For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if a Rating Agency shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such Rating Agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by the three Rating Agencies for the Index Debt fall within the same category, the Applicable Margin shall be that category, (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by the three Rating Agencies for the Index Debt do not fall within the same category, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on (A) the highest of such ratings, if the next highest rating is only one level below that of the highest rating, or (B) the rating that is one level higher than the second highest rating, if the second highest rating is more than one level below that of the highest rating; and (iv) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by a Rating Agency shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of such Rating Agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by such Rating Agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.1(f) hereof or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of a Rating Agency shall change, or if any Rating Agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such Rating Agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of an LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the LC Disbursement promptly following the determination thereof. Upon receipt by the Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.2(i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Revolving Commitment Percentage or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V would permit the making of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in Dollars in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation (expressed in Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency) and the Agent shall give each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Credit Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.5(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in any Alternative Currency) and (ii) the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) the Outstanding Amount of any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit against such documents, the Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the

Exhibit 10.1

respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; (viii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or (ix) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s or any Xxxxxx’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Agent or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this regard, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall affect any rights or defenses the Borrower may have with respect to any act or omission by the Agent or any Lender in connection with any

Exhibit 10.1

Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any drawing thereunder, to the extent such act or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9, but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Agent or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Agent or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Required Lenders (or all of the Revolving Credit Lenders if required by Section 12.6) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6(b).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in any Alternative Currency) of the liability of the Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each applicable Revolving Credit Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in any Alternative Currency) of the Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Credit Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Revolving Credit Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Reimbursement Obligation is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Reimbursement Obligation is denominated in any Alternative Currency) in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the

Exhibit 10.1

third and last sentences of Section 3.6(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a default in any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under this Agreement exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to refuse to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Agent has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower and/or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Agent’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent on demand in Same Day Funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in any Alternative Currency) of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Credit Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (if the applicable Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Percentage (if the applicable Letter of Credit is denominated in any Alternative Currency) of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.2(e) is received by a Revolving Credit Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make such payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(h), Section (i), or Section (j) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Lenders. The Agent shall periodically deliver to the Revolving Credit Lenders information setting forth the Stated Amount and the Outstanding Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Agent shall have no duty to notify the Revolving Credit Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Credit Lender from its obligations under Section 2.2(j).

Section 2.3. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

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

If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or Term SOFRRate Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

Exhibit 10.1

(iv) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.6(b)(i) and Section 2.6(b)(ii) and the covenants set forth in Section 9.1, the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit Liabilities which are denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be re-determined on the Revaluation Date occurring on the last calendar day of each calendar month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date based on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (determined as of such day prior to 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time).

If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any fixed rate RFRTerm Rate Loan in accordance with this Section, or if an Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan (except for a fixed rate RFRTerm Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency which, during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan) notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.8 or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Default exists at the time of a Continuation of a Loan, the Interest Period for such continued Loan shall not exceed one month.

Section 2.8. Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a Loan or another Type if

(a) Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Revolving Credit Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, if requested by such Revolving Credit Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit E (each a “Revolving Credit Note” or “Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b) Records. The date, amount, Currency, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

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

Exhibit 10.1

Section 2.10. Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of LC Exposure) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent; provided, however, that if the Borrower seeks to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments below $100,000,000.00, then the Revolving Credit Commitments shall all automatically and permanently be reduced to zero. The Borrower shall not terminate or reduce any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to such reduction or termination, (w) the Outstanding Amount of any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) the Outstanding Amount of any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars would exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency would exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment, or (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies would exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each Revolving Credit Lender. The Agent shall further determine with respect to the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, as of the effective date of any such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments: (i) the applicable Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, and Revolving Credit Percentages and (ii) the applicable Adjusted Shared Event Commitments and Shared Event Percentages. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such reduction of such applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Percentages and applicable Adjusted Shared Event Commitments and Shared Event Percentages. The Revolving Credit Commitments, once terminated or reduced may not be increased or reinstated.

Section 2.11. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination Date.

If on the date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent an amount of money equal to the Outstanding Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account. The Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of cash collateral, request that additional cash collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

Section 2.12. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, the Agent shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10 shall take effect, if

Exhibit 10.1

(a) Request for Increase. At any time prior to October 6, 2025 (or, if an Extension Option has been exercised in accordance with Section 2.16, April 6, 2026 or October 6, 2026, as applicable), the Borrower shall have the option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility Amount by a maximum aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000,000.00 (the “Increase Option”) to a total Revolving Credit Facility Amount of up to $2,000,000,000.00. The Borrower may exercise the Increase Option at any time and from time to time prior to the date set forth above by providing notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders); provided, however, (a) that at the time of the exercise of such option, there is no Default or Event of Default which shall have occurred and be continuing; (b) in no event shall the existence of this Increase Option be deemed a commitment on the part of the Lenders until such time as such Lender in writing increases its commitment or a new Lender issues a written commitment for any such amounts in excess of the then-existing committed Revolving Credit Facility Amount, and then in such event, such increase to the Revolving Credit Facility Amount shall only be to the extent of the increased commitment or new commitment amounts; (c) at the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify a reasonable time period within which each Lender is requested to respond as to whether such Lender agrees to increase the amount of its Commitment in accordance with Section 2.14(b); (d) any such increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 with minimum aggregate increments of $5,000,000.00 above that amount, and a maximum aggregate increase of $1,000,000,000.00; and (e) any such increase shall be integrated into this Agreement and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.14(e)(vi).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period specified in said notice, whether or not it agrees, in its sole discretion, to issue or increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, by what amount (which need not be its pro rata share thereof). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to issue or increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Notification by Agent; Additional Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase in the Facility Amount and subject to the approval of the Agent and the Agent in its capacity as issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.

Exhibit 10.1

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the aggregate Commitments (including due to new Commitments by additional Lenders) are increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (including any additional Lenders) of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. Any increase in the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall have paid to (A) the Agent, such fees as shall be due to Agent at such time under the Fee Letter, and (B) to each Lender, such fees, if any, as shall have been agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent.

(ii) As of the Increase Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing or would result from such increase in the Facility Amount (including on a pro forma basis relative to financial covenant compliance).

(iii) The Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase (which resolutions may be contained in the resolutions adopted by the Borrower in connection with the initial Loan made under this Agreement), and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case, to the knowledge of the Borrower, they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions contemplated and permitted by this Agreement and changes occurring in the ordinary course of business (in each case to the extent not constituting a Default or Event of Default), (2) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing or would result from such increase in the Facility Amount (including on a pro forma basis relative to financial covenant compliance), and (3) the incurrence of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount equal to the full Revolving Credit Facility Amount after giving effect to all Commitment increases and new Commitments would not result in a breach of, or a default under, any agreement to which any Loan Party is a party.

