payment, Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change or designation is incurred, issued or made, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in EBITDA and/or Total Assets occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Capital Stock, Restricted Payment, Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change or designation is incurred, issued or made.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Loan Document, at the Borrower’s option, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and any cap expressed as a percentage of EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, Excess Cash Flow or Total Assets (or any analogous metric) shall be determined and the accuracy of any representation and/or warranty and any default or Event of Default “blocker” may be tested, in each case, at the election of the Borrower:

(i) with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition only (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith and/or any related designation of any subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary), on (x) the date of the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment, (y) in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code or Takeover and Mergers (or any comparable Requirement of Law) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of the target of an acquisition (or equivalent notice under comparable Requirements of Law) is made or (z) the date of the consummation of such acquisition or Investment,

(ii) in the case of any Restricted Dividend Payment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Dividend Payment (so long as such Restricted Dividend Payment is actually made within 90 days following the date of declaration) or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment,

(iii) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment and/or

(iv) in the case in the case of any fundamental change or disposition (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated or incurred in connection therewith and/or any related designation of any subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect thereto, (y) in connection with a disposition to which the United Kingdom City Code or Takeover and Mergers (or any comparable Requirement of Law) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of the target (or equivalent notice under comparable Requirements of Law) is made or (z) the consummation of such fundamental change or disposition.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has elected to determine the permissibility of any transaction pursuant to Sections 1.11(e)(i)(x) or (y), Section 1.11(e)(ii)(x), Section 1.11(e)(iii)(x) or Section 1.11(e)(iv)(x) or (y) to the extent that the definitive documents in respect thereof have been executed, the Restricted Payment has been declared or notice with respect to the relevant Restricted Debt Payment has been delivered, as applicable, for purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including Section 6.10, any Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Leverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Net Income and/or EBITDA) after the date on which such definitive documents were executed, such Restricted Payment was declared or delivery of notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment has been delivered and until the date on which the relevant transaction is consummated, such definitive documents have terminated or expired or the relevant declaration or notice has been revoked, as applicable, such calculation shall give effect, on a Pro Forma Basis, to any other Subject Transaction that the Borrower has elected to treat in accordance with Sections 1.11(e)(i)(x) or (y), Section 1.11(e)(ii)(x), Section 1.11(e)(iii)(x) and/or Section 1.11(e)(iv)(x) or (y), as applicable; it being understood that, in such event, any calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio shall, with respect to any Indebtedness relating to any such transaction that has not yet been incurred, assume the indicative interest rate margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, such other interest rate as the Borrower may determine in good faith.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans or other revolving indebtedness) or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio) (any such amount, including any amount expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Net Income and/or EBITDA and including, in all cases, the Restricted Payment Applicable Amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the substantially concurrent calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount, except that pro forma effect shall be given to any increase or decrease in EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income and/or any relevant other metric resulting from the entire transaction and thereafter, the incurrence of any such amount under the Fixed Amount shall be included in the calculation of future Incurrence-Based Amounts to the extent such amount incurred under the Fixed Amount is then outstanding.

(h) For purposes of the calculation of any Incurrence-Based Amount used in determining the availability of Credit Increases, Incremental Equivalent Debt or Indebtedness incurred or issued under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b)(xiii), cash proceeds of such Indebtedness will not be netted in determining Consolidated Indebtedness as used therein.

(i) In connection with the implementation or assumption of any revolving commitment and/or any delayed draw commitment in reliance on any Incurrence-Based Amount (other than any Incremental Revolving Facility, which shall instead be subject to the provisions of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Amount”), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Specified Commitment Notice”), to either (a) treat all or any portion of such revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment as having been fully drawn on the date of implementation or assumption (such commitment (or portion thereof), a “Specified Commitment”), in which case (i) the Borrower shall not be required to comply with any financial ratio or test in connection with any drawing thereunder after the date of incurrence or assumption and (ii) other than for purposes of (A) the Applicable Percentage, (B) the Commitment Fee Rate, (C) the ECF Percentage, (D) the Required Net Proceeds Percentage and/or (E) actual compliance with Section 6.10, the amount of such Specified Commitment shall be deemed to have been an actual incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder on the date of implementation or assumption for purposes of calculating any Incurrence-Based Amount or (b) test the permissibility of all or any portion of any drawing under such revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment on the date of such drawing (if any), in which case, such revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment (or portion thereof) shall only be treated as drawn for purposes of any Incurrence-Based Amount to the extent of any actual drawing thereunder that is outstanding at the applicable time of determination. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower may, at any time in its sole discretion, (x) deliver a Specified Commitment Notice with respect to any revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment and/or (y) withdraw any Specified Commitment Notice with respect to all or any portion of any revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment and instead elect to treat such revolving commitment and/or delayed draw commitment in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(j) With respect to any pro forma calculation that is required to be made in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment in respect of which financial statements for the applicable target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower shall make the relevant calculation on the basis of the relevant available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other commercially reasonable basis as the Borrower may elect.

Section 1.12. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 1.12), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.12 and/or any component definition used herein

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

(e) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a SOFR Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to such SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 1.12, any SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan on such day.

(f) The interest rate on a Loan denominated in US Dollar may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, this Section 1.12 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Without limiting the express terms hereof, he Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar

to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) by any such information source or service. It is understood and agreed that this Section 1.12(f) shall not impair or otherwise limit the express provisions of this Agreement.

Section 1.13. Canadian Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a) Canadian Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 1.13), if a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event and its related Canadian Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Canadian Benchmark, then (i) if a Canadian Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Canadian Benchmark Replacement” for such Canadian Benchmark Replacement Date, such Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace such Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Canadian Benchmark setting and subsequent Canadian Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) if a Canadian Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Canadian Benchmark Replacement” for such Canadian Benchmark Replacement Date, such Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace such Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Canadian Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Canadian Benchmark Replacement from Revolving Credit Lenders comprising the Required Revolving Lenders.

(b) Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Canadian Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Canadian Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except in each case as expressly provided in this Section 1.13 or any component definition used herein.

(c) Notices; Standard for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Canadian Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Canadian Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Canadian Benchmark pursuant to Section 1.13(d) and (y) the commencement of any Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.13 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be

made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.13 and/or any component definition used herein

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

(e) Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans, which are of the Type that have a rate of interest determined by reference to the then-current Canadian Benchmark, to be made, converted or continued during any Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Furthermore, if any XXXXX Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Adjusted Term XXXXX applicable to such XXXXX Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 1.13, any XXXXX Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on such day.

Section 1.14. Certain Matters.

(a) It is understood and agreed that (i) with respect to any Default or Event of Default, the words “exists,” “is continuing” or any similar expression with respect thereto shall mean that the Default or Event of Default has occurred and has not yet been cured or waived; (ii) if any Default or Event of Default occurs due to (A) the failure by the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary to take any action by a specified time, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured at the time, if any, that the applicable Person takes such action or (B) the taking of any action by the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be cured on the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which such action would be permitted at such time to be taken under this Agreement and (2) the date on which such action is unwound or modified to the extent necessary so that the modified action is permitted by this Agreement or the other relevant Loan Document; and (iii) if any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently cured (a “Cured Default”), any other Default or Event of Default resulting from the making or deemed making of any representation or warranty by any Loan Party or the taking of any action by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, in each case which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured Default not occurred, shall be deemed to be cured automatically upon, and simultaneously with, the cure of the Cured Default; provided that, in the case of clauses (ii)(B) and (iii) above, such deemed cure shall only apply to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Borrower was not aware of the existence of (x) in the case of clause (ii)(B), any such Default or Event of Default so deemed to be cured at the time of the taking of the relevant

action and (y) in the case of clause (iii), the Cured Default that caused the relevant subsequent Default or Event of Default to arise at the time of the making or deemed making of the relevant representation or warranty or the taking of the relevant action.

(b) It is understood that any time period set forth in this Agreement to cure any Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent the relevant Default or Event of Default is the subject of litigation.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness permitted under any provision of Section 6.01 to refinance Indebtedness originally incurred under the same provision of Section 6.01 while the Indebtedness being refinanced remains outstanding so long as the proceeds of the applicable refinancing Indebtedness are promptly deposited with the trustee or other applicable representative of the holders of the Indebtedness being refinanced, which proceeds will be applied to satisfy and discharge the Indebtedness being refinanced in accordance with the documentation governing such Indebtedness.

(d) Any determination of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Indebtedness shall be made by the Borrower in good faith at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Loan Document and/or in Exhibits E or F attached hereto, any intercreditor agreement in the form of Exhibits H-1 or H-2 attached hereto (without any material change thereto) shall be deemed to have become effective upon the execution of such intercreditor agreement by (i) the relevant Loan Parties and (ii) the holders of the Indebtedness (or a representative therefor) that is required to be (or the Liens securing which are required to be) subject thereto, and each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits hereof, hereby acknowledges that any such intercreditor agreement so executed shall constitute an Intercreditor Agreement in effect for all purposes under the Loan Documents until the termination thereof in accordance with its terms.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, if, after delivery of any Pricing Certificate, it is subsequently determined that the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate is inaccurate for any reason and the result of such inaccuracy is that the Lenders received any amount of interest or any fee for any relevant period based on an Applicable Percentage or payment of principal based on the Required Net Proceeds Percentage or ECF Percentage that is greater than or less than the amount that would have applied if the First Lien Leverage Ratio set forth in such Pricing Certificate had been accurately reported, then, for all purposes under this Agreement, (i) in the case of the Applicable Percentage, the Applicable Percentage for each day during the relevant period shall be revised to be based upon the accurately determined Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and, in such event, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable interest payment shall be due and payable within five Business Days following the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy and (ii) in the case of the Required Net Proceeds Percentage or the ECF Percentage, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable principal payment shall be due and payable within five Business Days following the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy. In the event that (A) any inaccuracy in the calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio resulted in a shortfall in the amount of any required interest or principal payment and (B) such inaccuracy resulted from a good faith mistake on the part of the Borrower in the preparation of such calculation, no Default or Event of Default shall arise under this Agreement with respect thereto unless the relevant amount has not been paid within the period described in the preceding sentence.

(h) It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that the carve-outs from the provisions of Article VI may include items or activities that are not restricted by the relevant provision and the inclusion of such item or activity shall not be construed to expand the scope of Article VI.

(i) With respect to determination of the permissibility of any transaction by Holdings, the Borrower and/or any subsidiary under this Agreement, (i) the delivery by the Borrower of a third party valuation report from (A) a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal, investment banking or consulting firm or (B) another firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, shall be conclusive with respect to the value of the assets covered thereby and (ii) any determination of whether an action is taken “in the ordinary course of business” or “in a manner consistent with past practice” (or, in either case, any similar expression) shall be made by the Borrower in good faith.

Section 1.15. Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term or provision of this Agreement (excluding the Exhibits hereto) and any term or provision of any Exhibit to this Agreement, the term or provision of this Agreement shall govern, and the Borrower shall be entitled to make such revisions to the relevant term or provision of the applicable Exhibit to ensure that such term or provision is consistent with the corresponding term or provision of this Agreement.

Section 1.16. Confidentiality, Privilege, Etc. Notwithstanding any obligation to provide information under any Loan Document or allow the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any third party to access or inspect the books and records of the Borrower or its subsidiaries or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, none of the Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries will be required to disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of, any document, information or other matter (a) that constitutes a non-financial trade secret or non-financial proprietary information of any Person, (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Representatives) is prohibited by applicable law, (c) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product, (d) in respect of which the Borrower and/or any of its subsidiaries owes confidentiality obligations to any Person (provided, that such confidentiality obligations were not entered into in contemplation of the requirements of the Loan Documents) and/or (e) that relates to any investigation by any Governmental Authority if (i) such information is identifiable to a particular individual and the Borrower determines in good faith that such information should remain confidential or (ii) the information requested is not factual in nature; provided, that in the event that such information has not been provided in reliance on clauses (c), (d) or (e) above, notice that information is being withheld on such basis must be provided to the Administrative Agent.

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 and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

Section 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(a) Each Initial Term Lender agrees severally, and not jointly, on the Effective Date, to make term loans to the Borrower (the “Initial Term Loans”) in US Dollars and in a like principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of a particular Class agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans of such Class to the Borrower in the Available Currency requested by the Borrower, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the termination of such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such

Class in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate Principal Amount at any time outstanding that will not, after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loans and the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). For the avoidance of doubt, all Revolving Loans made and other Revolving Credit Exposure incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility will be made or incurred, as applicable, by all Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if earlier, the date of the termination of the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof); thereafter, all Revolving Loans made and other Revolving Credit Exposure incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility will be made by the remaining Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (after giving effect to the termination of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(g) and subject to Section 2.23, the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than (i) the Minimum Applicable Borrowing Amount for such Loans or (ii) the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(g), 2.08 and 2.16, each Borrowing shall (i) be comprised entirely of (x) in the case of US Dollar-Denominated Loans, ABR Loans or SOFR Loans, (y) in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or XXXXX Loans (provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrowings in the form of XXXXX Loans will not be available to the Borrower until the Administrative Agent has provided notice to the Borrower that it is able to access Term XXXXX (which the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to do promptly upon becoming able to access Term XXXXX) and prior to such date, any request for, or conversion to, a XXXXX Borrowing shall be deemed to be a request for, or conversion to, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing) or (z) in the case of Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans, EURIBOR Loans or XXXXX Loans, in each case as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, XXXXX Loan or XXXXX Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than (x) ten SOFR Borrowings (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) outstanding hereunder at any time, (y) ten EURIBOR Borrowings (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) outstanding hereunder at any time and (z) five XXXXX Borrowings (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable sole discretion) outstanding hereunder at any time.

(c) Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(g) and, if applicable, Section 2.27, and subject to Sections 2.03 and 2.23, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to the applicable Payment Office of the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing at the time and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (x) for the first such day, the Overnight Rate and (y) for each day thereafter, (A) in the case of US Dollar-Denominated Loans, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for ABR Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing, (B) in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and (C) in the case of any other Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans, the rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans comprising such Borrowing made to the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and (x) the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease and (y) if the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the Loans comprising such SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, as applicable.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) If the relevant Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.25(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon) on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement as determined above (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.25(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (g); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, (A) if such L/C Disbursement is payable in US Dollars, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 2.06(a), (B) if such L/C Disbursement is payable in Canadian Dollars, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans of the relevant

Class pursuant to Section 2.06(b), and (C) if such L/C Disbursement is payable in any other Alternate Currency, a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) if such L/C Disbursement is payable in US Dollars, for the first such day, the Overnight Rate and for each day thereafter, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans of the relevant Class, and (B) if such L/C Disbursement is payable in any Alternate Currency, for the first such day, a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate and, for each day thereafter, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans denominated in the respective Alternate Currency of the relevant Class under the applicable clause of Section 2.06 (using, in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, the interest rate applicable to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing).

Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, pursuant to Section 2.02(g) or, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.26 or Section 2.27, in each case as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. 4 Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of a proposed Borrowing, (d) in the case of a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing and (e) in the case of a XXXXX Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic request shall be irrevocable, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) the relevant Class of such Borrowing and whether such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing, a XXXXX Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a XXXXX Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing (stated in the relevant Available Currency); and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or a XXXXX Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02; it being understood and agreed that in order to request a Borrowing pursuant this Section 2.03, the Borrower needs only have delivered a written Borrowing Request. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), if no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of US Dollar-Denominated Loans, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of 1 month’s duration. A Borrowing denominated in Sterling shall at all times be a XXXXX Borrowing (subject to the last sentence of the definition of “Daily Simple XXXXX”). A Borrowing denominated in Euro shall at all times be a EURIBOR Borrowing (subject to clause (b) of the definition of “EURIBOR Rate”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender, the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11, and (ii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the relevant Revolving Credit Maturity Date for any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Exposure), the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Class made by such Lender to the Borrower. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the applicable Swingline Lender, on the date upon which the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Lender terminates, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the Borrower by such Swingline Lender.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such

Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its permitted registered assigns in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. If any Lender loses the original copy of its promissory note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. The obligation of each Lender to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower shall survive the Termination Date.

