(c)all representations and warranties contained herein, in Section 8 of the Amended Credit Agreement and in each other Credit Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (it being understood that (x) any representation or warranty that expressly relates to a given date or period shall only be required to be true and correct as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be and (y) any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such date);

6.General Provisions.

(a)Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on 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. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment and/or any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form (including deliveries by fax, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

(c)Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure for the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(e)Reference to Amendment. On and after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each reference to “Credit Agreement”, “hereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement in any other Credit Document shall mean the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a “Credit Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The undersigned Xxxxxxx, constituting not less than the Required Lenders, hereby instruct the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or EurodollarSOFR Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed for any Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Commitment of such Lender at such time and (v) shall not exceed for all Lenders at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to (x) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Total Commitment at such time.

35

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make at any time and from time to time on or after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided that the Borrower shall repay each Swingline Loan in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is five Business Days after such Swingline Loan was incurred by the Borrower and (ii) the Swingline Expiry Date, provided, further that any Swingline Loan not repaid by the Borrower when so due shall be deemed paid by the proceeds of a new Revolving Loan of equal amount made on such day notwithstanding (A) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (D) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (E) the amount of the Total Commitment at such time, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Swingline Loans) at such time, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, and (v) shall not exceed in the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Swingline Lender’s obligation to make Swingline Loans at any time that there is a Defaulting Lender shall be subject to Section 2.15 and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, and any Borrowing pursuant to the second proviso of Section 2.01(b) above, each a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Commitment at such

36

time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Loans; provided that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.01(b) or (c). More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight Borrowings of EurodollarSOFR Loans in the aggregate.

2.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Loans hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to Mandatory Borrowings), an Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date of each Base Rate Loan incurred hereunder, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to each EurodollarSOFR Loan incurred hereunder. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, EurodollarSOFR Loans and, if EurodollarSOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Xxxxxx’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

37

(b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, an Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Sections 2.01(b) and (c), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as so set forth.

(c)Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing, conversion or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing, conversion or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Representative of the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s and the Swingline Xxxxxx’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing, conversion or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (w) in the case of Revolving Loans to be maintained as Base Rate Loans, no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(b) or (c)), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders ((x) for Loans other than Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day, to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day and (y) for Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day, to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day). Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Xxxxxx, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover

38

such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17 and shall, if requested by such Xxxxxx, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(b) The Revolving Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Restatement Effective Date (or, if issued to an Eligible Transferee after the Restatement Effective Date, be dated the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender and be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and EurodollarSOFR Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Restatement Effective Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

39

(d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time (or from time to time) specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (d). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall (at its expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note or Notes in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Revolving Loan, provided that (i) no partial conversion of EurodollarSOFR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such EurodollarSOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders specifically otherwise agree in writing, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into EurodollarSOFR Loans if no Specified Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of EurodollarSOFR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Loans were made and, if to be converted into EurodollarSOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion.

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans (including Mandatory Borrowings) under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Revolving Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Loans hereunder.

40

2.08 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a EurodollarSOFR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate as in effect from time to time.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each EurodollarSOFR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such EurodollarSOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period.

(c) Overdue principal, fees owing under Section 4 and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of Loans, the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) otherwise, the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) in the case of a repayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans, on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each EurodollarSOFR Loan (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (y) on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR for each Interest Period applicable to the respective EurodollarSOFR Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(f) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

41

2.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any EurodollarSOFR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such EurodollarSOFR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by having an Authorized Representative of the Borrower give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such EurodollarSOFR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, three or six-month period, provided that, in each case:

(i) all EurodollarSOFR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any EurodollarSOFR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such EurodollarSOFR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such EurodollarSOFR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a EurodollarSOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Lenders, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when any Specified Default or any Event of Default is then in existence;

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of EurodollarSOFR Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date; and

(vii) the selection of Interest Periods shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.02.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of EurodollarSOFR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such EurodollarSOFR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such EurodollarSOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

42

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, Benchmark Replacement Setting, etc..

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as set forth below):

(i) (x) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Restatement Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR or (y) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any EurodollarSOFR Loan because of (x) any change since the Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Restatement Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (including the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR with respect to such EurodollarSOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such EurodollarSOFR Loan); provided however, that this Section 2.10(a)(ii) shall apply only to Taxes (other than (A) Withholding Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) with respect to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender having executed, delivered or become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document)) on such Lender’s loans, loan principle, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, or other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any EurodollarSOFR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Restatement Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

43

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or other electronic means) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, EurodollarSOFR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to EurodollarSOFR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Xxxxxx agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist. If any such event described in clause (iii) above ceases to exist as to a Lender, the obligations of such Lender to make EurodollarSOFR Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into EurodollarSOFR Loans on the terms and conditions contained herein shall be reinstated.