(iv) The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date in the applicable Currency (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Credit Commitment allocations arising from any

Exhibit 10.1

nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may borrow from the Lenders providing such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (on a non pro rata basis with Lenders not providing such increase) in order to fund such prepayment.

(v) The Borrower will execute and deliver to each applicable Lender that requests one, a new Note in the appropriate stated amount, and will execute and deliver or otherwise provide to the Agent and the Lenders such other documents and instruments consistent with the terms of this Agreement, as the Agent or Lenders reasonably may require.

(vi) Any such increase shall be integrated into the Facility as (A) an increase to the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) a new revolving tranche having the same terms (excluding pricing, commitment fee amounts and the Revolving Credit Termination Date) as the Revolving Credit Facility, or (C) any combination thereof satisfactory to Borrower, Agent and the Lenders providing the new commitments.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a “commitment” to lend, and the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be increased except in accordance with, and until satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2.14 and actual increase of the Commitments as provided herein.

Section 2.15. [Reserved].

Section 2.16. Extension of Revolving Credit Termination Date.

The Borrower shall have the option (each an “Extension Option”) to extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date to April 6, 2026 and then October 6, 2026. Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Borrower may exercise an Extension Option by delivering a written notice to Agent (who shall provide such notice, promptly upon receipt, to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders) not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date (a “Notice to Extend”), stating that the Borrower has elected to extend the original Revolving Credit Termination Date for six (6) months. The Borrower’s delivery of the Notice to Extend shall be irrevocable and the Borrower’s right to an Extension Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions for each extension: (i) there shall exist no Default of Event of Default on both the date the Borrower delivers the Notice to Extend to Agent and on the then applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), not less than five days before the then applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date, an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Amount (a separate fee shall be due for each extension), and (iii) without limiting the conditions set forth in the foregoing clause (i), the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a Compliance Certificate, dated as of the date of the Notice to Extend, which includes detailed calculations establishing that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries were in compliance with

Exhibit 10.1

the financial covenants contained in Section 9.1 as of the date of the most recently ended calendar quarter for which the Borrower is required to report financial results.

ARTICLE III. - PAYMENTS, FEES, AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Same Day Funds in the applicable Currency, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due or, with respect to any payment required to be made in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Time (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. All payments of principal of and interest on any Loan shall be payable in the same Currency as the Loan is denominated other than as provided in the preceding sentence, and all other fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars. Subject to Section 10.4, the Borrower may, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of receipt. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the Alternative Currency, the Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Agent if the Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in Same Day Funds in the applicable Alternative Currency to the account with Agent designated by Borrower or the applicable Lender. For purposes of this clause, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the applicable Alternative Currency. If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

The obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in Dollars or any particular Alternative Currency (the “Currency of Payment”) shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (including pursuant to the judgment of a court), be discharged only to the extent that the Lender receiving such payment may, in accordance with its normal banking procedures on the Business Day following receipt of any such payment, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after payment of any premium and costs of exchange) the Currency of Payment on the Business Day on which such

Exhibit 10.1

Lender receives such payment. If the amount of the Currency of Payment that is purchased by any Lender is less than the amount owing to such Lender in the applicable currency pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any of the other terms contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to pay such additional amount so that the applicable Lender receives payment in full in the applicable Currency of Payment all of the relevant monetary Obligations in accordance with the terms of this clause and the other terms of this Agreement. If the amount of the Currency of Payment that is purchased by any Lender exceeds the sum due in the applicable currency to such Lender, such Lender shall promptly pay the excess over to the Borrower in the currency and to the extent actually received by such Lender.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the applicable Lenders under Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.2(e) shall be made from the applicable Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and each payment of the Fees under Section 3.6(a) and the first sentence of Section 3.6(b) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.10 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the amount of their respective applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; (b) each payment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the applicable Loans held by such Lenders, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans shall not be held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on the Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.6) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; and (e) the Revolving Credit Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.2, shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by any Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by any Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with

Exhibit 10.1

Section 3.2 or Section 10.4, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.4, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower (for itself and each other Loan Party) agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

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

Section 3.5. Minimum Amounts.

(a) Borrowings and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(e), each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $100,000.00 in excess thereof. Each borrowing of, Conversion to and Continuation of RFR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $100,000.00 (or, in the case of RFR Loans that are denominated in an Alternative Currency, an amount for which the Dollar Equivalent is not less than $2,000,000.00 or multiples of $100,000.00, respectively) in excess of that amount; provided that an RFR Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency may be continued for the same Interest Period or Converted to a different Interest Period in accordance with Section 2.8 in an amount equal to the same number of units of the relevant Currency for which such Loan was initially made regardless of whether the principal amount of such Loan as of such date of continuation or conversion is less than $2,000,000.00.

(b) Prepayments. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $100,000.00 (or, in the case of RFR Loans that are denominated in an Alternative Currency, an amount for which the Dollar Equivalent is not less than $1,000,000.00 or multiples of $100,000.00, respectively) in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding).

Exhibit 10.1

(c) Reductions of Commitments. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.10 shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof.

(d) Letters of Credit. The initial Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000.00, or such lesser amount as shall be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion.

Section 3.6. Fees.

(a) Revolving Credit Facility Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages) a facility fee in Dollars with respect to the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Amount, calculated by multiplying the Revolving Credit Facility Amount by the applicable Facility Fee rate as provided for in the definition of “Applicable Margin” set out in Section 1.1. Such fee shall be payable in arrears the last day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning December 31, 2021) and shall be pro-rated based on the number of days in the applicable period over an assumed year of 360 days. Any such accrued and unpaid fee shall also be payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments to zero.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a letter of credit fee in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for RFR Loans times the daily average Outstanding Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full and is not subject to reinstatement, as the case may be. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, with the first such payment being due on December 31, 2021, (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (iii) the date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Agent. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account and not the account of any Revolving Credit Lender, an issuance fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 or (ii) one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the daily average Outstanding Amount of such Letter of Credit (A) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and including the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (B) if the expiration date of any Letter of Credit is extended (whether as a result of the operation of an automatic extension clause or otherwise), for the period from but excluding the previous expiration date to and including the extended expiration date. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable upon issuance (or in the case of an extension of the expiration date, on the previous expiration date). The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

Exhibit 10.1

(c) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time.