Section 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, to each Revolving Credit Lender of such Class, through the Administrative Agent, on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year (commencing with the first such date to occur after the first full fiscal quarter to elapse after the Effective Date) and on each date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum for such Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender on the daily amount of the relevant Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period ending with the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender shall be terminated); provided, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided, further, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the “annual administrative fee” set forth in the Agency Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administration Fee”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the fifteenth day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year (commencing with the first such date to occur after the first full fiscal quarter to elapse after the Effective Date) and on the date on which the

Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (each, an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Stated Amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit during the preceding quarter (or shorter period ending with the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and all of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage for the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Lender from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Term SOFR Revolving Credit Borrowings for such Lender minus the Issuing Bank Fees referred to in clause (ii)(A) below, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank (A) with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit a fronting fee that shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum (or such lesser rate as shall be separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank) on the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year (commencing with the first such date to occur after the first full fiscal quarter to elapse after the Effective Date) and upon expiration of the applicable Letter of Credit or any earlier termination of all of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (B) within 30 days after demand therefor such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder (the fees in this clause (ii) being collectively the “Issuing Bank Fees”).

(d) At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Transaction with respect to Initial Term Loans that is consummated prior to the date which is six months after the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term Lender that holds Initial Term Loans (including each such Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Transaction and is replaced as a Non-Consenting Lender under Section 2.22), a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of (i) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in paragraph (a) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid (or converted) in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (ii) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in paragraph (b) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an Effective Yield reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(e) All Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days, and shall be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders and the relevant Issuing Bank, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the relevant Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Effective Date to each Initial Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Initial Term Lender’s Initial Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.25% of the stated principal amount of such Initial Term Lender’s Initial Term Loan made on the Effective Date. Such Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and shall be netted against Initial Term Loans made by such Initial Term Lender on the Effective Date.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time with respect to such Borrowing.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each XXXXX Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple XXXXX in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time with respect to such Borrowing.

(g) Interest, including interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07, shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or, when interest is based on (i) the Canadian Prime Rate or the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the US Prime Rate or (ii) Daily Simple XXXXX, over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) and shall be calculated from and including the date of the relevant Borrowing to, but excluding, the date of repayment thereof.

The applicable Daily Simple XXXXX, Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Adjusted EURIBO Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such annual rate is to be ascertained, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Section 2.07. Default Interest. If a Default or Event of Default is continuing as a result of a default by the Borrower in the payment when due of any principal of or interest on any Loan or reimbursement of any L/C Disbursement or payment of any Fee or other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to, Loans and other amounts owing in Canadian Dollars under a given Class, at the rate otherwise applicable to a Loan under such Class denominated in Canadian Dollars pursuant to Section 2.06(b) plus 2.0% per annum, (b) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to, Loans and other amounts owing in Euros or Sterling under a given Class, at the rate otherwise applicable to a Loan under such Class denominated in such currency pursuant to Section 2.06(e) or (f), as applicable (for such purpose using the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for successive periods not exceeding one month as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid), plus 2.0% per annum and (c) in all other cases, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.0% per annum (or, if the overdue amount does not relate to any specific Class of Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the

rate that would be applicable to an ABR Initial Revolving Loan plus 2.0% per annum (without regard to whether Initial Revolving Loans have been repaid in full)).

Section 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Sections 1.12 and 1.13, in the event, and on each occasion, that on the day 2 Business Days prior to (x) the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or a XXXXX Borrowing or (y) the XXXXX Interest Day for a XXXXX Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (A) with respect to any EURIBOR Borrowing, that deposits in Euros in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant interbank market, or, with respect to any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan, that the rates at which deposits in the Applicable Currency are being offered in the relevant interbank market will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any participating Lender of making or maintaining its SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan, as applicable, during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted EURIBO Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX, as applicable, for such Interest Period or (B) with respect to any XXXXX Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Daily Simple XXXXX, then in each case, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the participating Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly after such circumstances no longer exist), any request by the Borrower for (a) the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, as applicable, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted (i) in the case of US Dollar-Dominated Loans, to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or (iii) in the case Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans, to a mutually acceptable alternative rate that the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall establish; provided, that if no such alternative rate is agreed among the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans shall be converted into ABR Borrowings denominated in US Dollar (in an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) and (b) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, XXXXX Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as (i) in the case of US Dollar-Dominated Loans, an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or (iii) in the case of Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans, as a Loan bearing interest at a mutually acceptable alternative rate that the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall establish; provided, that if no such alternative rate is agreed among the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Borrowing Request for an Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans shall be ineffective. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) (i) (A) The Initial Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Effective Date and (B) the Other Term Loan Commitments of any Class or Series shall automatically terminate upon the making of such Other Term Loans on the applicable Refinancing Effective Date provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment.

(ii) On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments will terminate and the Revolving Credit Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class will have no further obligation to make Revolving Loans, fund its portion of L/C Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.25(d) or purchase or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.23(e), in each case, solely in respect of such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (x) the foregoing will not release any such Revolving Credit Lender from any such obligation to fund Revolving Loans, its portion of L/C Disbursements or participations in Swingline Loans that was required to be performed on or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the foregoing will not release any such Revolving Credit Lender from any such obligation to fund its portion of L/C Disbursements or participations in Swingline Loans if on such Revolving Credit Maturity Date any

Specified Default, or event, act or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Specified Default, exists until such Specified Default or event, act or condition ceases to exist. Unless clause (y) of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence is applicable, upon the relevant Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Class or Series, all outstanding Swingline Loans and L/C Exposure shall be deemed to be outstanding with respect to the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments (so long as after giving effect to such reallocation, the Revolving Credit Exposure of each remaining Revolving Credit Lender does not exceed such Xxxxxx’s remaining Revolving Credit Commitment). On and after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the remaining Revolving Credit Lenders (and so long as clause (y) of the proviso to the second immediately preceding sentence is applicable, the Revolving Credit Lenders in the maturing Class) will be required, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages, to fund L/C Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.25(d) arising on or after such date and fund participations in Swingline Loans at the request of the Swingline Lender on and after such date, regardless of whether any Default existed on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of the then-terminating Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that the Revolving Credit Exposure of each remaining Revolving Credit Lender does not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment. In the event that a Specified Default, or event, act or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Specified Default, exists on a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of a Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, until such Specified Default or event, act or condition ceases to exist, for purposes of determining a Revolving Credit Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentage for purposes of its funding and/or purchase obligations under Section 2.23(e) or Section 2.25(d), such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment of the relevant Class shall be deemed to be the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender immediately prior to the termination thereof on such Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(iii) The L/C Commitment of any Issuing Bank shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (x) the date set forth in the definition of “L/C Commitment” for such Issuing Bank and (y) the date five days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent (or such later notice to which the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower may at any time (subject to Sections 2.09(c)) in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, any Class of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and $250,000 in the case of a Swingline Commitment) and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then in effect (after giving effect to any repayment or prepayment effected simultaneously therewith). Any notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be irrevocable; provided, that any such notice delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financing arrangements or other transactions or events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be made ratably among all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that (i) Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class selected by the Borrower may be reduced in connection with an exchange or conversion of such Revolving Credit Commitments with or into a new Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment as contemplated by Section 2.27, (ii) this Section 2.09(c) may be modified in connection with a Refinancing Amendment or an Incremental Amendment to provide less than ratable treatment with respect to any new Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments as provided in Section 2.26 or 2.27, as the case may be, (iii) the Borrower may elect to reduce any newly created Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments provided pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment substantially concurrently with the implementation of such Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments

pursuant to Section 2.27 (without any requirement to ratably reduce each other Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at such time), and (iv) the Borrower may elect to terminate any individual Class of Revolving Credit Commitments within six months of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, so long as any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments with an identical Revolving Credit Maturity Date is terminated concurrently therewith. In the case of any reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Agreement, the Swingline Commitment shall not be reduced unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced to an amount less than the Swingline Commitment then in effect (and then only to the extent of such deficit).

Section 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 p.m., on the date of conversion, to convert any SOFR Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing or any XXXXX Borrowing into a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a SOFR Borrowing or to continue any SOFR Borrowing as a SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, (c) not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing to a XXXXX Borrowing or to continue any XXXXX Borrowing as a XXXXX Borrowing for an additional Interest Period or (d) not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to continuation, to continue any EURIBOR Borrowing as a EURIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) subject to Section 2.16, each conversion and/or continuation shall be made pro rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted and/or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent recording, for the account of such relevant Lender, the Type of such Loan resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan (or portion thereof, in each case) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17; and

(v) for the avoidance of doubt, any such conversion and/or continuation shall not constitute the repayment or reborrowing of any particular loan and the original loan shall be considered to continue with full force and effect in the new form.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable (subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.16) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a XXXXX Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or a XXXXX Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of 1 month’s duration.

The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or any XXXXX Borrowing of a given Type into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing, as applicable, of the same Type with an Interest Period of 1 month’s duration. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans. A Borrowing denominated in Sterling shall at all times be a XXXXX Borrowing (subject to the last sentence of the definition of “Daily Simple XXXXX”), and each such XXXXX Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a XXXXX Borrowing in Sterling on each Interest Payment Date, unless repaid as provided herein on or prior to such date.

Section 2.11. Repayment of Borrowings. (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent in US Dollars for the ratable account of (x) each Initial Term Lender, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur at the end of the second full fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Effective Date and (y) each Incremental Term Loan Lender and each Other Term Loan Lender, the amortization amounts and on the dates set forth in the relevant Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable; provided, further, that any payment under this Section 2.11(a)(x) shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.12(b) and 2.13(f) and increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.26.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans of a given Class shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Term Loans to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(c) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent in the Applicable Currency for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders with outstanding Revolving Loans under a given Class on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for such Class of Revolving Loans the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.17, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

Section 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right (subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(b)) at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon (i) (x) at least three U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior written or fax notice by the Borrower (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of SOFR Loans, and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice by the Borrower (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of EURIBOR Loans and XXXXX Loans, (ii) at least two Business Days’ prior written or fax notice by the Borrower (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of XXXXX Xxxxx or (iii) written or fax notice by the Borrower (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m. on such date; provided, however, that (A) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that not less than the Minimum Applicable Borrowing Amount and (B) the Administrative Agent may agree to extend any deadline set forth in this clause (a).

(b) (i) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied (x) to one or more Classes of Term Loans as elected by the Borrower and (y) against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable prepaid Class of Term Loans under Section 2.11 in the manner specified by the Borrower or, if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in direct order of maturity.

(ii) Optional prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably among one or more Classes of Revolving Loans as elected by the Borrower.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, that any such notice delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financing arrangements or other transactions or events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.05(d) and Section 2.17, as applicable, but otherwise without premium or penalty. All SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, XXXXX Loan and XXXXX Loan prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

Section 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) (i) If on any Revaluation Date, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed 105% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then (A) the Borrower shall, on such Revaluation Date, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) owing by the Borrower in a Principal Amount such that, after giving effect to such repayment or prepayment, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) after the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swingline Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, the Borrower shall replace or cause to be canceled (or provide an L/C Backstop or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess; provided, that any repayment or prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(i) shall be applied pro rata among the then existing Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments, unless (x) such a repayment or prepayment is made on (1) the Maturity Date of a given Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or (2) the date of any termination of all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class pursuant to clause (iv) of the proviso in the first sentence of Section 2.09(c), in which case such repayments or prepayments shall be applied first to Revolving Credit Borrowings incurred under such maturing or terminating Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) with respect to any Class of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, the Lenders in respect thereof shall have elected less than ratable treatment with respect to the termination of such Class of Commitments.

(ii) The Borrower shall, on the date of termination in full of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class, repay or prepay all of its outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class.

(iii) If for any reason, at any time during the five Business Day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date for any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) the Allocable Revolving Share of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to L/C Exposure of Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class and Swingline Exposure of such Class exceeds (y) the amount of the remaining Total Revolving Credit Commitments minus the remaining Revolving Credit Lenders’ Allocable Revolving Share of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at such time, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure pursuant to this sentence unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans such excess has not been eliminated. For purposes of this Section 2.13(a)(iii), “Allocable Revolving Share” shall mean, at any time with respect to the Total Revolving Credit Commitments or the Revolving Credit Lenders of any Class, the percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments represented at such time by the Total Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

(b) Not later than the tenth Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of Prepayment Asset Sales in excess of the greater of

100

$90,000,000 and 20% of EBITDA in the aggregate as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period in any Fiscal Year (the “De Minimis Proceeds Threshold”), the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to the Required Net Cash Proceeds Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds with respect thereto in excess of the De Minimis Proceeds Threshold to prepay its outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f); provided, that, except as provided in the next sentence, if prior to such tenth Business Day, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intention to (A) reinvest an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) prepay, repay, redeem, defease or repurchase any Pari Passu Lien Obligations (other than the Loans) of the Borrower and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in any such case required by the terms of the documentation governing such Pari Passu Lien Obligations to be prepaid, repaid, redeemed, defeased or repurchased with any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (any such Pari Passu Lien Obligations, the “Specified Obligations”), then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay its Term Loans hereunder in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds as otherwise provided above to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are (x) promptly applied to prepay, repay, redeem, defease or repurchase, as applicable, on a ratable basis, the Specified Obligations and each applicable Class of Term Loans (with any such repayment of Term Loans to be applied on or prior to such tenth Business Day in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.13(f)) or (y) so reinvested within 18 months after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or within such 18 month period, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest in such Net Cash Proceeds, and such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after such binding commitment is so entered into). Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) if any Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested are not reinvested on or prior to the last day of the applicable reinvestment period, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after the end of such reinvestment period to prepay the Borrower’s Term Loans as set forth above (without regard to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence);

(2) no prepayment under this Section 2.13(c) shall be required unless the amount thereof exceeds the greater of $90,000,000 and 20% of EBITDA (the “De Minimis ECF Threshold”) as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period; it being understood that (x) only the amount in excess of the De Minimis ECF Threshold shall be required to be applied to make a prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.11(b)(i) and (y) if the amount of any required prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) (without giving effect to the De Minimis ECF Threshold) for any Excess Cash Flow Period (which amount may be $0) is less than the De Minimis ECF Threshold for such Excess Cash Flow Period, an amount equal to (X) the De Minimis ECF Threshold for such Excess Cash Flow Period minus (Y) the amount of the required prepayment (without giving effect to the De Minimis ECF Threshold) pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i) for such Excess Cash Flow Period shall be applied to increase the De Minimis ECF Threshold in any future Excess Cash Flow Period selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion; and

(3) to the extent the ECF Prepayment Amount for any Excess Cash Flow Period, after giving effect to all deductions and credits (including any deduction of the types described in clauses (A) and (B) above) applicable thereto, is a negative amount, such negative amount may be carried forward to reduce the required ECF Prepayment Amount with respect to any future Excess Cash Flow Period selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall no later than the tenth Business Day next following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay its outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.13 to the contrary:

(i) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c) above to the extent that the Borrower determines in good faith the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Foreign Subsidiary, the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary are received by any Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, and the repatriation to the Borrower of any such amount would be, in the good faith determination of the Borrower, prohibited or delayed under any requirements of applicable law (including as a result of any minimum net worth or similar requirement) or 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 of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary,

(ii) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are received by any joint venture, in each case, and the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds

103

would, in the good faith determination of the Borrower, be prohibited under the organizational documents governing such joint venture, and

(iii) if the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Borrower, directly or indirectly, from a Foreign Subsidiary as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c) above would result in the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurring a material (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) Tax liability (including any withholding Tax) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c), as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount.