(b) At any time that any EurodollarSOFR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a EurodollarSOFR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected EurodollarSOFR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected EurodollarSOFR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such EurodollarSOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period or at such earlier date as may be required to eliminate such circumstance or to comply with applicable law, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Restatement Effective Date the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its

44

Loans or obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Xxxxxx’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change after the Restatement Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

(e) Benchmark Replacement Setting:

(i) (e) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document:

(i) Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (x) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (y) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and allsetting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document. If the and the definition of “Adjusted Term SOFR” shall be deemed modified to delete the addition of the Term SOFR Adjustment to Term SOFR for any calculation and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

45

(ii) determined in accordance with clause (b) of Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-currentsuch Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the 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 Administrative 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. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. If the Benchmark Replacement is based upon Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

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

(iii) (iv) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (xA) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (yB) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.10(e)(iv) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(e).

46

(iv) (v) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR or USD LIBOR)Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that ismodify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii)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 for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate any such previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

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

(vi) Definitions. As used in this Section 2.10(e):

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-currentif such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 2.10(e)(iv).

(b) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the spread adjustment selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of the tenor of USD LIBOR with a SOFR-based rate having approximately the same length as the interest payment period specified in clause (i) of this Section 2.10(e); and

(2b) For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 2.10(e), the sum of: (ai) the alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

provided that, ifIf the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1a) or (2b) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

54

Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement and (y) in the case of a Person providing an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment who is an existing Lender, an amount equal to the sum of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment for such Person as described in such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement plus such Lender’s Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental RL Lender, Revolving Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental RL Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the new Commitment made by such Incremental RL Lender.

(c) In connection with any provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional or new Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental RL Lenders) or (y) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (including by requiring new Revolving Loans to be incurred and added to then outstanding Borrowings of the respective Revolving Loans, even though as a result thereof such new Loans (to the extent required to be maintained as EurodollarSOFR Loans) may have a shorter Interest Period than the then outstanding Borrowings of the respective Revolving Loans), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders effectively participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14), (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any repayment and/or Borrowing required pursuant to preceding clause (i), and (iii) to the extent Revolving Loans are to be so incurred or added to the then outstanding Borrowings of the respective Revolving Loans which are maintained as EurodollarSOFR Loans, the Lenders that have made such Loans shall be entitled to receive from the Borrower such amounts, as reasonably determined by the respective Lenders, to compensate them for funding the various Revolving Loans during an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of the respective Interest Period, based upon rates then applicable thereto). In coordinating the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 2.14(c), the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to minimize (but shall have no express obligation to minimize) costs to the Borrower (including, without limitation, by agreeing in its sole discretion to delay any relevant Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Date to an end of an Interest Period). All determinations by any Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the second preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

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

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 13.12;

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees (including all Fees) or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.02 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to enter into (x) Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings and (y) Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of all Swingline Loan Exposure; fourth, 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 such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such 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 Unpaid Drawings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Unpaid Drawings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). 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 enter into Back-Stop Arrangements pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(iii) (A) the Borrower shall not be required to pay (x) any Facility Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or (y) any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;

56

(B) if the Letter of Credit Exposure or Swingline Loan Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv) below, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure or Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee;

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Individual Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 13.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Xxxxxx 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; and

(v) If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Swingline Loan Exposure and (y) within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent second, enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements in respect of the Issuing Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (iv) above).

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative 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 Back-Stop Arrangements), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such 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.

57

(c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (x) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans and (y) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that 100% of the related Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loan Exposure is fully covered or eliminated by any combination of the following: (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated, as to outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided in Section 2.15(a)(iv) above and (ii) without limiting the provisions of clause (a)(v) above, the Borrower has entered into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements or Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements, as applicable, in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only. It is acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit which were issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date and are set forth on Schedule III (each such letter of credit, an “Existing Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall, from and after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and shall, for purposes of Sections 3.04 and 4.01, be deemed issued on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date. Schedule III sets forth, with respect to Existing Letters of Credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the stated amount, (iv) the name of the beneficiary and (v) the expiry date.