Section 3.7. Computations.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement and the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by three hundred and sixty (360) or the number of days in such period, as applicable.

Section 3.8. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to them forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9. Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.3, except as otherwise may be the case under Section 2.14(e)(vi). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Exhibit 10.1

Section 3.10. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans (including the Currency in which they are denominated), Letters of Credit (including the Currency in which they are denominated), accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error unless the Borrower provides written notice to the Agent, within 90 days after receipt of such statement, specifying in reasonable detail those portions of such statement as to which the Borrower objects and the grounds for such objection. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.11. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, and until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Xxxxxx's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.6(f).

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.3), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities and in the case of a payment made by such Defaulting Lender that is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the cost to the Agent of funding such payment (as determined by the Agent)); second, if so determined by the Agent, to be held as cash collateral for any existing funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any participation in any Letter of Credit that have not been re-allocated to another Lender pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv); third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent, unless funded by another Lender; fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for any future funding obligations (if any) of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fifth, to the payment of any amounts

Exhibit 10.1

owing to the Agent or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans (or participations, if applicable, under Section 2.2(i)) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. were satisfied or waived (or were Loans made or participations acquired pursuant to Section 2.2(i)), such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans (or participations) of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to subsection (a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 3.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. During any period that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any Fees payable to the Lenders under Section 3.6(a), Section 3.6(b), and Section 3.6(c) (provided, as to Section 3.6(c), such Defaulting Lender shall be paid a pro rata (based on the remaining time to the extended Revolving Credit Termination Date) amount of extension fee at such time as it ceases to be a Defaulting Lender), and during such period the Borrower shall not be required to pay, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive, any such Fees otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under such Sections, provided the Borrower shall be required to pay the pro rata amount of such fees to the Revolving Credit Lenders assuming the participation exposure with respect to any Letters of Credit or related to any funding made by any Lender covering such Defaulting Lender’s share of any Loan.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Revolving Credit Lender which is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit

Exhibit 10.1

pursuant to Section 2.2, the Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Credit Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation shall be given effect only if (i) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (ii) such reallocation would not cause the aggregate principal amount of any Revolving Credit Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 12.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole but reasonable discretion (with no consent required from the Borrower if any Default or Event of Default exists) that a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender, if a Lender, will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the subject Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.11(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx's having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than 2 Business Days and not later than 5 Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such 5th Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5 for the purchase price provided for below

Exhibit 10.1

or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase except to the extent assigned pursuant to such purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 12.5, shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $5,000.00. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.11(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans

Section 3.12. Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) Tax Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as

Exhibit 10.1

to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.12, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

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

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the

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

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

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

Exhibit 10.1

the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.13 Special Provisions Regarding Alternative Currency Loans; Adjusted Sharing Event Commitments and Sharing Event Percentages. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action), (x) all then outstanding RFR Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (determined by the Agent on the basis of the Spot Rate determined on the Sharing Date) of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable RFR Loans on the date such

Exhibit 10.1

Sharing Event first occurred, which Loans denominated in Dollars (i) shall thereafter continue to be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (ii) unless such Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred and (y) unless such Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Loans shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower, in Dollars, using the Dollar Equivalent amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, and after giving effect to any automatic conversion pursuant to Section 3.13(a), each Lender shall (and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding to, and any unpaid LC Exposure owing by, the Borrower in such amounts so that each Revolving Credit Lender shall have a share of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and unpaid LC Exposure then owing by the Borrower equal to its Sharing Event Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (based on, and resulting in, the Adjusted Sharing Event Commitment of each Lender) although if because of fluctuations in currency exchange rates any Revolving Credit Lender would be required to purchase such participations after giving effect to which such Revolving Credit Lender's allocated share of all Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure (including participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 3.13) would exceed the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Adjusted Sharing Event Commitment, then such participations shall be in an amount after giving effect to which such Revolving Credit Lender's allocated share of all Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure (including participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 3.13) would equal the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Adjusted Sharing Event Commitment). Upon any such occurrence, the Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars required from such Revolving Credit Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various Revolving Credit Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with respect to the period for the last interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.13 in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided, however, in the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Agent (in Same Day Funds in Dollars) the net amounts as specified by the Agent. The Agent shall promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various Revolving Credit Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations by and among the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each Revolving Credit Lender which has sold participations in any of its Revolving Credit Loans (through the Agent) will deliver to each Revolving Credit Lender (through the Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each Revolving Credit Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Revolving Credit Lenders as required above.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Revolving Credit Loans shall be made and no further Letters of Credit shall be issued, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any

Exhibit 10.1

outstanding Revolving Loans initially denominated in an Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Revolving Loans had originally been made in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant Lenders (or their Affiliates) to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders which made such Revolving Credit Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be terminated automatically (and without the taking of any action). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interest in any Revolving Credit Loans upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Revolving Credit Lender on any date.

(d) If any amount required to be paid by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(b) is not paid to the Agent within one (1) Business Day following the date upon which such Revolving Credit Lender receives notice from the Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to said Section 3.13(b), such Revolving Credit Lender shall also pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender for the purchase of its participations times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Agent times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(b) is not in fact made available to the Agent within three (3) Business Days following the date upon which such Revolving Credit Lender receives notice from the Agent as to the amount of participations required to be purchased by it, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. Upon submission by the Agent of a certificate to any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any amounts payable by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this Section 3.13, the amount set forth in such certificate shall be paid to the Agent for the account of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that, if the Agent (in its sole and exclusive discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender the amounts owing to such Revolving Credit Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Agent for its own account.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders have received from any Lenders purchases of participations in any Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such Lenders will distribute to the Agent, for the account of the various Lenders participating therein, such Revolving Credit Lenders' participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any Revolving Credit Lenders are required to be returned, the Revolving Credit Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective Revolving Credit Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Revolving Credit Lenders.

Exhibit 10.1

(f) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Revolving Credit Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party or any other Person, (d) any breach of this Agreement by any Loan Party, any Lender, or any other Person, or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each Revolving Credit Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the Borrower any increased costs and indemnities directly from the Borrower to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 3.13, increased Taxes may be owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.12, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 3.12) by the Borrower, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 3.13.

ARTICLE IV. - YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of each affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or its obligation to make any Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans, Letters of Credit, or its Commitment (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); (iii) imposes on any Lender or any Lender as issuer of any Letter of Credit or the Londonapplicable interbank market or the relevant local market for obtaining quotations for Canadian CDOR Rate, any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or RFR Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or (iv) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital or liquidity of such Lender or its holding company to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company

Exhibit 10.1

could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b) Xxxxxx’s Suspension of RFR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on RFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes RFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans in any Currency into, RFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall apply).