(f) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.13(f) and the limitations with respect to mandatory prepayments on any Credit Increases or Other Term Loans that are junior in right of payment and/or of security to the Initial Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.26 or 2.27, as the case may be (it being understood that such Credit Increases or Other Term Loans shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 2.13(f)), (A) all prepayments required by Section 2.13(c) shall be applied first, on a pro rata basis to each Class of Term Loans (other than Excluded Term Loans) then outstanding until paid in full and, second, on a pro rata basis to the Excluded Term Loans then outstanding until paid in full and (B) all prepayments and/or offers to prepay required by Sections 2.13(b), (c) and (d) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the relevant Class of Term Loans being prepaid as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the foregoing application provisions may be modified as expressly provided in Section 2.26 or 2.27 in connection with an Incremental Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment, as applicable, to provide less than ratable treatment to any Class of Loans and/or Commitments provided for therein.

(g) Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), (c) and/or (d), to decline all (but not a portion) of its share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”); provided, that (A) the Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.13(d) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Cash Proceeds of (w) Refinancing Indebtedness (including any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans (x) Incremental Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.26, (y) Other Term Loans incurred to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.27 and/or (z) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Loans. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its share of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Xxxxxx’s share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

Section 2.14. [Reserved].

Section 2.15. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, XXXXX Loans or XXXXX 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 Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, XXXXX Loan or XXXXX Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will

104

pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Loans purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or participations purchased pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower, shall describe the applicable Change in Law, the resulting costs incurred or reduction suffered (including a calculation thereof), certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section 2.15 shall be available to each Lender and the respective Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided, that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section 2.15, any Change in Law in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, this Section 2.15 shall not apply to any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.21.

Section 2.16. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, any XXXXX Loan or any XXXXX Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, any XXXXX Loan or any XXXXX Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare (A) that SOFR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into SOFR Loans, (B) that EURIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such

105

Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), (C) if the affected currency is Xxxxxxxx, that XXXXX Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder and (D) if the affected currency is Canadian Dollars, that XXXXX Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and, Canadian Prime Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into XXXXX Loans, in each case, whereupon any request for a SOFR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, a XXXXX Borrowing or XXXXX Borrowing (or (x) in the case of a Borrowing of US Dollar-Denominated Loans if US Dollars are the affected currency, convert an ABR Borrowing to a SOFR Borrowing or to continue a SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (y) in the case of a Borrowing of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans if Canadian Dollars are the affected currency, convert a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing to a XXXXX Borrowing or to continue a XXXXX Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for (x) in the case of US Dollar-Denominated Loans if the affected currency is US Dollars, an ABR Loan, (y), in the case of Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loans if the affected currency is Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or (z) in the case of Alternate Currency-Denominated Loans if the affected currency is an Alternate Currency, a Loan in such currency bearing interest at an alternative interest rate mutually acceptable to the Borrower and such Lender, in each case, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn;

(ii) such Lender may require that (A) if US Dollars is the affected currency, all outstanding SOFR Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to ABR Loans, (B) if Canadian Dollars is the affected currency, all outstanding XXXXX Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (C) if an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) is the affected currency, such Loans denominated in such currency convert to Loans bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the Borrower and such Lender, in which event all such Loans shall be automatically so converted as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below; and

(iii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists (which notice such Xxxxxx agrees to give promptly).

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, XXXXX Loan or XXXXX Loans, as applicable, that would have been made by such Lender or the converted SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or XXXXX Loans, of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or XXXXX Loans, as applicable.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each affected SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loans, as applicable, made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan, as applicable; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. Such Lender shall withdraw such notice promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain the affected SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, XXXXX Loans or XXXXX Loans, as applicable, or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to the affected SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan, XXXXX Loan or XXXXX Loan, as applicable.

106

Section 2.17. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any actual documented loss or expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) such Lender receiving the principal amount of any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan, in each case, that is a Revolving Loan, prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Loan that is a Revolving Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (iii) the conversion of any XXXXX Loan that is a Revolving Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any XXXXX Loan that is a Revolving Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor or (iv) any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan, in each case, that is a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender (including any SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or XXXXX Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder. Any request for reimbursement by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.17; it being understood that such Lender shall not charge amounts greater that amounts it is requesting from similarly situated borrowers.

Section 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided below in this Section 2.18 with respect to Swingline Loans and as required or contemplated under Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21, 2.22, 2.26, 2.27 and/or 9.04(k), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of a Commitment Fee and an L/C Participation Fee and each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, under a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments of the relevant Class (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the relevant Lenders at any time (but subject to the last sentence of Section 2.05(a)), each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

Section 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any relevant Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its relevant Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the relevant Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other relevant Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other relevant Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the relevant Loans and L/C Exposure of such other relevant Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the relevant Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in relevant Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all relevant Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its relevant Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all relevant Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.19 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of

107

a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.20. Payments. The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due in (x) the Applicable Currency in immediately available funds or (y) such other form of consideration as the relevant recipient may agree; provided, that in the case of this clause (y), such other form of consideration is offered as payment in lieu of immediately available funds to each other Lender then entitled to pro rata treatment pursuant to Section 2.18 with respect to such payment, in each case, without setoff (except as otherwise provided herein), defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the relevant Issuing Bank, (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the relevant Swingline Lender, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.23(e) and (iii) amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.17, 2.21 or 2.22, which shall be paid directly to the Person entitled thereto) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office (the “Payment Office”) as the Administrative Agent may direct in writing to the Borrower from time to time. The 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.

Section 2.21. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any penalties attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), in each case, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (but not Other Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this paragraph (c) with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Person demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such Indemnified Tax or Other Tax is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

108

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Issuing Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Foreign Lender shall (a) furnish to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date it becomes a party to the Agreement either (i) 2 accurate and complete originally executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), (ii) 2 accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or (iii) 2 accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments, certifying, in any case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder and (b) provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a new Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments upon (i) the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder, (ii) the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and (iii) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided, that any Foreign Lender that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit E together with a Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8IMY (together with any required attachments), as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall (unless such Lender or Issuing Bank may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1)) deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the times specified in Section 2.21(e), two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States back-up withholding requirements.

(g) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (including any Tax credit elected in lieu of 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, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (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 of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental

109

Authority and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or the Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.21(h) shall include the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank.

Section 2.22. Assignment of Commitments and Loans under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.15, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.16, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21, (iv) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of all Lenders, all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.08 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of Loans or Commitments and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders (or a majority of the affected Lenders or the Lenders with respect to the relevant Class of Loans or Commitments) (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, either:

(x) replace such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by causing such Lender or Issuing Bank to (and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be obligated to) assign 100% of its relevant Commitments and the principal of its relevant outstanding Loans plus any accrued and unpaid interest and fees pursuant to Section 9.04 (with the assignment fee to be waived in such instance) all of its relevant rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (which Persons shall otherwise be subject to the approval rights set forth in Section 9.04(b)); provided, that (A) the replacement Lender shall agree to the consent, waiver or amendment to which the Non-Consenting Lender did not agree, (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments; or

(y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than an Issuing Bank), repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an Issuing Bank, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Issuing Bank relating to the Loans and participations held by the Issuing Bank as of such termination date other than any Obligations pertaining to any Subject Letters of Credit.

110

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.22, unless an Issuing Bank is removed and replaced with a successor Issuing Bank at the time the Borrower exercises its rights under this Section 2.22 (in which case the provisions of Section 2.25(i), as applicable, shall apply), any Issuing Bank having undrawn Letters of Credit issued by it (the “Subject Letters of Credit”) whose Commitments and Obligations are to be repaid or terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.22 shall (x) remain a party hereto until the expiration or termination of the Subject Letters of Credit, (y) not issue (or be required to issue) any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (z) continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents solely with respect to the Subject Letters of Credit until all of the Subject Letters of Credit have expired, been terminated or become subject to an L/C Backstop (including all rights of reimbursement pursuant to Sections 2.25(d), (e), (f) and (h) for any L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and all voting rights of an Issuing Bank (but such voting rights shall be limited to pertain solely to L/C Disbursements in respect of the Subject Letters of Credit, any Fee payable to the Issuing Bank in respect of the Subject Letters of Credit, and the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank in respect of the Subject Letters of Credit), but excluding any consent rights as an Issuing Bank under Section 9.04(b)).

Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Xxxxxx as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Xxxxxx’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.22.

(b) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.16 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.21, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be material) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.15 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.16 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.21, as the case may be, in the future.

Section 2.23. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrower in an Available Currency requested by the Borrower at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and until the termination of its Swingline Commitment in an aggregate Principal Amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) the Principal Amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000 in the aggregate or (y) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans, as the case may be (which Cash Collateralization may be made with the proceeds of a simultaneous borrowing of additional Swingline Loans incurred from Non-Defaulting Lenders and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.23). Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount not less than the Minimum Applicable Borrowing Amount. Each Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall submit a written notice to the Administrative Agent by telecopy or electronic mail not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such

111

approval not to be unreasonably withheld), shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lenders of any such notice received from the Borrower. Each Swingline Lender shall make its ratable portion of the requested Swingline Loan (such ratable portion to be calculated based upon such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment to the total Swingline Commitments of all of the Swingline Lenders) available to the Borrower by means of a credit to an account designated by the Borrower for such purpose, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The failure of any Swingline Lender to make its ratable portion of a Swingline Loan shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its ratable portion of such Swingline Loan on the date of such Swingline Loan, but no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline Lender to make the ratable portion of a Swingline Loan to be made by such other Swingline Lender on the date of any Swingline Loan.

(c) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan made to it, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice by the Borrower (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Swingline Lender before 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment at such Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in Section 9.01; provided, that any such notice delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financing arrangements, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan (if such Loan is a US Dollar-Denominated Loan) or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (if such Loan is a Canadian Dollar-Denominated Loan) and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a) or (b), as the case may be.

(e) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount (and the relevant currency) of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent in the Applicable Currency, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.23(e) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.23(e) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender in the relevant Available Currency (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.23(e) and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.23(e) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may

112

appear; provided, that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.23(e) shall not relieve the Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

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

(g) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Xxxxxx may resign as a Swingline Xxxxxx at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.23(e) above.

Section 2.24. [Reserved].

Section 2.25. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit on a sight basis for its own account or for the account of any of its subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of its L/C Commitment and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that violates the terms and conditions of this Agreement or if any Letter of Credit requested to be issued (or amended, as applicable) would have a stated expiry date after the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit having stated expiry dates after such Revolving Credit Maturity Date would exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments that have maturities after such Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless, with the consent of the relevant Issuing Bank, the Borrower provides an L/C Backstop in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank from a financial institution in respect of such overage on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may require cash collateralization in lieu of an L/C Backstop in its sole discretion. Letters of Credit may be denominated in one or more Available Currencies. On the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for all purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Effective Date.

(b) In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver a written notice (a “Letter of Credit Application”) to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (unless waived by the relevant Issuing Bank, no later than three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended and specifying (i) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (ii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), (iii) the amount of such Letter of Credit, if applicable pursuant to Section 1.10, (iv) the Available Currency in which such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated, (v) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (vi) such other information as the relevant Issuing Bank may request with respect to such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,

113

renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. 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 relevant Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date (such date of expiration, the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) or an L/C Backstop exists with respect to such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit (an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”) shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date unless an L/C Backstop exists with respect to Letter of Credit) unless the relevant Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, that the relevant Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to permit any such renewal if (i) the relevant Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.25(l) or otherwise) or (ii) one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 is not then satisfied.

(d) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the term thereof) and without any further action on the part of a Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(g). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Upon any change in the Revolving Credit Commitments or Pro Rata Percentages of the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22 or 9.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.25(d) to reflect the new Pro Rata Percentages of each Revolving Credit Lender.

(e) If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon on the immediately following Business Day; provided that the Borrower may, subject to satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4.01, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.23 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount, and to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the

114

resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations specified in Section 2.25(e) shall continue to the extent that the Borrower has not reimbursed such L/C Disbursement or such reimbursement obligation has not been converted to a Revolving Loan. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank in the relevant Alternate Currency on the date of such L/C Disbursement. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.

(f) (i) The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, including any defense based on the failure of any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.25(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, document, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(ii) Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any draft, demand, certificate or other document 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 Issuing Banks, any Related Party of such Issuing Bank nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (x) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (y) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or (z) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or

115

Letter of Credit Application. 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, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.

(g) The relevant Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The relevant Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided, that such notice need not be given prior to payment by the Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full in the applicable currency on the same day that such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of an Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(g), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice from the Borrower to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank (which Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Xxxxxx shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with this clause (i).

(j) If the maturity of any of the Loans under the Credit Facilities has been accelerated and the Borrower shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to (A) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, 101% of the L/C Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit as of such date or (B) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, 103% of the L/C Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies in such account

116

shall (i) first, automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse relevant Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) second, be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) third, subject to the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the acceleration of the Loans under the Credit Facilities, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days to the extent any such acceleration has been rescinded.

(k) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.

(l) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular;

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable laws binding upon such Issuing Bank; or

(iii) any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender at such time, unless (A) the L/C Exposure relating to such Letter of Credit is reallocated as described in clause (m) below or (B) such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the L/C Exposure.

(m) If any L/C Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all non-Defaulting Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class; it being understood and agreed that no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against any Defaulting Lender arising from such Xxxxxx’s having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of any Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

(n) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, reimbursement agreement or similar agreement, the terms hereof shall control and no Issuing Bank shall have any greater rights and remedies than the rights and remedies set forth herein.

117

Section 2.26. Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional Series of term loans under this Section 2.26 to be made available to the Borrower or an increase in the amount of the Initial Term Loans, any Incremental Term Loans or any Other Term Loans (any such new additional tranche or series or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility”, and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and (ii) (x) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.26 (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and (y) one or more additional Series of incremental revolving credit commitments under this Section 2.26 to be made available to the Borrower (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”, with any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, any Revolving Commitment Increases and any Incremental Term Facility being collectively called a “Credit Increase”); provided, that:

(i) each Credit Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or such lower amount that either (A) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (B) is acceptable to the Administrative Agent);

(ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Credit Increases under this Section 2.26, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Permitted First Priority Incremental Equivalent Debt, Permitted Junior Priority Incremental Equivalent Debt and Permitted Unsecured Incremental Equivalent Debt, shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount;

(iii) each Incremental Term Loan shall:

(A) rank pari passu or (except with respect to an increase to any existing Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder) junior in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans and any other then existing Class of Term Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and security therewith (so long as, in the case of any such Incremental Term Loans ranking junior in right of payment or security, such Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to an applicable Intercreditor Agreement),

(B) other than with respect to the Inside Maturity Amount, any Customary Bridge Loan or any Customary Term A Loan, (1) not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date then in effect and (2) have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any other outstanding Class of Term Loans (provided, that, for the purpose of calculating the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loan ranking pari passu in right of security to any such Class of Term Loans, amortization of such Incremental Term Loan shall be disregarded if (and only if) it does not exceed 0.25% per fiscal quarter), and

(C) be treated in the same manner as each existing Class of Term Loans with which such Incremental Term Loan ranks pari passu in right of payment and of security for purposes of Section 2.13(f), unless the relevant Lender in respect of such Incremental Term Loan elects lesser treatment;

118

(A) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans, (B) constitute then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the definitive documentation for such Incremental Term Loan is finalized), including any financial maintenance covenant applicable to any Customary Term A Loan (which shall constitute a “then-current market term” for Customary Term A Loans) or (C) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement effectuated in reliance on Section 9.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and

(E) bear interest and be subject to fees as agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders; provided, in the case of any such Incremental Term Loan that constitutes MFN Indebtedness, the interest rate margin applicable thereto (excluding any credit spread or similar adjustment) will not be more than 0.75% per annum higher than the interest rate margin in respect of the Initial Term Loans unless the Applicable Percentage with respect to the Initial Term Loans is adjusted such that the interest rate margin applicable to any Initial Term Loans at such time is not more than 0.75% per annum less than the interest rate margin with respect to such Indebtedness; it being understood and agreed that whether, and to what extent, the MFN Provision applies shall be determined as of the date on which such Incremental Term Loan is implemented under this Agreement (this clause (E), the “MFN Provision”); and

(iv) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (and related Incremental Revolving Loans) shall:

(A) rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Initial Revolving Loans; provided, however, the Borrower may elect to structure any such Incremental Revolving Loans ranking junior in right of security to the Loans and Commitments of the Borrower hereunder under a separate credit facility, so long as such other credit facility otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 2.26

(B) not mature (or require commitment reductions) earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect,

(C) be treated in the same manner as the Initial Revolving Loans for purposes of Section 2.13(f), unless the relevant Lender in respect of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments elects lesser treatment;

(D) except as otherwise permitted herein (including with respect to margin, MFN protection, pricing, maturity and fees), have representation and warranty, covenant and default terms that, if not substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments, are (1) taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the documentation relating to such Revolving Credit Commitment is finalized) to the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents or (2) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that any terms contained in such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (A) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) any covenants or provisions which are then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the documentation relating to such Revolving Credit Commitment is finalized), including any financial maintenance covenant applicable to any Customary Term A Loan (which shall constitute a “then-current market term” for Customary Term A Loans) or (C) that are more

119

favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement effectuated in reliance on Section 9.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and

(E) bear interest and be subject to fees as agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders;

(v) each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Credit Increases and

(vi) Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender with Loans and/or Commitments under the relevant Class or by any Additional Lender.