(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section 4.1 (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable, in each case after the Agreement Date, any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3 Business Days of demand, to the Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Xxxxxx agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, except as otherwise provided below, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent). The Agent or such Xxxxxx agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section, in each case within three months after the effective date of the Regulatory Change or other circumstance giving rise to such requested compensation (and, should such certificate not be furnished within such three-month period, the Borrower shall not be liable for any Additional Costs or compensation related to such Regulatory Change or other circumstance). Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.1

Section 4.2. Suspension of RFR Loans.

Subject to Section 4.9 below, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if:

(A) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that such RFR with respect to borrowings of such Currency for such Interest Period cannot be determined temporarily pursuant to the definition thereof, other than due to a Benchmark Transition Event, or

(B) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be deemed presumptively correct) that due to changes not reasonably foreseeable on the First Amendment Effective Date such RFR with respect to borrowings of such Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining RFR Loans of such Currency for such Interest Period;

in each case of clauses (A) and (B) with respect to an RFRa Term Rate Loan (other than a daily rate RFR Loan), on or prior to the determination of the RFR for any Interest Period with respect to borrowings denominated in any Currency, and with respect to a Daily Simple SOFRRFR Loan, at any time, then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and each Lender, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue RFR Loans in such Currency or to Convert Base Rate Loans or Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable, in such Currency to RFR Loans of such Currency shall be suspended (with respect to fixed rate RFRTerm Rate Loans, to the extent of the applicable Interest Period), (ii) all RFR Loans of such Currency (as applicable, and of the affected Interest Period) shall be immediately Converted to (x) Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of Base Rate), with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, or (y) Alternate Rate Loans, with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, and (iii) the component of Base Rate based upon Term SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate, in each case, until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of RFR Loans of such Currency or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans or Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable, in such Currency in the amount specified therein. Upon any such Conversion, (i) the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.1(a); and/or (ii) if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR, or any Eurocurrency Rate or any other RFR cannot be determined permanently pursuant to the definition thereof as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender, and the provisions of Section 4.9 of this Agreement shall be applicable. Unless and until the Agent and the Borrower have amended this Agreement to provide for a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with Section 4.9, all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances giving rise to the notice referenced above affect only the RFR with respect to borrowings denominated in a single Currency, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall apply only to RFR Loans denominated in such Currency, and borrowings of RFR Loans denominated in other Currencies shall be permitted.

Exhibit 10.1

Section 4.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain RFR Loans in any Currency hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, RFR Loans of such Currency shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain RFR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(A) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of xxx RFR Loan (other than a Daily Simple SOFR Loan), or Conversion of an RFR Loan (other than a Daily Simple SOFR Loan), made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;

(B) any failure by the Borrower to prepay any RFR Loan (other than a Daily Simple SOFR Loan) on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment; or

(C) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V. to be satisfied) to borrow an RFR Loan (other than a Daily Simple SOFR Loan) from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan into an RFR Loan with an Interest Period or Continue an RFR Loan with an Interest Period on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.5. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12 or Section 4.1, and the Required Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make RFR

Exhibit 10.1

Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, RFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.3 but the obligation of the Required Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.12 or Section 4.1 with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.

Section 4.6. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make RFR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, RFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.3, then such Lender’s (i) RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for RFR Loans (or, (x) in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent, or (y) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately) and (ii) RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be converted automatically to Alternate Rate Loans on such day or, as to any fixed rate RFRTerm Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such fixed rate RFRTerm Rate Loans (or, (x) in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent, or (y) in the case of daily rateDaily RFR Loans, immediately), and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(A) to the extent that such Xxxxxx’s RFR Loans denominated in Dollars have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s RFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans;

(B) all Loans denominated in Dollars that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall remain as Base Rate Loans;

Exhibit 10.1

(C) to the extent that such Xxxxxx’s RFR Loans denominated in any affected Alternative Currency have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s RFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Alternate Rate Loans; and

(D) all Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as RFR Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be made or Continued instead as Alternate Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency, and all Alternate Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into RFR Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency shall remain as Alternate Rate Loans;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances giving rise to the notice referenced above affect only the RFR with respect to borrowings denominated in a single Currency, the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall apply only to RFR Loans denominated in such Currency, and borrowings of RFR Loans denominated in other Currencies shall be permitted. If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Xxxxxx’s RFR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Xxxxxx agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when RFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Xxxxxx’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding RFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding RFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 4.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.12, Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 4.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of RFR Loans.

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

Exhibit 10.1

Section 4.9. Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a) Replacing SOFR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark relating to a SOFR-based Benchmark, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of such then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.9 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date with respect to such Benchmark. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement with respect to such Benchmark is effective in accordance with this Section 4.9(a), all RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 above.

(b) Replacing Other Benchmarks. If any Benchmark Transition Event occurs after the date hereof with respect to any Benchmark other than a SOFR-based Benchmark (which is addressed above in clause (a)), the applicable Benchmark will be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement (including any applicable credit spread adjustment) for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting on the later of (i) 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 and the Borrower (together, if applicable, with an amendment to this Agreement implementing such Benchmark Replacement and any applicable Conforming Changes and, in each case, including (without duplicating any other spread adjustment expressly set forth herein) any mathematical or other spread adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated) or (ii) such other date as may be determined by the Agent, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Agent has not received, by such time (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, such time as may be specified by the Agent as a deadline to receive objections, but in any case, no less than five (5) Business Days after the date such notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower), written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of Loans to be made, Converted or Continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans or the Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable.

Exhibit 10.1

During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Base Rate based upon the applicable Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. The Agent will notify the Borrower and the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.9, including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or implementation of any Conforming Changes, the timing of implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its 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, and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.

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

Exhibit 10.1

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable borrowing of RFR Loans of, Conversion to or Continuation of RFR Loans of a particular Currency to be made, Converted or Continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to (x) Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of Base Rate), with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, or (y) Alternate Rate Loans, with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency. Any outstanding affected RFR Loans bearing interest at the then-current Benchmark shall be converted to Base Rate Loans or Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable, immediately. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the Term SOFR component of Base Rate (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(i) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(i), there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending (nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened) against or in any other way relating adversely to or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective property in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No assets of the Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the borrowing and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute non-exempt “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

(o) Absence of Defaults. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been remedied, cured or waived, which, in any such case: (i) constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) constitutes, or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or event of default by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any such Persons or any of their respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have taken all such steps as they deem reasonably necessary to protect their respective rights under and with respect to such Intellectual Property. No material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

All financial statements (including in each case all related schedules and notes) furnished to the Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with, pursuant to or relating in any way to this Agreement, present fairly, in all material respects and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments). All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions as of the date of such information; provided, however, the Agent and the Lenders recognize that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts or guarantees of future performance and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.

The Borrower has not taken any action that would prevent it from maintaining its qualification as a REIT for its tax year ending December 31, 2021, or as of the date of this Agreement, from maintaining such qualification at all times during the term of the Loan.

(y) SEC Filings. The Borrower has made all filings with and obtained all consents of the Securities and Exchange Commission as required, if any, under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each of the Obligations incurred in connection with the Loan Documents.

The Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and their respective officers and employees, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, their directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. No Loan or Letter of Credit, use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, or other transactions contemplated hereby has been used, directly or indirectly, or has otherwise been made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction or to fund any activity or business with any Sanctioned Person, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Lender, or the Agent, of Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents and representatives of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from this Agreement. Neither the making of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Patriot Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or successor statute thereto. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the Patriot Act.

(aa) Beneficial Ownership Certification. The information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct as of the date thereof. Xxxxxxxx agrees that in connection with any amendment to this Agreement that it will, at least five (5) days prior to the closing date of such amendment, deliver to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification for any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

The addition or replacement of Eligible Real Estate to or for the then existing Unencumbered Property shall be referred to as “Unencumbered Property Replacement”. In the event the Borrower desires to effect an Unencumbered Property Replacement as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders). No Real Estate shall be included as Unencumbered Property unless and until the Agent determines that:

(i) such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate;

(ii) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Real Estate, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the replacement or addition of Unencumbered Properties, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect.

Exhibit 10.1

Section 7.13. Removal of Unencumbered Property.

Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.13), the Borrower shall be permitted to remove an Unencumbered Property from the Unencumbered Pool upon the request of the Borrower and subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to remove such property not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such removal is to be effected;

In such event, the Agent may reasonably require that the Real Estate no longer be considered an Unencumbered Property for purposes hereof and require that such asset be removed from the Unencumbered Pool. Upon the determination that an asset shall no longer be considered an Unencumbered Property for purposes hereof, the provisions of Section 2.6(b) shall apply.

Section 7.15. Subsidiary Guaranty.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) If, after the Agreement Date, a Guaranty Trigger Event occurs with respect to any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Agent, within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of such Guaranty Trigger Event, (i) a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty in the form of Exhibit A attached to the form of Subsidiary Guaranty (or if the Subsidiary Guaranty is not then in effect, a Subsidiary Guaranty in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto), and (ii) the organizational documents, certificates of good standing, resolutions and, if requested by the Agent, a legal opinion regarding such Subsidiary, unless any such Subsidiaries are not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and consistent with the corresponding items delivered by the Borrower under Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement. A "Guaranty Trigger Event" shall mean, with respect to any Subsidiary, such Subsidiary becomes obligated, in whole or in part, as a co-borrower or guarantor or the like with respect to any of the Bonds or any other unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower for borrowed money. At the time any Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower shall be

112

Exhibit 10.1

deemed to make to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties (subject in all cases to all materiality qualifiers and other exceptions in such representations and warranties) contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent they apply to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c) If a Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.15(b) above, the Borrower may from time to time request, upon not less than two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, that such Subsidiary Guarantor be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty, and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall release such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty, so long as: (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor is not, or immediately upon its release will not be, required to be a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty under Section 7.15(b) above; (ii) no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately following such release; and (iii) the representations and warranties (subject in all cases to all materiality qualifiers and other exceptions in such representations and warranties) contained in Article VI shall be true and correct as of the date of such release and immediately after giving effect to such release, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents. Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. The Agent shall execute such documents and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request, and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to evidence such release.

Section 7.20. [Reserved].

Section 7.21. Unencumbered Property.

(a) All of the Unencumbered Properties are in good condition and working order subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation permitted in the Loan Documents. All of the other Real Estate of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in good condition and working order subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation permitted in the Loan Documents, except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Real Estate (including any property encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage), and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable zoning, building codes and other applicable governmental regulations, except where such non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Unencumbered Properties which are payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any mortgagor under any EPR Senior First Mortgage (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement or the applicable Leases). There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on any property encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage which are payable by any of such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement), except to the extent such non-payment would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any property of the Borrower or any its Subsidiaries or any of the property encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened by any taking authority which may individually or in the aggregate have any Material Adverse Effect. None of the property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of the property encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate would have any Material Adverse Effect;

(b) If the Unencumbered Property and improvements are located in a special flood hazard area designated as such by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, such Unencumbered Property and improvements are and will continue to be covered by special flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program;

(c) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is the mortgagor under any mortgage, deed of trust, or similar instrument encumbering (i) the Unencumbered Property or (ii) the Equity Interests in the Subsidiary which owns, leases or has a mortgage interest in such Unencumbered

114

Exhibit 10.1

Property or the Equity Interests in any Person which owns any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary;

(d) Except with respect to that encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage, the Unencumbered Property has not been sold, mortgaged or underwritten to obtain financing (whether or not such financing constitutes Indebtedness) under any financing arrangement other than the financing evidenced by the Facility or, in the case of underwriting only, other financing permitted under this Agreement;

(e) All material certificates of occupancy have been obtained and shall be maintained with respect to the Unencumbered Property;

(f) The Unencumbered Property is a Real Estate asset for which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries have conducted their customary due diligence and review, including inspection of the Real Estate, and such customary due diligence and review have not revealed facts that would adversely affect the value of the Real Estate;

(g) Except with respect to that encumbered by an EPR Senior First Mortgage, the Borrower or an Eligible Subsidiary, as applicable, holds good and marketable fee simple title to or a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in each parcel of Unencumbered Property, and has obtained a Title Policy with respect thereto, subject only to the Permitted Liens, a copy of which such Title Policy shall be made available to Agent upon request therefor; and

(h) The Borrower has complied with all other applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to inclusion and retention of the Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default exists the Borrower or an Eligible Subsidiary, as applicable, may sell or otherwise dispose of, or permit the sale or other disposition of, portions of Unencumbered Property that consist of undeveloped land or other property which is non-income producing (including, in the case of an EPR Senior Property Loan, releasing the Borrower's or Eligible Subsidiary’s, as applicable, mortgage lien on such undeveloped land or other non-income-producing property) in each case provided that the Borrower is in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.1(f) and Section 9.1(g) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such sale or other disposition.