(b) (i) Commitments in respect of Credit Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment, as the case may be) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26; it being understood that the Incremental Amendment with respect to any Incremental Term Facility may, without the consent of any Lender (other than any Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans) or the Administrative Agent, include such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to (A) make the applicable Incremental Term Loans “fungible” with the relevant existing Class of Term Loans (including by modifying the amortization schedule and/or extending the time period during which any prepayment premium applies) and/or (B) in the case of any Credit Increase in the form of a Customary Term A Loan, provide that the financial covenant applicable to such Customary Term A Loan applies for the benefit of the lenders of such Customary Term A Loan but not any other Lender or group of Lenders hereunder.

(iii) The Borrower may use the proceeds of any Credit Increase for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement (it being understood that Section 5.08 imposes limitations on the use of proceeds of certain Credit Increases as specified therein).

(iv) No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Credit Increases unless it so agrees in its sole discretion.

(v) On the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any Class of Initial Term Loans, other Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.03 or Section 2.06, such Incremental Term Loans shall, at the election of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be added to (and constitute a part of) each borrowing of outstanding Initial Term Loans, other Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, of the same type with the same Interest Period of the respective Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Term Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding borrowing of Initial Term

120

Loans, other Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, of the same type with the same Interest Period of the respective Class.

(vi) Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class pursuant to a Revolving Commitment Increase as provided in this Section 2.26, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such affected Class immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of such Revolving Commitment Increase for such Class (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Xxxxxx’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans representing a utilization of such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (I) participations hereunder in the relevant Letters of Credit and (II) participations hereunder in the relevant Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such affected Class (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments under such affected Class of all relevant Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Revolving Credit Xxxxxx’s relevant Revolving Credit Commitment.

(vii) the existing Revolving Credit Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Credit Loans to certain other Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Credit Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Commitment), and such other Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Revolving Credit Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Credit Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class pursuant to this Section 2.26); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (vii).

(viii) Upon each addition of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.26 if, on the date of such addition, there is any Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding, then participations hereunder in the relevant Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans hereunder shall be adjusted, in each case such that all Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, participate in each Revolving Credit Borrowing, L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure, as the case may be, in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Percentages (with any such prepayment to be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.17).

(c) No Credit Increase shall (i) be guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party or (ii) be secured by any property or assets other than the Collateral.

(d) This Section 2.26 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 9.08 to the contrary.

(e) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Credit Increase shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Credit Increase. On the effective date of such Credit Increase, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

121

(f) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Credit Increase or the making of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, (A) upon its reasonable request, the Administrative Agent shall have received customary written opinions of counsel to the Borrower, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such Credit Increase.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Credit Increase are intended to be applied to finance any permitted Investment that constitutes a third party acquisition (other than an intercompany Investment), and the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Credit Increase so agree, the availability thereof may, at the election of the Borrower, be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.

Section 2.27. Refinancing Amendments. (a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (x) all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement in the form of Other Term Loan Commitments and/or Other Term Loans and/or (y) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or Unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under a given Class under this Agreement, in the form of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Loans, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided, that:

(i) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with, or at the option of the Borrower, may be junior in right of payment and/or security to the other Loans and Commitments of the Borrower hereunder (so long as, in the case of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness ranking junior in right of payment or security, such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or another Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable),

(ii) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have such pricing, fees and call protection terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof,

(iii) in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of a Class of Other Term Loans, such Class of Other Term Loans shall be prepaid and repaid on a pro rata basis with all voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments (but not amortization payments) of the other Classes of Term Loans, except that the applicable Lenders and Additional Lenders providing any Class of Other Term Loans may elect in any given Refinancing Amendment to receive less than ratable treatment with respect to such prepayments,

(iv) in the case of any Other Term Loans ranking junior in right of payment or security, limitations on voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the type described in Section 2.26 which are applicable to Incremental Term Loans ranking junior in right of payment or security shall also apply to such Other Term Loans,

(v) in the case of any Other Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Exposure) ranking junior in right of payment or security, appropriate adjustments shall be made to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.12, and 2.13) to reflect the junior status of such Other Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Exposure) and to provide separate junior letter of credit and swingline subfacilities that do not share ratably in the L/C Exposure and/or the Swingline Exposure, as applicable, and

(vi) except as otherwise permitted herein (including with respect to margin, call protection, MFN terms, pricing, maturity and fees), the representation and warranty, covenant and

122

default terms of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, if not substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or Unused Revolving Credit Commitments), as applicable, must be, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the documentation with respect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is finalized) to the lenders or investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that any terms contained in such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (A) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Maturity Date applicable to such Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or Unused Revolving Credit Commitments), as applicable, (B) any covenants or provisions which are then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the documentation with respect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is finalized), including any financial maintenance covenant applicable to any Customary Term A Loan (which shall constitute a “then-current market term” for Customary Term A Loans) or (C) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of such Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or Unused Revolving Credit Commitments) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement effectuated in reliance on Section 9.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that the Borrower may elect to structure any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness ranking junior in right of security to the other Loans and Commitments of the Borrower hereunder under a separate credit facility, so long as such other credit facility otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 2.27.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of such other conditions as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions of counsel to the Borrower, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including, to the extent reasonably necessary, mortgage amendments) in order to ensure that the Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Any Other Term Loans and/or Other Revolving Credit Commitments (any corresponding Revolving Credit Exposure) converted from or exchanged for (or the proceeds of which are used to refinance) any then-existing Term Loans or then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then-existing Class of Term Loans of the Borrower or any previously established Class or Series of Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.

(d) Each Class or Series of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.27 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may agree).

(e) Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitment established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that such Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans may have different pricing and maturity dates, but shall otherwise be treated as though they are a part of a single letter of credit or swingline facility, as applicable, with the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments) or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and any applicable swingline lender or letter of credit issuer.

123

(f) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”).

(g) On any Refinancing Effective Date on which Other Revolving Credit Commitments are implemented pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) the Revolving Loans of any existing Revolving Credit Lender who is providing such Other Revolving Credit Commitment on such date and whose related existing Revolving Credit Commitment is being reduced on such date pursuant to Section 2.09(c), in connection therewith shall be converted into Other Revolving Loans under such Lender’s new Other Revolving Credit Commitment being provided on such date in the same ratio as (x) the amount of such Lender’s applicable new Other Revolving Credit Commitment bears to (y) the aggregate amount of such Lender’s existing Revolving Credit Commitment prior to any reduction of such Lender’s existing Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.09(c), in connection therewith and (ii) if such new Other Revolving Credit Commitments are to be made a part of any then-existing Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders with Other Revolving Credit Commitments under such combined Class shall purchase from each of the other Lenders with Other Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Other Revolving Loans under such Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments so converted or outstanding on such Refinancing Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Other Revolving Loans of such Class will be held by all Revolving Credit Lenders with such Class of Other Revolving Credit Commitments ratably in accordance with their respective Other Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

(h) Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.27 (including, in the case of any Other Term Loan that constitutes a Customary Term A Loan, any amendment that provides that the financial covenant applicable to such Customary Term A Loan applies for the benefit of the lenders of such Customary Term A Loan but not any other Lender or group of Lenders hereunder) and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment, and this Section 2.27 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18, 2.19 or 9.08 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants (it being understood that, for purposes of the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents on the Effective Date, such representations and warranties shall be construed as though the Transactions have been consummated) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders that:

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, elect to cause any Restricted Subsidiary and/or parent company (any such Person, a “Discretionary Guarantor”) that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to provide a Loan Guaranty by causing such Person to execute the documentation required by Section 5.09(c) above, and any such Person shall constitute a Loan Party and a Guarantor for all purposes hereunder; it being understood and agreed that such Person shall grant a security interest in such categories of assets pursuant to such documentation as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree; provided, that (i) in the case of any Discretionary Guarantor that is a Foreign Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of such person is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, at least two Business Days prior to such person becoming a Guarantor, all documentation and other information in respect of such person required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations (including the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation).

The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time for purposes of Section 6.01 or 6.02, as the case may be.

Any such designation by the Borrower shall be notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

In the case of clause (i)(B) above, the Successor Subsidiary Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under the applicable Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04, (i) any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge into, amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Restricted Subsidiary or the Borrower, (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary may dissolve or liquidate its affairs (or consummate an analogous transaction) if (x) the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders and (y) if the relevant dissolving or liquidating Restricted Subsidiary is a Loan Party, the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary are transferred to another Loan Party or such transfer is otherwise treated as an Investment and permitted by Section 6.03 and (iii) any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge into, amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrower without the necessity of complying with any requirement to provide the documentation described in Section 6.04(a)(iii).

(f) (i) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to pay any principal or interest, regardless of amount, due in respect of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that, in

154

the aggregate, constitutes Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), which failure enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity or that is a failure to pay such Indebtedness at its maturity or (ii) any other event or condition occurs that results in any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that, in the aggregate, constitutes Material Indebtedness (other than for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to such Indebtedness consisting of Hedging Obligations, termination events or equivalent events pursuant to the terms of the relevant documentation which are not the result of any default thereunder by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary) becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided, that:

(A) this clause (ii) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness if such sale or transfer is otherwise permitted hereunder,

(B) any failure described under clauses (i) or (ii) above is unremedied and is not waived by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to any termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article VII;

(C) is understood and agreed that the occurrence of any event described in this clause (f) that would, prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period, permit the holder or holders of the relevant Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause (with the giving of notice, if required) such Indebtedness to become or be declared due and payable (or redeemable) prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the case may be, will not result in a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement prior to the expiration of such grace period; and

(D) any conversion of, or trigger of conversion rights with respect to, any convertible debt security (whether or not such conversion is to be settled in cash or Capital Stock or any combination thereof) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such conversion results from an event of default thereunder or a “change of control”, “fundamental change” or similar occurrence thereunder.

(g) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary, or of a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary, under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, restructuring or similar law, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator, monitor or similar official for the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary for a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary or (iii) the winding up or liquidation of the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary; and, in each case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

(h) the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, restructuring or similar law, (ii) consent to the institution of any proceeding or the filing of any petition described in paragraph (g) above, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator, monitor or similar official for the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary or for a substantial part of the property or assets of

155

the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it or consent to any order requested in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) admit in writing its general inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(i) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered by insurance as to which an insurance company has not denied coverage and/or an indemnity or similar arrangement from a third party (including any escrow arrangement) and the third party has not validly denied its indemnity obligations) shall be rendered against the Borrower and/or any Significant Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) and the same shall not have been paid, vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending an appeal for a period of 60 consecutive days; provided, that it is understood and agreed that the occurrence of any event described in this clause (i) will not result in a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 60 consecutive day period;

(j) (i) an ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) a Pension Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Plan which has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect;

(k) any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery, shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms or in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents), or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any material provision of any Loan Document, or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability thereunder (other than as a result of the discharge of such Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);

(l) any Lien in respect of a material portion of the Collateral, taken as a whole, purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected Lien having the priority contemplated thereby (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document), except to the extent that any lack of validity, perfection or priority results from the Collateral Agent (i) no longer having possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it under the Security Documents or (ii) as a result of a Uniform Commercial Code filing having lapsed because Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements were not filed in a timely matter; or

(m) there shall have occurred a Change of Control;

then, and in every such event (A) (other than (x) an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, (y) as a result of any Event of Default arising under Section 7.01(d) (as a result of any breach of Section 6.10) and/or (z) any Event of Default arising under Section 7.01(a) as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty made as a condition to any Credit Event or any deemed Credit Event), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposures then outstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposures as aforesaid

156

shall automatically become effective, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (II) during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under (1) Section 7.01(d) (with respect to any breach of Section 6.10) and/or (2) Section 7.01(a) (as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty made as a condition to any Credit Event or any deemed Credit Event) (A) upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders (but not the Required Lenders or any other Lender or group of Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) declare the Revolving Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Revolving Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure then outstanding and (B) on or after the date on which the rights under clause (A) immediately above are exercised, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith any remaining Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document:

(A) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be permitted to deliver a notice of default or exercise any right or remedy provided under any Loan Document or at law or equity, including any remedy provided under the UCC, with respect to any event, action or circumstance disclosed pursuant to a filing with the SEC, posted on the Platform or otherwise reported to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (including through any notice of Default or Event of Default) more than two years after the date of such disclosure, posting or other report; provided that such two year limitation shall not apply if (x) the Administrative Agent has commenced any remedial action in respect of any such event, action or circumstance prior to the expiration of such two-year period or (y) the Borrower was aware that such event, action or circumstance resulted in a Default or Event of Default and did not deliver a notice of Default or Event of Default to the Administrative Agent in respect thereof; and

(B) neither (1) a breach or default by any Loan Party under Section 6.10(a) nor (2) any Event of Default arising from the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made as a condition to any Credit Event or any deemed Credit Event will constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Term Loan unless and until the Required Revolving Lenders have accelerated the Revolving Loans, terminated the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and demanded repayment of, or otherwise accelerated, the Indebtedness or other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and have not rescinded such demand or acceleration.

Section 7.02. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of Section 6.10 as of the end of any relevant fiscal quarter, the Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the date that is 15 Business Days after the date the Pricing Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c)) to issue Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to its equity for such Capital Stock (the “Cure Amount”), and thereupon the

157

Borrower’s compliance with Section 6.10 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.10, including determining compliance with Section 6.10 as of the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the requirements of Section 6.10 shall be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 6.10 shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.10 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed there shall be no pro forma or other reduction of the amount of Indebtedness by the amount of any Cure Amount for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.10 for the fiscal quarter in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised (other than, with respect to any future period, to the extent of any portion of such Cure Amount that is actually applied to repay Indebtedness)). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in each four fiscal quarter period there shall be a period of at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised and (y) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with Section 6.10; provided, that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Revolving Loan or issue any Letter of Credit from and after such time as the Administrative Agent has received the relevant Pricing Certificate (or such Pricing Certificate was required to be delivered) evidencing a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio that is not in compliance with Section 6.10 when applicable unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received and such Cure Amount causes the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.10.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively, as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents and which such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08); provided, that neither Agent shall be required to take any discretionary action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, (c) each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any discretionary action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the relevant Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the relevant Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action and (d) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose,

158

any information relating to the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable to any Secured Party 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 under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under 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 such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent 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 Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying in writing the relevant Lenders, each Issuing Bank (if applicable) and the Borrower. If any Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon ten days’ notice, remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under paragraphs (g)(i) or (h) of Section 7.01), to appoint a successor (other than a Disqualified Institution) which shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States or any State or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of resignation of the relevant Agent specified by such Agent in its notice (which shall not be less than 30 days after receipt of such notice), the

159

resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the relevant Lenders and obtaining the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing), a successor agent from among the Required Lenders. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the successor agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders (or one or more Lenders designated by them) shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Xxxxxxx appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the obligations under Section 5.09 are satisfied, the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.