Section 7.22. Beneficial Ownership. Promptly following any request therefor, Borrower shall provide information and documentation reasonably requested by Agent or any Lender for purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

(h) any Loan Party, Unencumbered Property Equity Owner or Unencumbered Property Owner Subsidiary (i) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its general inability to pay or generally fail to pay its debts as they mature or become due, or shall petition or apply for the appointment of a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver for it or any substantial part of its assets, (ii) shall commence any case or other proceeding relating to it under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or (iii) shall take any action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

(n) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any Loan Party to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $2,000,000.00 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

So long as an Event of Default exists, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and/or declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit and the other Loan Documents (including prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees) to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(h), Section 10.1(i), or

129

Exhibit 10.1

Section 10.1(j), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Upon demand by Agent or the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Loan have been satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent in the Collateral Account as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. In the alternative, if demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Agent in the Collateral Account for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by the Borrower will be released to the Borrower. If at any time the aggregate amount of funds pledged to Agent as collateral for such Letters of Credit shall exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate face amount of all amounts available to be drawn under such Letters of Credit (including any amounts that may be reinstated thereunder), Agent shall release the amount of such excess deposited by the Borrower to the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the occurrence of any one of the aforementioned terms or conditions in this Section 10.1, shall be, prior to the giving of any applicable notice or grace period, and until the same is cured as permitted by this Agreement, a “Default.”

Section 10.2. Limitation of Cure Periods.

In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property or the owner(s) thereof (including, without limitation, the imposition of a Lien not permitted under this Agreement), or if any Default shall occur in any covenant contained in Section 9.1(b) through Section 9.1(h), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower may elect to cure such Default by electing to remove such Unencumbered Property from the Unencumbered Pool and reduce the outstanding Loans or by substituting for such Unencumbered Property additional Unencumbered Property consisting of Eligible Real Estate for the Unencumbered Property to which such Default relates (provided that the value of such Unencumbered Property is such that after acceptance thereof, the Borrower is in compliance with the Unencumbered Property requirements), in which event such actions shall be completed within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the initial five (5) Business Day period (or within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the initial five (5) Business Day period in the event that the Borrower intends to provide additional or substitute Unencumbered Property). The Borrower’s notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be delivered to the Agent within the period of five (5) Business Days provided above, and if not so delivered Borrower’s cure period shall immediately terminate and such Default shall become an Event of Default. In the event that

130

Exhibit 10.1

Borrower elects to add additional or substitute Unencumbered Property and fails within the time provided herein, the cure period shall terminate and such Default immediately shall constitute an Event of Default. In the event that the Borrower shall elect to cure any Default in any covenant contained in Section 9.1(b) through Section 9.1(h), by providing additional Unencumbered Property to the Unencumbered Pool, the Real Estate to be added to the Unencumbered Pool shall be Eligible Real Estate and on or prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above, all conditions in this Agreement to the acceptance of such Real Estate to the Unencumbered Pool shall have been satisfied.

Section 10.3 Remedies Upon Default.

If any one or more Events of Default specified in Section 10.1(h), Section 10.1(i), or Section 10.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to issue any Letters of Credit. No termination under this Section 10.3 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent to, and the Agent if and only if so directed shall, exercise any and all of its rights under any and all of the other Loan Documents. Similarly, the Required Lenders may direct the Agent to, and the Agent if and only if so directed shall, exercise all other rights and remedies it may have under any Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the assets and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver.

Section 10.4. Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default shall exist, all payments received by the Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(A) amounts due the Agent in respect of fees and expenses due under Section 12.2;

(B) amounts due the Lenders in respect of fees and expenses due under Section 12.2, pro rata in the amount then due each Lender;

(C) payments of interest on all other Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

131

Exhibit 10.1

(D) payments of principal of all other Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other LC Exposure, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this subsection are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent for deposit into the Collateral Account;

(E) amounts due the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.7 and Section 12.9;

(F) payment of all other Obligations and other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

(G) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

Section 10.5. Collateral Account.

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

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account and proceeds thereof to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.4.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the LC Exposure then due and owing, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within two Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the LC Exposure at such time. The Agent may, at any time and from time to time, request that additional cash collateral be deposited into the Collateral Account in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to LC Exposure denominated in an Alternative Currency.

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

Section 10.6. Performance by Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate if not paid within five days after the Agent makes demand upon the Borrower for the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.7. Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

Exhibit 10.1

ARTICLE XI. - THE AGENT

Section 11.1 Authorization and Action.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Xxxxxx’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by any Loan Party, or any Affiliate of any Loan Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any provision of this Agreement) have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

Section 11.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted

134

Exhibit 10.1

to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 5.1.) or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. Unless set forth in writing to the contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a certification by such Lender to the Agent and the other Lenders that the Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 that have not previously been waived by the Required Lenders.

Section 11.3. Notice of Defaults.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.4. KeyBank as Lender.

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

135

Exhibit 10.1

Section 11.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 11.6. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any their respective Affiliates thereof which may come into possession of the Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in

136

Exhibit 10.1

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Xxxxxx.

Section 11.7. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Xxxxxx’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (each an “Indemnifiable Amount” and collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Agent following the advice of counsel to the Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.8. Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents for good cause by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent), or, if the Agent is a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition thereof, by the Required Lenders, upon 30-days’ prior written notice to the Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent, in the case of the

137

Exhibit 10.1

removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and its affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation or removal shall become effective at the time stated in the notice thereof, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and except for any indemnity payment owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.9. Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Arranger”, “Syndication Agent”, and “Documentation Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 11.10. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such

138

Exhibit 10.1

Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

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

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.10(b).

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return

139

Exhibit 10.1

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

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or

140

Exhibit 10.1

the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

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

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

EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

143

Exhibit 10.1

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

Section 12.5. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

(b) RESERVED.

(c) Any Lender may at any time grant any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person), a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12, Section 4.1(a), and Section 4.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that such Participant (a) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 and Section 4.7 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (d) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1(a) with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.12(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.12(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time

144

Exhibit 10.1

or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (except, with respect to Subsidiary Guarantors, as expressly permitted under Section 7.15 or any other provision of this Agreement). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (d) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (c). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to such Lender); provided, however, (i) unless the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall be in existence) and the Agent otherwise agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), after giving effect to any partial assignment by a Lender, the Assignee shall hold, and the assigning Lender shall retain (unless such assignment is of the assigning Xxxxxx’s entire remaining Commitment and Loans), a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, Loans having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $10,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof; (ii) if an Event of Default exists any such assignment may be to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person), a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof), and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to the assigned interest as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with respect to the assigned interest as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned interest to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make all reasonable and appropriate arrangements requested by a Lender in connection with any such participation or assignment including the issuance of new

145

Exhibit 10.1

Notes to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $5,000.00.

(e) The Agent shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in subsection (d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(f) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(g) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Revolving Credit Facility, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants but excluding any competitor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) subject to compliance with Section 12.8 or other confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as Section 12.8.

(h) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.

(i) Each Xxxxxx agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not knowingly make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.6. Amendments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may

146

Exhibit 10.1

be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party party thereto).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.14) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;

(ii) reduce the principal of, the method of application of any mandatory prepayment of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for payment thereof;

(iv) extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date (other than pursuant to Section 2.16) or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due), or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date (other than pursuant to Section 2.2(b));

(v) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2;

(vi) intentionally omitted;

(vii) amend the provisions of Section 12.5(c) or Section 12.5(d) so as to impose more restrictions on a Xxxxxx’s ability to grant assignments or participations hereunder; or

(viii) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.12.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i) modify the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 12.6;

147

Exhibit 10.1

(ii) modify the provisions of Section 1.3 or the definition of “Alternative Currency”;

(iii) release the Borrower from its obligations hereunder;

(iv) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents other than as provided in Section 7.15; or

(v) modify the provisions of Section 3.3 or Section 10.4 to amend to the pro rata application of payments set forth thereunder.

(d) No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(e) No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.5, no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (a) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and (b) no such amendment, waiver or consent may uniquely and negatively impact such Defaulting Lender without the approval of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any amendment contemplated by Section 4.9 shall be effective as contemplated by such Section 4.9.

(f) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge, termination or other action under the provisions of this Agreement that requires approval of all Lenders or the Required Lenders, and the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Agent (in its capacity as a Lender and/or on behalf of, with their consent, one or more of the other non-consenting Lenders or Eligible Assignees) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the Commitment of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders upon payment to such non-consenting Lender(s) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made, or Letter of Credit issued, by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the non-consenting Xxxxxx’s interest in the Loans or Letters of Credit and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase except to the extent assigned pursuant to such purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the non-consenting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such

148

Exhibit 10.1

interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Section 12.7. Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender or to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 12.8. Confidentiality.

The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective Minority Interests, and their respective properties, operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section or other confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Agent’s or such Xxxxxx’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) to any actual or potential contractual counter-parties to any Derivatives Contract or to any rating agency; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate; and (h) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Agent or such Lender.

149

Exhibit 10.1

Section 12.9. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each of the Lenders, any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12 or Section 4.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Section 3.12 or Section 4.1) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) brought by any Loan Party or third party which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower or such Subsidiaries) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any

150

Exhibit 10.1

Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower or such Subsidiary), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.9.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d) All reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all reasonable amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

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

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

151

Exhibit 10.1

Section 12.10. Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit the expiration dates of which extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date as permitted under Section 2.2(b) and in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements of such Section) have terminated, (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following two sentences) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Section 3.12, Section 4.1, Section 4.4, Section 11.7, Section 12.2 and Section 12.9 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.4, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 12.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.12. GOVERNING LAW.

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

Section 12.13. Patriot Act.

The Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with such Act.

Section 12.14. Counterparts.

This Agreement and any consent, waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification hereto, may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, or by other electronic transmission, in portable document format (.pdf), facsimile format, or other electronic format, all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original

152

Exhibit 10.1

counterpart. Each party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a) agrees that it will be bound by its own Electronic Signature (as such term is defined immediately below), (b) accepts the Electronic Signature of each other party to this Agreement, and (c) agrees that such Electronic Signatures shall be the legal equivalent of manual signatures. The term “Electronic Signature” means (i) the signing party’s manual signature on a signature page, converted by the signing party (or its agent) to facsimile or digital form (such as a .pdf file) and received from the customary email address or customary facsimile number of the signing party (or its counsel or representative), or other mutually agreed-upon authenticated source; or (ii) the signing party’s digital signature executed using a mutually agreed-upon digital signature service provider and digital signature process. The Agent may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement and any other Loan Document in an electronic form (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Agent’s business, and destroy the original paper document. The Agent or any Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any permitted facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), electronic record or Electronic Signature. The words “execution,” “executed”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, the Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act, or any other similar state law.

Section 12.15. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

153

Exhibit 10.1

(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 12.16. Limitation of Liability.

Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 12.17. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.

Section 12.18. Construction.

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

Exhibit 10.1

Section 12.20. Judgment Currency.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Agent’s offices on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 3.3, such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower

Section 12.21. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS.

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

(b) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan

155

Exhibit 10.1

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

As used in this Section 12.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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

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

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND Assumption AGREEMENT dated as of ___________, 20__ (the “Agreement”) by and among _________________________ (the “Assignor”), _________________________ (the “Assignee”), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Agent (the “Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Assignor is a Lender under that certain Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among EPR Properties (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 12.5 thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto;

WHEREAS, the Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee, among other things, all or a portion of the Assignor’s Commitment under the Credit Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Agent consents to such assignment on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Assignment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the payment to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, effective as of ____________, 20__ (the “Assignment Date”), the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells, transfers and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse, all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to a $__________ interest (such interest being the “Assigned Commitment”) in and to the Assignor’s [Dollar][Alternative Currency] Revolving Credit Commitment and a corresponding interest in all of the other rights and obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor’s Note and the other Loan Documents (representing ______% in respect of the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Commitments), including without limitation, a principal amount of outstanding Loans equal to $_________ and all voting rights of the Assignor associated with the Assigned Commitment, all rights to receive interest on such amount of Loans and all facility and other Fees with respect to the Assigned Commitment and other rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Assigned Commitment. The Assignee, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hereby assumes all obligations of the Assignor as a Lender with respect to the Assigned Commitment, which obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, the obligation to make Loans to the Borrower with respect to the Assigned Commitment, the obligation to pay the Agent amounts due in respect of draws under Letters of Credit as required under Section 2.2.(i) of the Credit Agreement and the obligation to indemnify the Agent as