Solely in the circumstance where (a) the Borrower has incurred one or more Classes of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (b) JPMorgan or any of its Affiliates then acting as the Swingline Lender and/or the Issuing Bank has not agreed in writing to continue to serve in the capacity of Swingline Lender and/or Issuing Bank for such Class(es) of Other Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments with a stated Maturity Date later than the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitments, then upon the written request of the Borrower (which must be approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by the Required Lenders), JPMorgan or any of its Affiliates shall resign as Agents, with such resignation becoming effective immediately upon the appointment of (and acceptance by) a Person reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Xxxxxxx as successor Agents. Upon any such appointment and acceptance by successor Agents as provided in the foregoing sentence, the provisions of the third, fourth and fifth sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply to the resigning Agents.

None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “bookrunner” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or any other Lender 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 the Agents, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or any other Lender 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Xxxxxx failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a

160

change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Obligations and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Lenders and each such Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due such Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.05.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any relevant Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any relevant Lender to authorize such Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any such Lender in any such proceeding.

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

It is understood and agreed that:

(a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a "Payment") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and

161

including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 8.14 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees that in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount (it being understood and agreed that aggregate Obligations of the Loan Parties shall not be increased as a result of the application of this clause (c)) and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligation owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from (or on behalf of ) the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Payment.

(d) Each party's obligations under clauses (a) through (c) above shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any changes thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise, and the relevant Commitment (by Class) of, and principal amount of the relevant Loans (by Class) (and related interest amount and fees with respect to such Loan) owing and paid to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In addition, each such Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the applicable forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.21(e) and/or (f) hereof, as applicable, as if such participant was a Lender hereunder.

(g) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.04 is made to any Disqualified Institution and/or any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Bona Fide Debt Fund) and/or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained, in each case, without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Loan and/or participation in any Letter of Credit and/or Swingline Loan held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Loan and/or participation by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Loans and/or participations and/or (C) require such Disqualified Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as applicable, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower, (II) in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Borrower shall not be liable to the relevant Disqualified Person under Section 2.17 if any SOFR Loan owing to such Disqualified Person is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (III) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.05 (except that (x) no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.05 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (y) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days following such transfer; provided that, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following such transfer, then such excess amount shall either be (x) contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled)) and (IV) in no event shall such Disqualified Person be entitled to receive amounts to which it would otherwise be entitled under Section 2.07. Further, whether or not the Borrower has taken any action described in the preceding sentence, (A) no Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to (x) receive information (including financial statements) provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (B) (x) for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to

167

or under any Loan Document, no Disqualified Person shall have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, majority Lenders under any Class, all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, have taken any action, and (y) each Disqualified Person shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons (1) in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party and/or (2) for purposes of any matter requiring the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender and (C) no Disqualified Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 9.03. For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.04(g) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person. Nothing in this Section 9.04(g) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.

(h) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Person other than a Disqualified Institution, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided, that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Xxxxxx as a party hereto. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no such assignment by a Lender shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle other than any Disqualified Institution (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the 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 SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC 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 SPC 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 (x) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, (y) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (z) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender of record hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder (other than in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch auctions open to all Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any negotiated transaction), in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that:

168

(i) any Term Loans acquired by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided, that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and the principal repayment installments with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so cancelled as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity);

(ii) any Term Loans acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution); provided, that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and the principal repayment installments with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so contributed and cancelled as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity);

(iii) the relevant Affiliated Lender and assigning Lender shall have executed an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance;

(iv) after giving effect to such assignment (and any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) and to all other assignments to all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided, that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (k)(iv) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap; provided, further, that to the extent that any assignment to any Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void;

(v) in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch auction and/or open market purchase conducted by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to fund such assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch auction or the confirmation of such open market purchase, as applicable; and

(vi) by its acquisition of Term Loans, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A) the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with the other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; provided, that (x) such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to vote (and the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall not be so disregarded) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that requires the vote of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be, and (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (1) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders of the same Class that are not Affiliated Lenders or (2) deprive

169

any 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

(B) such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (i) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II); and

(vii) no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and/or any subsidiary and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.04(k).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Debt Fund Affiliate, and any Debt Fund Affiliate may, from time to time, purchase Term Loans (x) on a non-pro rata basis through Dutch Auctions open to all applicable Lenders or (y) on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases without the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in subclauses (i) through (vii) of this clause (k); provided, that the Term Loans and unused commitments and other Loans of all Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document. Any Term Loans acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Term Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon thereof); provided, that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and the principal repayment installments with respect to such Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law is 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 Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided, that in connection with any matter that proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is different than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates, (a) such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons and their successors and permitted assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction; provided, that if (i) one or more Indemnitees shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to one or more other Indemnitees or (ii) the representation of the Indemnitees (or any portion thereof) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then such expenses shall include the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one separate counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction), and liabilities of such Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with (A) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (B) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (C) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates) or (D) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries, or any liability under or relating to any Environmental Laws or relating to any Hazardous Materials related in any way to the Borrower or the subsidiaries; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such costs, expenses or liabilities (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Related Parties) or material breach of its (or its Related Parties’) obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (y) relate to the presence or Release of Hazardous Materials that first occur at any property owned by the Borrower or any subsidiary after such property is transferred to any Indemnitee or its successors or assigns by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer or (z) resulted from any dispute solely among Indemnitees and not involving the Borrower, or its Affiliates. The Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for fees and expenses unless such Indemnitee provides the Borrower with an

171

undertaking in which such Xxxxxxxxxx agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to the extent any of the foregoing items in clauses (x) through (z) occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.21.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Arrangers, the Documentation Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any other Indemnitee related thereto under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05 (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender (other than, in the case of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders, any Term Lender) severally agrees to pay to such Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or such related Indemnitee, such Lender’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 an Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or a related Indemnitee in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based on its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans, Unused Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Term Loan Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, any Indemnitee or any of their respective Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that such waiver of special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages shall not otherwise limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 9.05 to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Banks. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

Section 9.06. Right of Setoff; Payments Set Aside. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its subsidiaries) to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or Issuing Bank may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or Issuing Bank; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

172

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each relevant Lender or Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any relevant Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other 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 Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have under applicable law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.26, clauses (b)(i) through (viii) below and the remaining provisions of this Section 9.08, and except for those actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Agents, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and are affected by such waiver, amendment or modification; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) reduce the principal amount of, or extend or waive the final scheduled maturity date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan held by any Lender or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement owing to any Lender, forgive any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement held by any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender (but not the Required Lenders) (it being understood that any change to (A) the component definitions used in the definition of “Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio” and affecting the determination of interest and any waiver of default interest and/or (B) the MFN Provision (including any component definition thereof) shall only require the consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders),

173

(iv) (A) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Effective Date and this Section 9.08 may be amended to reflect such extension of credit) or (B) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Revolving Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Revolving Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Effective Date and this Section 9.08 may be amended to reflect such extension of credit); provided that any amendment described in this clause (B) shall not require the consent of the Required Lenders,

(vi) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender (but not the Required Lenders), as the case may be,

(viii) other than in connection with (A) a debtor-in-possession financing or the use of cash collateral in any insolvency proceeding or (B) the implementation of any capital lease and/or purchase money financing and/or any “asset-based” revolving credit facility or similar financing, subordinate (x) the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing any of the Loans to the Liens securing any other Indebtedness for borrowed money or (y) any Loans in contractual right of payment to any senior Indebtedness, in either the case of subclause (x) or (y), unless each adversely affected Lender has been offered a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on the amount of Loans that are adversely affected thereby held by such Lender) of the senior Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees, any arrangement or restructuring fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”) as offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the senior Indebtedness and to the extent such adversely affected Lender decides to participate in the senior Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than Ancillary Fees) of the senior Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the senior Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection with providing the senior Indebtedness pursuant to a written offer made to each such adversely affected Lender describing the material terms of the arrangements pursuant to which the senior Indebtedness is to be provided, which offer shall remain open to each adversely affected Lender for a period of not less than three Business Days; provided, however, that (1) if any such adversely affected Lender does not accept an offer to provide its pro rata share of such senior Indebtedness within the time specified for acceptance of such offer being made, such adversely affected Lender shall be deemed to have declined such offer and (2) any subordination expressly permitted by the Loan Documents shall not be restricted by subclauses (x) and (y) above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendment, modification, waiver or other action which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, except that (x) no amendment, waiver or consent relating to clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) may be effected and the principal amount of any Loan of any Defaulting Lender may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, modification, waiver or other action that by its terms adversely affects any Defaulting Lender in its capacity as a Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from, and is more adverse to such Defaulting Lender or than it is to, other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in addition to any credit extensions and related Incremental Amendments or Refinancing Amendments effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.26 or Section 2.27, as applicable, this Agreement (including this Section 9.08 and Section 2.18) may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (A) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the relevant Term Loans and relevant Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and Fees in respect thereof and (B) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new credit facilities and/or (ii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to add terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default), in connection with the addition of any Loan or Commitment hereunder, any Incremental Equivalent Debt, and/or any Refinancing Amendments, that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the

175

Administrative Agent (it being understood that, where applicable, any such amendment may be effectuated as part of an Incremental Amendment and/or a Refinancing Amendment).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to Section 2.13(f) relating to the application of any mandatory prepayment that results in a Class of Term Lenders being allocated a lesser repayment than such Class would otherwise have been entitled to in the absence of such amendment, modification or waiver, shall require the consent of the Required Lenders for such affected Class (except in the case where additional extensions of terms loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the relevant Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Effective Date).

(e) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the outstanding Term Loans of a given Class (any such Term Loans, the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder which shall be Loans of a new Class hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans (plus any applicable Excess Permitted Refinancing Amount), (ii) [reserved], (iii) other than with respect to the Inside Maturity Amount and/or any Customary Term A Loan, the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing, (iv) the borrower of such Replacement Term Loans shall be the Borrower or the same as the borrower of such Refinanced Term Loans and (v) except as otherwise permitted herein (including with respect to margin, MFN protection, pricing, call protection, maturity and fees), the representation and warranty, covenant and default terms of such Replacement Term Loans, if not substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans, must be, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the definitive documentation for such Replacement Term Loans is finalized) to the lenders or investors providing such Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that any terms contained in such Replacement Term Loans (i) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans, (ii) any covenants or provisions which are then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith at the time the definitive documentation for such Replacement Term Loans is finalized), including any financial maintenance covenant applicable to any Customary Term A Loan (which shall constitute a “then-current market term” for Customary Term A Loans) or (iii) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement effectuated in reliance on Section 9.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided, further, that in respect of this clause (e), any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and Debt Fund Affiliate shall be permitted (without Administrative Agent consent) to provide any Replacement Term Loans, it being understood that in connection with such Replacement Term Loans, the relevant Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or Debt Fund Affiliate, as applicable, shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to such Persons under Section 9.04 as if such Replacement Term Loans were Term Loans.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.08:

(i) if following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within two Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment);

176

(iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender (other than the relevant Lenders providing Loans under such Sections), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to (A) effect the provisions of Sections 2.26, 2.27 and/or 9.08(e), or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifying that any waiver, amendment or modification may be made with the consent or approval of the Administrative Agent and/or (B) in connection with the establishment of a tranche of Customary Term A Loans under this Agreement pursuant to any Incremental Amendment and/or any Refinancing Amendment, incorporate a “financial maintenance covenant” that only applies for the benefit of the lenders in respect of such facility (but not any other Lender); it being understood that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent are hereby authorized under this clause (iii)(C) to amend such provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, Section 7.01 and this Section 9.08) as may be necessary to establish such financial maintenance covenant and ensure that only the Lenders in respect of such Customary Term A Loans have rights with respect thereto; it being understood and agreed that any Term Loan that constitutes a Customary Term A Loan may include one or more financial covenants that do not apply for the benefit of any Lender that does not hold such Customary Term A Loan;

(iv) it is understood and agreed that any Incremental Amendment may provide that with respect to any Class of Loans and/or Commitments that is structured as a “delayed draw” or similar facility, (i) any condition precedent to the funding of any Loan thereunder and/or (ii) any Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any remedy in respect thereof) arising as a result of any inaccuracy of any representation and/or warranty (including any certification) made in connection with the satisfaction of any such condition precedent, in each case, may be waived, amended or modified solely with the consent of a majority of the holders of such Loans and/or Commitments (or such other percentage of such holders as may be required in the amendment implementing such Class of Loans and/or Commitments (and without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other Lenders));

(g) Each waiver, amendment, modification, supplement or consent made or given pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and such waiver, amendment, modification or supplement shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans and Commitments.

(h) (i) This Agreement may be amended in the manner prescribed in Section 1.12 and Section 2.06(i) and other provision of this Agreement may be amended in a manner reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to be necessary to give effect to or otherwise to implement any such change required by Section 1.12 or Section 2.06(i), as applicable, (ii) the definition of “EURIBO Rate” may be amended in the manner prescribed in clause (b) thereof and other provision of this Agreement may be amended in a manner reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to be necessary to give effect

(i) It is understood that:

(i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the 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 (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank or an Affiliate of a Regulated Bank or (y) any Lender that is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender as of the Effective Date; provided, that in the case of clauses (x) and (y) an Affiliate of a Regulated Bank or a Revolving Lender shall only be excluded by virtue of this parenthetical to the extent that (1) all of the equity of such Affiliate is directly or indirectly owned by either (I) such Regulated Bank or Revolving Lender, as applicable or (II) a parent entity that also directly or indirectly owns all of the equity of such Regulated Bank or Revolving Lender, as applicable, and (2) such Affiliate is a securities broker or dealer registered with the SEC under section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that, as a result of its 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 the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall, unless the Borrower otherwise elects (in its sole discretion), have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments 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;

(ii) for purposes of determining whether a Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof 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 the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party or any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, collectively, represent less than 5% 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 Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (1) the Loans or the Commitments are 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 Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (2) the Loans or the Commitments would be a

“Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (3) the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivative transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, collectively, represent less than 5% of the components of such index; and

(iii) in connection with any such determination, (A) each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to ascertain whether any Lender is a Net Short Lender.

Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Engagement Letter (to the extent provided in Section 2.05(b)) and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.

Each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, the Loan Documents and the terms and substance thereof, except that the Information and the Loan Documents may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided, that such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender that discloses any Information or any Loan Document pursuant to this clause (c) shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law), (d) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16 (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the written consent of the Borrower, (g) to any Rating Agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such Rating Agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the Loan Documents and/or any such Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person), (h) to any credit insurer (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such credit insurer shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16 with respect to the Loan Documents and/or any such Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person), (i) for the limited purpose of a “tombstone” advertisement or (j) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or its subsidiaries (or their respective agents or representatives) and related to the Borrower or its subsidiaries or business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, other than by reason of disclosure by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in breach of this Section 9.16.

Section 9.17. Release of Guarantees and Collateral. (a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agents to, and the Agents agree to:

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (v) if such property ceases to constitute, or never constituted, Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (w) upon the Termination Date (and, concurrently therewith, to release all the Loan Parties from their obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those that specifically survive the Termination Date)), (x) that is sold (or disposed of) or to be sold (or disposed of) as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any disposition that constitutes a Permitted Asset Sale or is permitted by Section 6.05 or any disposition that does not constitute an Asset Sale but is otherwise not prohibited under this Agreement) to any Person other than a Loan Party (it being understood that the Lien on the assets of any transferee Loan Party shall only secure such Loan Party’s Obligations), (y) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (z) owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (iii) below;

(ii) at the request of the Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by paragraphs (a), (d), (e), (f), (h), (i), (l), (p), (q), (r), (s), (t), (w), (y), (z) and (dd) of the definition of Permitted Liens;

181

(iii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided, that (A) no such release shall occur if, after giving effect to such release, any other Indebtedness of the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary would no longer be permitted under an applicable provision of Section 6.01 by virtue of the fact that such Indebtedness is guaranteed by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party and (B) the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in paragraph (a)(ii)(A) of the definition thereof shall not be permitted unless, at the time such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of such type, (1) (I) no Event of Default exists or would occur as a result thereof and (II) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such Person to be an Excluded Subsidiary of such type, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person for purposes of Section 6.03 (as if such Person were then newly acquired) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Person attributable to the Borrower’s Capital Stock therein as reasonably estimated by the Borrower and such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 6.03 at such time or (2) the relevant disposition of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor constitutes a good faith disposition to a bona fide unaffiliated third party (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) for fair market value and for a bona fide business purpose; it being understood and agreed that this proviso shall not limit the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor that (X) otherwise qualifies as an Excluded Subsidiary for reasons other than the exception set forth in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary” or (Y) ceases to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; and

(iv) to enter into (x) each Intercreditor Agreement described in the definition thereof and (y) the intercreditor arrangements contemplated by the definitions of “Receivable Facility” and Sections 2.26 and 2.27.

(b) Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents or enter into intercreditor agreements, in each case pursuant to this Section 9.17. In each case as specified in this Section 9.17, the relevant Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or to enter into intercreditor arrangements, in each case, and this Section 9.17.

Section 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Section 9.19. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or any Hedging Obligation (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, or otherwise under or with respect to any Loan Document or any Obligation, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

182

Section 9.20. Other Liens on Collateral; Terms of Intercreditor Agreement; Etc.

(a) PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF EACH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH SECURED PARTY AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH SECURED PARTY, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT(S).

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.20 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH SECURED PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NO AGENT (AND NONE OF ITS AFFILIATES) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY SECURED PARTY AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE RELEVANT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(d) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.20 SHALL APPLY WITH EQUAL FORCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, TO THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 9.17(A)(IV).

Section 9.21. Judgment Currency. (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the Applicable Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the US Dollar Equivalent thereof, determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the US Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

183

Section 9.22. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 9.23. Certain ERISA Matters.

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

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

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

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

184

of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

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

Section 9.24. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Transactions 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 “US 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 US or any other state of the US):

(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 US 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 US 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 US or a state of the US. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a US 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 US Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the US or a state of the US. 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 9.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC ACT Affiliate” shall mean an “affiliate” (as defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)).

185

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

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

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

INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

THIS INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of [__], 20[__], made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Party” and, together with any entity that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the “Parties”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent (as defined below), for the benefit of the Senior Creditors (as defined below). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Dayforce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) and the other parties thereto, have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 29, 2024 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to the Borrower and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, all as contemplated therein (with the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Collateral Agent being herein called the “Lender Creditors”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower and/or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more Hedging Agreements (as defined below) with one or more Hedge Creditors (as defined below);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Borrower (but not with respect to its primary obligations as Borrower under the Credit Agreement) and each Subsidiary Guarantor have jointly and severally guaranteed to the Secured Parties (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) the payment when due of all Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement);

WHEREAS, additional Parties may from time to time become parties hereto in order to allow for certain extensions of credit in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of the Parties desires to execute this Agreement to satisfy the conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Parties and the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) hereby agree as follows:

1. The Subordinated Debt (as defined in Section 6 hereof) and all payments of principal, interest and all other amounts thereunder are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness, to the extent, and in the manner, set forth herein. The foregoing shall apply notwithstanding the availability of collateral to the Senior Creditors or the holders of Subordinated Debt or the actual date and time of execution, delivery, recordation, filing or perfection of any security interests granted with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Debt, or the lien or priority of payment thereof, and in any instance wherein the Senior Indebtedness or any claim for the Senior Indebtedness is subordinated, avoided or disallowed, in whole or in part, under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law. In the event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding

pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), the Senior Indebtedness shall include all interest accrued on the Senior Indebtedness, in accordance with and at the rates specified in the Senior Indebtedness, both for periods before and for periods after the commencement of any of such proceedings, even if the claim for such interest is not allowed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

2. Each Party (as a lender of any Subordinated Debt) hereby agrees that until all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash:

(a) Such Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 6 hereof), which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Required Senior Creditors’ sole discretion, commence, or join or participate in, any Enforcement Action (as defined in Section 6 hereof).

(b) In the event that (i) all or any portion of any Senior Indebtedness becomes due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) upon notice by the Administrative Agent following any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any event of default under, and as defined in, any other Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same), then exists or would result from such payment on the Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement), or (iii) such Party receives any payment or prepayment of principal, interest or any other amount, in whole or in part, of (or with respect to) the Subordinated Debt in violation of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same), then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which shall be payable or deliverable with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Debt or which has been received by any Party shall be held in trust by such Party for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Creditors for application to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness (after giving effect to the relative payment and security priorities of such Senior Indebtedness), to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all sums due under the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Creditors. In any such event, the Senior Creditors may, but shall not be obligated to, demand, claim and collect any such payment or distribution that would, but for these subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinated Debt. In the event of the occurrence of any event referred to in subclauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the second preceding sentence of this clause (b) and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been fully paid in cash and satisfied and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Senior Creditors have been performed in full, no payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) shall be made to or accepted by any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more of the events referred to in subclauses (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of this clause (b) is in existence, the Required Senior Creditors may agree in writing that payments may be made with respect to the Subordinated Debt which would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the provisions contained above, provided that any such waiver shall be specifically limited to the respective payment or payments which the Required Senior Creditors agree may be so paid to any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt.

(c) If such Party which is not a Loan Party shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which is a Loan Party, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness and the lien of the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, and such Party hereby waives any and all rights it may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash.

(d) In any case commenced by or against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal, foreign, state or local statute (a “Reorganization Proceeding”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Required Senior Creditors shall have the exclusive right to exercise any voting rights in respect of the claims of such Party against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(e) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made (whether by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.

(f) After the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, such Party shall not object to the entry of any order or orders approving any cash collateral stipulations, adequate protection stipulations or similar stipulations executed by the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) Such Party waives any marshalling rights with respect to the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Any payments made to, or received by, any Party in respect of any guaranty or security in support of the Subordinated Debt shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and applied on the same basis as payments made directly by the obligor under such Subordinated Debt. To the extent that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which is a Loan Party (other than the respective obligor or obligors which are already Parties hereto) provides a guaranty or any security in support of any Subordinated Debt, the Party which is the lender of the respective Subordinated Debt will cause each such Person to become a Party hereto (if such Person is not already a Party hereto) promptly after the date of the execution and delivery of the respective guarantee or security documentation, provided that any failure to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 3 will have no effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained herein (which shall apply to all payments received with respect to any guarantee or security for any Subordinated Debt, whether or not the Person furnishings such guarantee or security is a Party hereto).

4. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no payments will be accepted by it in respect of the Subordinated Debt (unless promptly turned over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as contemplated by Section 2 above), to the extent such payments would be prohibited under any Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same).

5. In addition to the foregoing agreements, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) any Intercompany Debt (and any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing same) may be pledged, and delivered for pledge, by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any Security Document to which the Borrower or the respective such Restricted Subsidiary is, or at any time in the future becomes, a party and (y) with respect to all Intercompany Debt so pledged, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies with respect to such Intercompany Debt to the maximum extent provided in the various Security Documents (in accordance with the terms thereof and subject to the requirements of applicable law).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Pari Passu Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Pari Passu Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Pari Passu Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Pari Passu Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(b)

Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Pari Passu Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Pari Passu Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each Pari Passu Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of Pari Passu Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Secured Credit Document or any other Pari Passu Security Documents to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or otherwise held by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or pursuant the provisions of the Credit Agreement (the “Non-Shared Collateral”) shall be applied as specified in the Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral, and it is understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not restrict the rights of any Credit Agreement Secured Party to pursue enforcement proceedings, exercise remedies or make determinations with respect to the Non-Shared Collateral in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 2.02

Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a)

Only the Controlling Collateral Agent may act with respect to any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral). At any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is the Controlling Collateral Agent, no Additional Secured Party shall or shall instruct any Collateral Agent to, and neither the Additional Collateral Agent nor any other Non-Controlling Collateral Agent shall, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect


	-9-

to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Additional Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the Credit Agreement Collateral Documents, may take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral at such time.

(b)

With respect to any Shared Collateral at any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Controlling Collateral Agent, (i) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and (ii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Pari Passu Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Pari Passu Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable Additional Security Documents, may take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral.

(c)

Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of Pari Passu Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Shared Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object (or support any other Person in contesting, protesting or objecting) to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to exercise such rights. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Pari Passu Secured Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral (including, without limitation, any Non-Shared Collateral).

(d)

Each of the Collateral Agents and Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement.

Section 2.03

No Interference; Payment Over.

(a)

Each of the Collateral Agents and Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Pari Passu Obligations of any Series or any Pari Passu Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Pari Passu Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party to exercise, and shall not exercise, any right, remedy or power


	-10-

with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari Passu Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other Pari Passu Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) if not the Controlling Collateral Agent, it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

(b)

Each of the Collateral Agents, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any Proceeds in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Pari Passu Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the Pari Passu Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral or Proceeds in trust for the other Pari Passu Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral or Proceeds, as the case may be, to the Controlling Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof.

Section 2.04

Release of Liens.

(a)

If, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each other Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of Pari Passu Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens of the Controlling Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that (i) the Liens in favor of each Collateral Agent for the benefit of each related Series of Pari Passu Secured Parties secured by such Shared Collateral attach to any such Proceeds of such sale or disposition with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Pari Passu Secured Parties as existed prior to the commencement of such sale or other disposition, and any such Liens shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement until application thereof pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01.

(b)

Each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole costs and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 2.04.

(c)

Each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative and Non-Controlling Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, hereby irrevocably appoints the Controlling Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Controlling Collateral Agent, which appointment is coupled with an interest with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative, Collateral Agent or Pari Passu Secured Party, to take any and all appropriate


	-11-

action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05

Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a)

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be enforceable as contemplated by Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

(b)

If the Borrower and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case or proceeding (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) to the Borrower or such Grantor under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting (other than the Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will not raise, join or support any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Controlling Collateral Agent (in the case of the Additional Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall then oppose or object (or join in or support any objection) to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Pari Passu Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Pari Passu Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Pari Passu Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Pari Passu Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Pari Passu Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Pari Passu Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Pari Passu Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Pari Passu Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Pari Passu Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Pari Passu Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01, and (D) if any Pari Passu Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that this Agreement shall not limit the right of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of each Series to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Pari Passu Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Pari Passu Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Pari Passu Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any


	-12-

adequate protection granted to such Pari Passu Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

Section 2.06

Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Pari Passu Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement or avoidance of a preference, fraudulent transfer or other avoidance action under the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Pari Passu Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

Section 2.07

Insurance. As between the Pari Passu Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation, expropriation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral and the Controlling Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds to any such adjustment, settlement or award in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.08

Refinancings, etc. The Pari Passu Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced (in whole or in part) or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any Pari Passu Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for in Section 2.01(a) or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee and Agent for Perfection.

(a)

The Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other Pari Passu Secured Party for which such Possessory Collateral is Shared Collateral and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09; provided that at any time the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), at the request of the Additional Collateral Agent that is the Controlling Collateral Agent, promptly deliver all Possessory Collateral to such Additional Collateral Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such Additional Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is requested in writing by the Controlling Collateral Agent and required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).

(b)

The Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other Pari Passu Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.


	-13-

(c)

The duties or responsibilities of the Controlling Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other Pari Passu Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Pari Passu Secured Parties thereon.

Section 2.10

(a)

Without the prior written consent of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, each Additional Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, agrees that no Additional Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Additional Security Document would be prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b)

Without the prior written consent of the Additional Collateral Agent, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees that no Credit Agreement Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Credit Agreement Collateral Document would be prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement.

(c)

In making determinations required by this Section 2.10, each Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by Sections 2.10(a) or (b) as the case may be.

Article III

Each Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Pari Passu Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

The Controlling Collateral Agent

Section 4.01

Authority.


	-14-

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any Controlling Collateral Agent to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or any other Person, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct any Controlling Collateral Agent, except that each Controlling Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.

(b)

In furtherance of the foregoing, each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Pari Passu Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Controlling Collateral Agent is the collateral agent and/or administrative agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Pari Passu Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari Passu Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Pari Passu Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Pari Passu Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Except with respect to any actions expressly prohibited or required to be taken by this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Pari Passu Obligations or any other Pari Passu Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the Pari Passu Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Pari Passu Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Pari Passu Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Pari Passu Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Pari Passu Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Pari Passu Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Loan Parties or any of their subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Pari Passu Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of Pari Passu Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

Section 4.02

Rights as a Pari Passu Secured Party.

(ii)

the Borrower shall have (x) delivered to each Collateral Agent true and complete copies of each of the Additional Documents relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and (y) identified in a certificate of a Responsible Officer the obligations to be designated as Additional Obligations and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certified that such obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured on a pari passu basis with the then-extant Pari Passu Obligations and by the terms of the then extant Secured Credit Documents;

Section 5.15

Integration. This Agreement together with the other Secured Credit Documents and the Pari Passu Security Documents represents the agreement of each of the Grantors and the Pari Passu Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, or any other Pari Passu Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Credit Documents.

Section 5.16

Additional Grantors. The Borrower agrees that, if any subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, they will promptly (or within the time period prescribed by the Credit Agreement) cause such subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Xxxxx XXX. Upon such execution and delivery, such subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.

(2) will not contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Documents or otherwise;

(3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above, will not object to the forbearance by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement Action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case so long as any proceeds received by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agents or other First Lien Claimholders in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.1; and

(3) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including any

(1) agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of rights or remedies under the First Lien Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any collection or Disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien securing any First Lien Obligations or any First Lien Collateral Document or subordinate the priority of the First Lien Obligations to the Second Lien Obligations or grant the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations;

(2) hereby waives any and all rights it or its Related Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior Lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Claimholders; and

(3) hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents.

(e) The Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Obligors that have guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of Initial Second Lien Documents

and applicable law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, prior to the termination of the Standstill Period or as otherwise prohibited pursuant to the second proviso in Section 3.1(a)(1)); provided that (i) any such exercise shall not be directly or indirectly inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6 and any provision prohibiting or restricting the Second Lien Claimholders from taking various actions or making various objections) and (ii) in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Claimholder of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Initial Second Lien Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Lien Collateral Agent or other Second Lien Claimholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Collateral, including any right of setoff, or otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) In connection with any Enforcement Action by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or any other exercise by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent of rights or remedies in respect of the Collateral (including any Disposition of any of the Collateral by any Obligor, with the consent of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an “event of default” under the First Lien Documents), in each case, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized (at the cost of the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the applicable First Lien Financing Document and without any consent, sanction, authority or further confirmation from the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other Second Lien Claimholder or any Obligor): (i) to release any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or any other claim over the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action or such other exercise of rights or remedies, in which case the Liens or any other claim over the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action, if any, of each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent as the Liens or other claims of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and each other First Lien Collateral Agent are so released (and the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, be considered necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases); and (ii) if the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action consists of the equity interests of any Obligor, to release (x) such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor from all or any part of its First Lien Obligations, in which case such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent from its Second Lien Obligations, and (y) any Liens or other claims on any assets of such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor, in which case the Liens or other claims on such assets of each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent as such Liens of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and each other First Lien Collateral Agent are so released (and the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, be considered necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases). Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor may request to effectively confirm the foregoing releases upon delivery to the Second Lien Collateral Agents of copies of such termination statements, releases and other documents used to effect such releases with respect to the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations from a Responsible Officer of the requesting party. The proceeds of any such Disposition shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1.