The Assignee makes and confirms to the Agent, the Assignor, and the other Lenders all of the representations, warranties and covenants of a Lender under Article XI. of the Credit Agreement. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Assignee acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 4 below, the Assignor is making no representations or warranties with respect to, and the Assignee hereby releases and discharges the Assignor for any responsibility or liability for: (i) the present or future solvency or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any representations, warranties, statements or information made or furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Agreement or otherwise, (iii) the validity, efficacy, sufficiency, or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith, or the collectibility of the Assigned Obligations, (iv) the perfection, priority or validity of any Lien with respect to any collateral at any time securing the Obligations or the Assigned Obligations under the Notes or the Credit Agreement and (v) the performance or failure to perform by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any obligation under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party. Further, the Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on the financial statements supplied by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement. The Assignee also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or pursuant to any other obligation. Except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Assignee with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower or to notify the Assignee of any Default or Event of Default. The Assignee has not relied on the Agent as to any legal or factual matter in connection therewith or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Exhibit 10.1

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY dated as of [______________], 2021, executed and delivered by each of the undersigned Subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule 1 hereof (together with any other Person that may join in this Guaranty from time to time as an “Additional Guarantor” pursuant to Section 22, each a “Guarantor”, and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of (a) KeyBank National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2021, (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among EPR PROPERTIES (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 12.5 thereof (the “Lenders”), and the Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are members of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Borrower and Guarantors, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is one of the conditions precedent to the Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of (a) all Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all such Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of any Debtor Relief Law and (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders or the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in

190

Exhibit 10.1

whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Agent and the other Lenders shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Agent may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Loan Party, or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Loan Party, or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Agent which may secure any of the Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby waives the right of such Guarantor to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against the Borrower or any other Guarantor as provided by any legal requirement of any Governmental Authority.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees, jointly and severally, that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any legal requirement now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. Upon the failure by the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, or such other Person as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than the full and final payment and performance in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the following (whether or not any Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(V) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligations; or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of the foregoing;

(VI) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

191

Exhibit 10.1

(VII) any furnishing to the Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral security for the Obligations other than the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations;

(VIII) any settlement or compromise of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower;

(IX) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any other Guarantor, the Borrower, or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(X) any nonperfection of any security interest or other Lien on any of the collateral securing any of the Obligations;

(XI) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Obligations;

(XII) any act or failure to act by the Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower or another Guarantor to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(XIII) any application of sums paid by the Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(XIV) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(XV) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(XVI) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(XVII) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor hereunder (other than the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations).

The value of the consideration received and to be received by each Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each Guarantor incurred or arising under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has determined that such liability and obligation may reasonably be expected to substantially benefit each Guarantor directly or indirectly. Each Guarantor has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to

192

Exhibit 10.1

the Loan and all of the Loan Documents, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the meaning and effect of their contents. Each Guarantor is fully informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing this Guaranty and which a diligent inquiry would reveal. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from each other Loan Party on a continuing basis information concerning such other Loan Party’s financial condition, and is not depending on the Agent or the Lenders to provide such information, now or in the future. Each Guarantor agrees that neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to advise or notify each Guarantor or to provide each Guarantor with any data or information regarding any other Loan Party.

Section 4. Action with Respect to Obligations. The Lenders and the Agent may in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Obligations or the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders or the Agent shall elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full. Without limitation to the foregoing, each Guarantor represents and warrants that (i) it is duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been obtained; (ii) the execution, delivery, and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty are within the corporate powers of such Guarantor and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (iii) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Debtor Relief Laws; (iv) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent (that has not been obtained) under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected; (v) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and (vi) the financial information, that has been delivered to Agent by or on behalf of such Guarantor, is complete and correct in all material respects and accurately presents in all material respects the financial condition and the operational results of such Guarantor.

193

Exhibit 10.1

Section 6. Covenants. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment thereof by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the Guarantors, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty and each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, with respect to any Obligations if at any time any payment of the principal of or interest under the Loans, the Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, and in any such case, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10. Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation that any Guarantor may have shall be subordinate to the rights of Agent and the other Lenders and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and each Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent and the Lenders to secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any tax or other charge; provided that if any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any taxes or other charge from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Each applicable Guarantor shall promptly provide the Agent with an original receipt or certified copy issued by the relevant authority evidencing the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and

194

Exhibit 10.1

apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding any funds held by the Borrower on behalf of tenants or other third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Person to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty held by such Agent or Lender then due and payable. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan or Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower or any other Guarantor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any Guarantor shall receive any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) with respect to a Junior Claim at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 14. Acknowledgement of Benefits; Contribution; Avoidance Provisions.

(a) Acknowledgement of Benefits. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement; that the benefits received by each Guarantor are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Guarantor's execution of this Guaranty; and that such benefits include, without limitation, the access to capital afforded to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement from which the activities of such Guarantor will be supported, as applicable. Each Guarantor is executing this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in consideration of those benefits received by it. This Guaranty is independent of (and shall not be limited by) any other guaranty now existing or hereafter given. Further, each Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty is in addition to any and all other liability such Guarantor may have in any other capacity, including without limitation, any other credit facilities or guaranties between and among Agent, Lenders and such Guarantor in connection with the Borrower.

(b) Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, in connection with payments made hereunder, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor of the Loans in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations

195

Exhibit 10.1

have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full.

(c) Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions.” Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the other Guarantors, the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 17. Jurisdiction; Venue; JURY WAIVER.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO XXXXXX AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN). EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY RELATED APPELLATE COURT AND IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY AND (ii) WAIVE, TO THE

196

Exhibit 10.1

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH A COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. IN ADDITION TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN, THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY BRING ACTION(S) FOR ENFORCEMENT ON A NONEXCLUSIVE BASIS WHERE ANY COLLATERAL OR ASSETS OF ANY GUARANTOR EXIST AND EACH OF THE GUARANTORS CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING CHOICE OF NEW YORK LAW WAS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IN ENTERING INTO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND IN MAKING THE LOANS THEREUNDER. Nothing in this Guaranty shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against ANY Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. EACH GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 26 HEREOF.

(b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS SECTION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH PARTY AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Agent may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of Obligation or otherwise, the entries in such account shall be binding upon each Guarantor as to the outstanding amount of such Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or the

197

Exhibit 10.1

Lenders of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to any Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders and the Agent may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any portion of the Obligations, or grant or sell participation in the Loan, to any Person or entity without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any assignee, transferee or participant of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor or their Subsidiaries. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person.

Section 21. Amendments. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor from the terms and conditions hereof, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. This Guaranty shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

Section 22. Additional Guarantors. The initial Guarantors hereunder shall be each of the Subsidiaries of Borrower that are signatories hereto, which are listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto. From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”) by executing a Guaranty Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Upon delivery of any such Guaranty Joinder Agreement to Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor hereunder and shall be a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.