(b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (collectively, a “Disposition”) of any Collateral by any Obligor permitted under the terms of both the First Lien Financing Documents and the Second Lien Financing Documents (other than in connection with an Enforcement Action or other exercise of any First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies in respect of the Collateral, which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a) above), the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Obligor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, in each case other than in connection with, or following, the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Obligor under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; provided that such release by such Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall not extend to or otherwise affect any of the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders to the proceeds from any such Disposition. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor may request to effectively confirm the foregoing releases upon delivery to the Second Lien Collateral Agents of copies of such termination statements, releases and other documents used to effect such release with respect to the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer of the relevant Obligor stating that such disposition has been consummated in compliance with the terms of Initial Second Lien Document.

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Second Lien Collateral Agent or such Second Lien Claimholders or in the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Obligor from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any additional guarantees from any Obligor or any subsidiary of the Borrower, then each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall be granted an additional guaranty.

5.2 Insurance and Condemnation Awards. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the First Lien Obligors under the First Lien Financing Documents, to settle or adjust claims over any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the First Lien Obligors under the First Lien Financing Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders

pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents, including any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement among the First Lien Collateral Agents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, First Lien Letters of Credit and obligations under First Lien Hedge Agreements governing any First Lien Secured Hedging Obligations) and thereafter, if the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Second Lien Obligors under the Second Lien Financing Documents, to the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Collateral Documents, and thereafter, if the Discharge of the Second Lien Obligations has occurred, to the owner of the subject property, as directed by the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3 Amendments to First Lien Financing Documents and Second Lien Financing Documents.

(a) The First Lien Financing Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the First Lien Financing Documents and any First Lien Obligations thereunder may be Refinanced (including in accordance with Section 5.6 below), in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness execute a Joinder Agreement and any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent, contravene the provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3(a) and for the avoidance of doubt, the First Lien Financing Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and/or Refinanced from time to time in accordance with their terms in order to effect the making or provision of (x) any First Lien Incremental Facility and/or (y) any First Lien Replacement Term Loan or First Lien Replacement Revolving Facility (or similar term), in each case, as and to the extent provided in the First Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, without notice to, or the consent of, any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder.

(b) The Second Lien Financing Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Second Lien Financing Documents and any Second Lien Obligations thereunder may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders (in each case, except to the extent such notice to or consent is otherwise expressly required under the First Lien Financing Documents), all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness execute a Joinder Agreement and prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations no such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall, without the consent of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, contravene the provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) and for the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Financing Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and/or Refinanced from time to time in accordance with their terms in order to effect the making or provision of (x) any Second Lien Incremental Facility and/or (y) any Second Lien Replacement Term Loan (or similar term) (each as defined in the Initial Second Lien Document as in effect on the date hereof), in each case, as and to the extent provided in the Initial Second Lien Document, without notice to, or the consent of, any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder.

(c) In the event that any First Lien Collateral Agent enters into any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification in respect of or replaces any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for purposes of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the applicable First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders, or any Obligor thereunder (including the release of any Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations), then such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification in a manner that is applicable to all First Lien Claimholders and all First Lien Obligations shall apply automatically to any comparable provisions of each Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Lien Collateral Agent, Second Lien Claimholder or any Obligor; provided, however that (1) such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification does not (A) remove assets subject to any Liens on the Collateral securing any of the Second Lien Obligations or release any such Liens, except to the extent such release is permitted or required by Section 5.1 and provided there is a concurrent release of the corresponding Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, (B) materially adversely affect the rights or duties of any Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent or (C) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders or the interest of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders in the Collateral unless the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders that have a Lien on the applicable Collateral are affected in a like manner, and (2) written notice of such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification shall have been given to each Second Lien Collateral Agent within 15 Business Days of the effectiveness thereof (it being understood that the failure to deliver such notice shall not impair the effectiveness of any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification).

5.4 Confirmation of Subordination in Second Lien Collateral Documents. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document includes and shall include, as applicable, the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [__], 20[__] (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Dayforce, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, [__], as Initial Second Lien Document Collateral Agent, and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

5.5 Non-Fiduciary Bailee/Agent for Perfection; Shared Collateral Documents.

(a) Each Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent on behalf of and for the benefit of each other Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) solely for the purpose of perfecting, or improving the priority of, the security interest granted under the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions

of this Section 5.5; provided that, in the case of any such possession or control by any Second Lien Collateral Agent, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any restriction set forth herein on such possession or control or of any breach by such Second Lien Collateral Agent of any terms of this Agreement in respect of such possession or control.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, each First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents as if the Liens of any Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of each Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to each First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights under the First Lien Financing Documents.

(c) No Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5 or, in the case of any Second Lien Collateral Agent, the other provisions hereof (including the turnover provisions set forth in Section 4.2). The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5 and, in the case of any First Lien Collateral Agent, delivering the Pledged Collateral to the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (e) below or, in the case of any Second Lien Collateral Agent, delivering the Pledged Collateral to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof (including the turnover provisions set forth in Section 4.2).

(d) Each Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Claimholders, hereby waives and releases each other Collateral Agent and each other Claimholder from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to any Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.5 as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided that, in the case of any possession or control of any Pledged Collateral by any Second Lien Collateral Agent, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any restriction set forth herein on such possession or control or of any breach by such Second Lien Collateral Agent of any terms of this Agreement in respect of such possession or control. None of the First Lien Collateral Agents or any other First Lien Claimholders shall have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Shared Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, and it is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, may differ and that the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders shall be fully entitled to act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of the Second Lien Collateral Agents or the other Second Lien Claimholders.

(e) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession or control (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent, to the extent the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has not occurred and second, upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, to the Obligors to the extent no Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take, at the expense of the Obligors (which expense reimbursement shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable First Lien Document), all other actions reasonably requested by the Directing

Second Lien Collateral Agent in connection with the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Pledged Collateral.

5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of any Series of First Lien Obligations having occurred, the Borrower or any other First Lien Obligor enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Financing Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation of such Series, which Refinancing is permitted hereby and by the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents of any other Series of First Lien Obligations then outstanding and by the terms of the Second Lien Financing Documents, then the Discharge of such Series of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement not to have occurred, and the obligations under such Refinancing of such First Lien Financing Document shall, subject to execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.21, automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations of the Refinanced Series for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the New First Lien Agent shall be a First Lien Collateral Agent of such Refinanced Series (and, if applicable in accordance with the definition of such term, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent) for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Borrower or any other First Lien Obligor stating that the Borrower or such other First Lien Obligor has entered into a Refinancing of any First Lien Financing Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent (such agent, the “New First Lien Agent”)), each Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to, or amendment and restatement of, this Agreement) as the Borrower, such other First Lien Obligor or the New First Lien Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New First Lien Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) in the case of each other Collateral Agent, deliver to the New First Lien Agent (if it is the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent) any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New First Lien Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New First Lien Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the other Collateral Agents and the other Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders.

5.7 Purchase Right.

(a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the First Lien Claimholder’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, any other First Lien Financing Documents, at law or in equity or otherwise, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders, agrees that at any time within thirty (30) days following (i) an acceleration of all the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents or (ii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, the Second Lien Claimholders (other than any Disqualified Institution, as defined in either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Initial Second Lien Document) may request, and upon such request, the First Lien Claimholders will offer each Second Lien Claimholder, the option to purchase at par the entire aggregate outstanding amount (but not less than the entire aggregate outstanding amount) of the First Lien Obligations (and to assume the entire amount of unfunded commitments under the First Lien Financing Documents, if any), at the Purchase Price (together with the deposit of cash collateral as set forth below), without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.7(c), on a pro rata basis among the First Lien Claimholders. The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of: (1) the principal amount of all loans, advances or similar extensions of credit included in the First Lien Obligations (including the unreimbursed amount of all issued letters of credit (including First Lien Letters of Credit), but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit (including the undrawn amount of then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit), all accrued and unpaid interest (including Post-Petition Interest) thereon through the date of purchase and any prepayment penalties or premiums that would be applicable upon prepayment of the First Lien Obligations, (2) the net aggregate

amount then owing to counterparties under First Lien Hedge Agreements governing the First Lien Secured Hedging Obligations and First Lien Banking Services Agreements, including, in the case of such First Lien Hedge Agreements, all amounts owing to the counterparties as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts owed to the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Documents on the date of purchase. The Purchase Price shall be accompanied by delivery to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent of cash collateral in immediately available funds, to be deposited under the sole dominion and control of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, in such amount as the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the First Lien Claimholders in connection with any issued and outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit under the First Lien Financing Documents but in any event not to exceed 105% of the sum of (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all such First Lien Letters of Credit outstanding pursuant to the First Lien Financing Documents and (y) the aggregate facing and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the First Lien Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity). It is understood and agreed that (i) at the time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any First Lien Letter of Credit, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (ii) upon any drawing under any First Lien Letter of Credit, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After giving effect to any payment made as described above in this paragraph (a), those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent as cash collateral, described in this paragraph (a) which exceed 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be returned to the respective purchaser or purchasers, as their interests appear. Furthermore, at such time as all First Lien Letters of Credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above in this paragraph (a) have been made, any excess cash collateral then on deposit with the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent as described above in this paragraph (a) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective purchaser or purchasers, as their interests appear.

(b) The Second Lien Claimholders may irrevocably accept such offer within 30 days of the receipt thereof by the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter to the extent such offer has been accepted. The Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to acquire the entire amount of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7, and may not acquire less than all of such First Lien Obligations. No Disqualified Institution (or similar term) (as defined in either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Initial Second Lien Document) may acquire any First Lien Obligations. If the Second Lien Claimholders timely accept such offer, the right to purchase the First Lien Obligations shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agents and the relevant Second Lien Collateral Agents. If the Second Lien Claimholders reject such offer (or fail to accept such offer within the required timeframe), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Documents and this Agreement. Each First Lien Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification and expense reimbursement provided in the relevant First Lien Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7. Upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent, resign from its role in accordance with the applicable First Lien Document (and comply with any provisions contained therein with respect to successors to such role or the powers granted in connection with such role) and cooperate with an orderly transition of Liens in the Collateral.

(c) The purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 will be without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Lien Claimholders, except

that each First Lien Claimholder shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Second Lien Claimholders that on the date of the purchase, immediately before giving effect to such purchase:

(1) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the First Lien Obligations, and the fees, expenses and other amounts in respect thereof owed to the respective First Lien Claimholders, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations;

(2) that such First Lien Claimholder owns free and clear of any liens and has the right to transfer the First Lien Obligations purported to be owned by it; and

(3) that such First Lien Claimholder has the right to assign the First Lien Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment has been duly authorized and delivered.

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit (or not object to) the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law) on which the First Lien Collateral Agents or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit (or not object to) any Obligor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law (“DIP Financing”), then, each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will raise no objection to, or oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting), such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent) and it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have consented to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including such proposed orders), and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, each Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any customary “carve-out” or administrative charge for professional and United States trustee fees agreed to on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent) and to all adequate protection Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the use of Cash Collateral or the DIP Financing that require a specific treatment of a claim in respect of the Second Lien Obligations for purposes of a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, solely with respect to such treatment and to the extent not otherwise in violation of this Agreement.

(b) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and will raise no objection or oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting, opposing or contesting), and will be deemed to have consented to, (1) any sale, liquidation or other Disposition of Collateral free and clear of its Liens under Section 363, 365 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, and to any motion or order relating to such

sale, liquidation or other Disposition of assets of any Obligor (including any motion or proposed order to retain professionals or set bid or other procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation, or other Disposition), if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to (or not objected to) such sale, liquidation or other Disposition; provided that (1) to the extent the net cash proceeds of such sale or other Disposition are used to pay the principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting First Lien Obligations, or to reimburse disbursements under, or cash collateralize the face amount of, the First Lien Letters of Credit constituting First Lien Obligations, the Liens of the Second Lien Claimholders shall attach to any remaining proceeds on the same basis of priority with respect to any Liens securing the First Lien Obligations in accordance with this Agreement and (2) such motion does not impair the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (provided that the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs in connection with any such credit bid by the Second Lien Claimholders).

(c) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, further agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and will raise no objection or oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting, opposing or contesting), and will be deemed to consent to (1) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the First Lien Obligations made by the Directing First Lien Agent; (2) any exercise by any First Lien Claimholder of the right to credit bid First Lien Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of the Collateral or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law; and (3) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholder relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Collateral. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, further agrees that notice received two (2) Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other Collateral or approving DIP Financing shall be adequate notice.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders agrees that none of them shall (a) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any of the Collateral, in each case without the prior written consent of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, or (b) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by any First Lien Collateral Agent for relief from or modification of such stay.

6.3 Adequate Protection.

(a) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(i) any request by any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection under any Debtor Relief Law;

(ii) any objection by any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Collateral; or

(iii) the allowance and/or payment of interest, fees or other amounts to any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or as adequate protection under Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(i) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral in connection with any use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing, then each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing and providing adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations and such use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and

(ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their respective rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a Lien on such additional collateral that is senior to any Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, is also granted replacement Liens on the Collateral that are senior to any Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that (x) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim that is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders and (y) any payment on account of such administrative expense claim will be deemed to be Proceeds of Collateral and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have agreed pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code that any such administrative expense claims may be paid under a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or plan of liquidation in any form having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims; and (D) cash payments with respect to current fees and expenses; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to current fees and expenses and (2) each First Lien Collateral Agent may object to the amounts of fees and expenses sought by the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders; and (E) cash payments with respect to interest on the Second Lien Obligations; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the First Lien Obligation represented by it, (2) any cash payments to the Second Lien Collateral Agents or the other Second Lien Claimholders do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of Second Lien Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the applicable Second Lien Documents and accruing from the date the applicable Second Lien Collateral Agent is granted such relief and (3) such cash payments are held in the Escrow Account as described below.

(iii) If any Second Lien Claimholder is entitled by order of a court of competent jurisdiction to receive or receives adequate protection payments for or related to post-petition interest in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Second Lien Adequate Protection

Payments”), then all such payments shall be payable or transferred to, and held in, an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to terms mutually satisfactory to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent, in each case until the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or plan of liquidation for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. If the First Lien Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or plan of liquidation for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then an amount contained in the Escrow Account shall be paid over to the First Lien Claimholders (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (x) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by the Second Lien Claimholders and (y) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) necessary for a Discharge of the First Lien Obligations; provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, to the applicable Second Lien Claimholders pro rata in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or plan of liquidation for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any amounts remaining in the Escrow Account after application of amounts provided for above shall be paid to the Second Lien Claimholders as their interests may appear. It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 6.3(b) shall modify or otherwise affect the other agreements by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders set forth in this Agreement (including the agreements to raise no objection to, or oppose or contest, that are set forth in Section 6.1). To the extent the First Lien Collateral Agents are not granted such adequate protection in the applicable form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder pursuant to or as a result of any such additional collateral, any such replacement Lien, any such administrative expense claim or any such cash payment shall be subject to Section 4.2.

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Section 6.7(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Financing Documents or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Second Lien Claimholders made pursuant to Section 6.3(b).

6.5 Reinstatement. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to a debtor-in-possession, trustee, receiver, or the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of its First Lien Obligations with respect to such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder on account of the

Second Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, upon a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders, for application to the reinstated First Lien Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Financing Documents and any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if then in effect. Any distribution made to a Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Claimholder as a result of a Recovery will be paid over to the Directing First Lien Agent for application to the First Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

6.6 Reorganization Securities; Plan Voting. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.7 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that neither it nor its Related Second Lien Claimholders shall oppose or seek to challenge (or join with any other Person opposing or challenging) any claim by any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest. Regardless of whether any such claim for Post-Petition Interest is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include, and does include the “rule of explicitness,” and is intended to provide the First Lien Claimholders with the right to receive payment of all Post-Petition Interest through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such Post-Petition Interest may not be not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Borrower or any other Obligor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law.

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(b), none of any First Lien Collateral Agent nor any of its Related First Lien Claimholders shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of any Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, on the Collateral (after taking into account the amount of the First Lien Obligations).

6.8 Waivers. (a) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it or its Related Second Lien Claimholders may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of (a) the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision or any other Debtor Relief Law or (b) any cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien

Claimholders to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law.

(b) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification; Voting on Plan. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, and each First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute, and, in the case of the Shared Collateral Documents, are intended to constitute, two separate and distinct grants of Liens;

(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral), the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must, subject to applicable law, be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or plan of liquidation proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; and

(c) the Second Lien Claimholders (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) agree that they will not propose, directly or indirectly support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization unless such plan (i) provides for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or (ii) is supported by the First Lien Claimholders required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code to approve a plan.

To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Documents arising from or related to a default, regardless of whether any such claim is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral), with each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) or proceeds of Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) or any other distribution (whether or not expressly characterized as such) in respect of the Collateral, otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.

6.10 Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of the Directing First Lien Agent, provided that if requested by the Directing First Lien Agent, such Second Lien Collateral Agents shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Directing First Lien Agent, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

6.11 Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and under comparable provisions of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and its Related First Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the First Lien Documents (as applicable) and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Documents or this Agreement. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second Lien Documents or this Agreement.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability.

(a) Each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 8.14, no Second Lien Collateral Agent or other Second Lien Claimholders have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Second Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Second Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of credit under the Second Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

(b) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 8.14, no First Lien Collateral Agent or other First Lien Claimholders have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

(c) The Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Collateral Agents or any of the other First Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the Second Lien Collateral Agents or any of the other Second Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Obligor (including the First Lien Financing Documents and the Second Lien Financing Documents, but in each case other than this Agreement), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of the First Lien Collateral Agents or any other First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or of any First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Documents or any of the Second Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (a) (but subject to the rights of the First Lien Obligors under the First Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, without incurring any liabilities to any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(1) make loans and advances to any Obligor or issue, provide or obtain First Lien Letters of Credit for account of any Obligor or otherwise extend credit to any Obligor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

(2) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter the terms of, any of the First Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Obligor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by any First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the other First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Obligations or any of the First Lien Documents;

(3) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First Lien Collateral or any liability of any Obligor to any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(4) settle or compromise any First Lien Obligation or any other liability of any Obligor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First Lien Obligations) in any manner or order;

(5) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any Obligor or any security or any other Person or with respect to any security, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Obligor or any First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of any Obligor to the First Lien Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; and

(6) release or discharge any First Lien Obligation or any guaranty thereof or any agreement or obligation of any Obligor or any other Person or entity with respect thereto.

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

7.4 Waiver of Liability.

(a) Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders shall have no liability to any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, arising out of any and all actions which any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the First Lien Documents (including, without limitation, any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the First Lien Collateral), (ii) the collection of the First Lien Obligations or (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other Disposition of, any First Lien Collateral. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, also agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders have no duty, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the First Lien Collateral, the First Lien Obligations or otherwise. Neither the First Lien Collateral Agents nor any other First Lien Claimholder nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise Dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Obligor or upon the request of any Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other Second Lien Claimholder or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that neither any First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder (in directing the First Lien Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral or to sell or otherwise Dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner, including as a result of the application of the principles of marshaling or otherwise, that would maximize the return to any First Lien Claimholders or any Second Lien Claimholders, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale or other Disposition may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such Claimholders from such realization, sale or other Disposition.

(b) With respect to any share of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations owned by it, each First Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder as, and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for, any other Claimholder, all as if such First Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, were not appointed to act in such capacity under the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents or Second Lien Financing Documents, as the case may be. The term “Claimholders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, each in its individual capacity as a First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder, as applicable. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and its respective Affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Obligors or any of their Affiliates as if such person were not appointed to act in such capacity under the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents or Second Lien Financing Documents, as the case may be and without any duty to account therefor to any other Claimholder.

7.5 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder (including the Lien priorities established hereby) shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Lien Documents or any Second Lien Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First Lien Document or any Second Lien Document;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Obligor; or

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of any First Lien Collateral Agent, any other First Lien Claimholder, the First Lien Obligations, any Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other Second Lien Claimholder or the Second Lien Obligations in respect of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit the relative rights and obligations as among the First Lien Claimholders or as among the Second Lien Claimholders; as among the First Lien Claimholders, such rights and obligations are governed by, and any provisions herein regarding them are therefore subject to, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement governing the rights and obligations of First Lien Claimholders solely amongst themselves, and as among the Second Lien Claimholders, such rights and obligations are governed

by, and any provisions herein regarding them are therefore subject to, the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement governing the rights and obligations of Second Lien Claimholders solely amongst themselves.

8.2 Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination and each of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder or any First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Obligor constituting First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Obligor shall include such Obligor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver, trustee or similar Person for any Obligor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(a) with respect to any First Lien Collateral Agent, the other First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations of any Series, upon the Discharge of such Series of First Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.6 and the rights of the First Lien Claimholders of such Series under Section 6.5; and

(b) with respect to any Second Lien Collateral Agent, the other Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations of any Series, upon the Discharge of such Series of Second Lien Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such termination shall not relieve any such party of its obligations incurred hereunder prior to the date of such termination.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified or waived except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each First Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Collateral Agent then party hereto, subject to any applicable consent required pursuant to the applicable First Lien Document or Second Lien Document; provided that (a) the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent may, at the reasonable expense of the Obligors and without the written consent of any other First Lien Claimholder, any other Second Lien Claimholder or any Obligor, agree to any amendment to or other modifications of this Agreement for the purpose of giving effect to Section 8.21 or any Refinancing of any First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations, (b) any Additional Lien Obligations Agent may become party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit B hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.21 and (c) additional Obligors may be added as parties hereto upon the execution and delivery of a counterpart of the Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.18. Each of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an amendment or other modification of this Agreement at the other’s request to permit new creditors to become a party hereto as set forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence.

Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties owed to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except (x) to the extent such Obligor’s rights are directly and adversely affected by such amendment, modification or waiver or (y) to the extent applicable to such Obligor, with respect to any provision identified in Section 8.16; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be given notice of any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement promptly after the effectiveness thereof (it being understood that the failure to deliver such notice to the Borrower shall in no way impact the effectiveness of any such amendment, modification or waiver).

8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, shall be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Obligors and their subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations.

In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the other First Lien Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

(i) to make, and such First Lien Collateral Agent and such First Lien Claimholders shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided;

Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by any Second Lien Collateral Agent or the other

Second Lien Claimholders and paid over to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders pursuant to, and applied in accordance with, this Agreement, shall not relieve or reduce any of the Second Lien Obligations under the Second Lien Documents.

8.6 Application of Payments. All payments received by any First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations as the First Lien Claimholders, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

(a) The First Lien Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder as and to the extent set forth in Section 3.2(a). Consistent with such appointment, the First Lien Claimholders further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders) as agent for the First Lien Claimholders, or any of the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent’s agents, shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement); provided that (i) holders of the First Lien Secured Hedging Obligations and the First Lien Banking Services Obligations may exercise customary netting and set off rights under the First Lien Hedge Agreements and First Lien Banking Services Agreements to which they are, respectively, a party, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (including any relating to First Lien Hedge Agreements) and any such individual First Lien Claimholder may act against such cash collateral in accordance with the terms of the relevant First Lien Document or applicable law and (iii) the First Lien Claimholders may exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other accounts maintained with them in accordance with the terms of the relevant First Lien Document or applicable law. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no First Lien Claimholder or group of First Lien Claimholders, other than the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of, or pursuant to a grant of authority by, the Required First Lien Claimholders), shall be entitled to take or file, and shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) The Second Lien Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder as and to the extent set forth in Section 3.2(b) and to have authorized the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent to act as gratuitous agent for the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent under any Shared Collateral Document in accordance with Section 5.5. Consistent with such appointment, the Second Lien Claimholders further shall be deemed to have agreed that the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders) as agent for the Second Lien Claimholders, or any of the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent’s agents (including the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent acting as gratuitous agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent under any Shared Collateral Document in accordance with Section 5.5), shall have the sole right and power to take and direct any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Second Lien Collateral Documents and any other intercreditor agreement among the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Collateral Agent (but subject in any event to the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders set forth in Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(e)); provided that, subject to the limitations, restrictions and other agreements set forth herein, (i) holders of the Second Lien Secured Hedging Obligations and the Second Lien Banking Services Obligations may exercise customary netting and set off rights under the Second Lien Hedge Agreements and Second Lien Banking Services Agreements to which they are, respectively, a party, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of Initial Second Lien Documents (including any relating to Second Lien Hedge Agreements) and any such individual Second Lien Claimholder may act against such cash collateral in accordance with the terms of the relevant Second Lien Document or applicable law and (iii) the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other

accounts maintained with them in accordance with the terms of the relevant Second Lien Document or applicable law. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Second Lien Claimholder or group of Second Lien Claimholders, other than the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of, or pursuant to a grant of authority by, the Required Second Lien Claimholders), shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except as provided in (x) the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, (y) Section 3.1(c) and (z) Section 3.1(e).

8.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries; Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand. None of the Obligors shall have any rights hereunder and no Obligor may rely on the terms hereof, other than any provision hereof expressly preserving any right of, or directly affecting, any Obligor under this Agreement, any First Lien Document or any Second Lien Document, including Sections 3.1 (solely as to the definition of “Standstill Period”), 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5(c), 5.5(e), 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.11, 8.13, 8.14, 8.15, this Section 8.16, Sections 8.17, 8.18, and 8.21. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Obligors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

8.17 No Indirect Actions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it may not take that action indirectly, or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the party but is intended to have substantially the same effects as the prohibited action; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.17 shall be deemed to limit the right of any party hereto to vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

8.18 Obligors; Additional Obligors. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower and each other Obligor on the date of this Agreement shall constitute the original Obligors party hereto. The original Obligors hereby covenant and agree to cause each subsidiary of the Borrower which becomes a “Subsidiary Guarantor” as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement or Initial Second Lien Document (or any similar term in any other First Lien Financing Document or Second Lien Financing Document) after the date hereof to become a party hereto (as an Obligor) by duly executing and delivering a counterpart of the Intercreditor Joinder Agreement in the form of Annex A hereto to the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the relevant provisions of the relevant First Lien Financing Documents and/or Second Lien Financing Documents, as applicable. The parties hereto further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person which becomes a “Subsidiary Guarantor” as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement or Initial Second Lien Document (or any similar term in any other First Lien Financing Document or Second Lien Financing Document) at any time shall be subject to the provisions hereof as fully as if same constituted an Obligor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.

8.19 Right of First Lien Collateral Agent to Continue. Any Person serving as First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue, including to continue to perform his, her or its rights,

obligations and duties, as the First Lien Collateral Agent, notwithstanding whether any such Person has served or is serving as a Second Lien Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence of this Section 8.19, any Person serving as a First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to so serve in such capacity (including to continue to perform any of such First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights, obligations, and/or duties) even if any such Person has resigned as a Second Lien Collateral Agent, but such resignation has not become effective for any reason, including because a successor Second Lien Collateral Agent has not been appointed or has accepted such appointment, without any liability to any of the Second Lien Claimholders by virtue of any such resignation and any of the circumstances relating in any manner whatsoever to such resignation.

8.20 Second Lien Claimholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that this Agreement only applies to the Second Lien Claimholders in their capacities as holders of the Second Lien Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement does not restrict or apply to the Second Lien Claimholders in their capacities as holders of any Indebtedness or other obligations of the Obligors other than the Second Lien Obligations, or in their capacities as holders of equity interests of the Obligors.

8.21 Additional Lien Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each First Lien Financing Document and each Second Lien Financing Document, the Obligors will be permitted from time to time to designate as an additional holder of First Lien Obligations and/or Second Lien Obligations hereunder each Person that is, or that becomes or is to become, the holder of any Additional Lien Obligations (or the Additional Lien Obligations Agent in respect of such Additional Lien Obligations). Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Additional Lien Obligations:

(a) The Borrower shall deliver to each of the First Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Collateral Agents a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that the applicable Obligors intend to enter or have entered into an Additional Lien Obligations Agreement and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of such Additional Lien Obligations and the Liens securing such Additional Lien Obligations are permitted by the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents and each then existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement. Each of the Additional Lien Obligations Agents, the First Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Collateral Agents shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the determination of the Borrower that such issuance and/or incurrence is permitted under the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents and each then existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement if such determination is set forth in such Responsible Officer’s certificate delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Collateral Agents; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Obligors have complied with their undertakings in the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents or any then-existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement or Additional Second Lien Obligation Agreement;

(b) the Additional Liens Obligations Agent for such Additional Lien Obligations shall execute and deliver to each First Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B acknowledging that such Additional Lien Obligations and the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable, and

(c) each existing First Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments, restatements,

amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement) as any existing First Lien Collateral Agent or existing Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Additional Lien Obligations Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to it the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification to this Agreement requested pursuant to this clause (c) may be entered into by the existing First Lien Collateral Agents and the existing Second Lien Collateral Agents without the consent of any other First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder to effect the provisions of this Section 8.21 and may contain additional intercreditor terms applicable solely to the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations vis-à-vis the holders of the relevant obligations hereunder or the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations vis-à-vis the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders or the Directing Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Obligor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable First Lien Financing Document, Second Lien Document and each then existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement.

8.22 Additional Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) Each party hereto agrees that some or all of the First Lien Claimholders (as among themselves) and some or all of the Second Lien Claimholders (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the applicable First Lien Collateral Agents or Second Lien Collateral Agents, as the case may be, governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the First Lien Claimholders in respect of any or all of the First Lien Collateral, this Agreement and the First Lien Collateral Documents or as among the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of any or all of the Second Lien Collateral, this Agreement or the Second Lien Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to the application of proceeds of any Collateral, voting rights, control of any Collateral and waivers with respect to any Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, as applicable, and are no less favorable to the Borrower or any Loan Party than the terms of this Agreement. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) exists, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other First Lien Document or Second Lien Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other First Lien Documents and Second Lien Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).

(b) In addition, in the event that the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries incurs any obligations in respect of Indebtedness that is permitted by the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents to be secured by a Lien on any Collateral that is junior to the Liens thereon securing all First Lien Obligations and all Second Lien Obligations and such obligations are not designated by the Borrower as Second Lien Obligations, then the First Lien Collateral Agents and/or the Second Lien Collateral Agents shall upon the request of the Borrower enter into an Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Initial Second Lien Document on the date hereof and/or, in each case, any similar term in any First Lien Document and/or any Second Lien Document, as applicable) or another intercreditor agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Collateral Agents with the holders of such other obligations (or their agent, trustee or other representative) to reflect

the relative Lien priorities of such parties with respect to the Collateral (or the relevant portion thereof) and governing the relative rights, benefits and privileges as among such parties in respect of such Collateral, including as to application of the proceeds of such Collateral, voting rights, control of such Collateral and waivers with respect to such Collateral, in each case, so long as such secured obligations are not prohibited by, and the terms of such intercreditor agreement do not violate or conflict with, the provisions of this Agreement or any of the First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents, as the case may be, and are no less favorable to the Borrower or any Loan Party than the terms of this Agreement. If any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is entered into, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents, and the provisions of this Agreement, the First Lien Documents and Initial Second Lien Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the respective terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)) and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such other intercreditor agreement as it relates to the First Lien Claimholders on the one hand and the Second Lien Claimholders on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