(i)any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or

58

directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder), in any such case not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the Restatement Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the Restatement Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii)such Issuing Lender shall have received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued in the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed the lesser of (x) $50,000,000, (y) with respect to any Issuing Lender, the Maximum L/C Amount of such Issuing Lender without the consent of such Issuing Lender or (z) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, and (ii) (x) each standby Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs twelve months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to twelve months, but not beyond the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date without Issuing Lender consent, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender thereof) and (B) the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, and (y) each trade Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of the issuance thereof and (B) the date which is 30 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

3.02 Minimum Stated Amount. The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.03 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued hereunder for its account, the Borrower shall have (x) executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days prior to the issuance thereof (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender), a Letter of Credit Request. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and shall be delivered together with such other certificates, documents and other information as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably requests. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.01), (iii) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (v) the purpose and nature of such Letter of Credit and (vi) such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

59

(b)The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.01(c). Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.01(c), then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of, or modification or amendment to, any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender thereof shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. With respect to trade Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of any Letter of Credit at any time that there is a Defaulting Lender shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.15.

3.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, other than such Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit and each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender or of all Lenders, as the case may be.

(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender 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 and non-appealable proceeding, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

(c)In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall

60

promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, on or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment with respect to any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Percentage of any such payment.

(d)Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e)Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit or modifications or amendments thereto issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f)The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever (the respective Issuing Xxxxxx’s only obligation being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

61

(ii)the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv)the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v)the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender, by making payment in Dollars (which payment may be made through a Borrowing of Revolving Loans) to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in immediately available funds for the account of such Issuing Lender, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by the next Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a Letter of Credit disbursement made by such Issuing Lender (provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on such day), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following notice by the Issuing Lender to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%, in each such case, with such interest, in each case, to be payable by the Borrower on demand. The respective Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender with respect to drawings on Letters of Credit (including interest thereon) (each, a “Drawing”) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as Participant), or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Lender’s only obligation to the Borrower being to confirm that

62

any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender 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 and non-appealable proceeding, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower.

3.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in generally acceptable accounting principles, shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon demand to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which demand shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent) and subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital, provided however, that this Section 3.06 shall apply only to Taxes (other than (A) Withholding Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) with respect to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender having executed, delivered or become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document)) on such Lender’s loans, loan principle, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, or other liabilities or capital attributable thereto. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, if delivered in good faith and absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

63

SECTION 4. Facility Fee; Other Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) for the account of such Non-Defaulting Lenders for the period from the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage on the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender (as in effect from time to time) (regardless of utilization). Accrued Facility Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Commitment is terminated; provided that in connection with any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.15, Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be paid the Facility Fee that would otherwise have been payable in respect of the relevant Defaulting Lenders’ participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lenders.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time) with respect to EurodollarSOFR Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit; provided that the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.15(a).

Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Commitment has been terminated and such Letter of Credit has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Incremental RL Lender such fees and other amounts, if any, as are specified in the relevant Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, with the fees and other amounts, if any, to be payable on the respective Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Date.

64

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers.

4.02 Optional Commitment Reductions. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice from an Authorized Representative of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Commitment, provided that any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000. Each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Commitment of each Lender.

(b) In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, subject to its compliance with the requirements of Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) terminate all of the Commitments of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts), and such Lender’s Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and at such time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

4.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Maturity Date.

4.04 Commitment Extensions. The Borrower, may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not less than 45 days and not more than 90 days prior to each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date (each such notice a “Maturity Extension Request”), request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional one-year period, in each such case. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s Maturity Extension Request, advise the Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended by one year to the anniversary of the Maturity Date in effect at such time. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Extension

65

Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the then existing Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of their respective Loans pursuant to Section 5.01 as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (i) no Lender’s Total Unutilized Commitment shall exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment and (ii) the sum of the Total Commitments of all the Lenders shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments of all Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower shall have the right, pursuant to Section 2.13, at any time prior to the then Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a Maturity Extension Request, and any such Replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless the Borrower shall have satisfied such conditions precedent as the consenting Lenders shall require.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) an Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrower’s intent to prepay Base Rate Loans and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of their intent to prepay EurodollarSOFR Loans, whether Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of EurodollarSOFR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or $100,000 in the case of Swingline Loans), provided that if any partial prepayment of EurodollarSOFR Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding EurodollarSOFR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of EurodollarSOFR Loans and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; and (iii) each prepayment in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans, provided that subject to Section 2.15, at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans of a Defaulting Lender.

66

(b)In the event of certain refusals by a Lender as provided in Section 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ written notice by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) repay all Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees, and other amounts owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b) so long as (A) the Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Commitments) and (B) the consents required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) have been obtained.

5.02 Mandatory Repayments and Cash Collateralizations. (a) On any day on which the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) exceeds the Total Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower agrees to prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after the Swingline Loans have been repaid in full, Revolving Loans, in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any existing Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 100% of the amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements provided under this Section 5.02(b) or Section 2.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangement was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c)With respect to each repayment of Revolving Loans required by Section 5.02(a), the Borrower may designate the Types of Revolving Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of EurodollarSOFR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, provided that: (i) repayments of EurodollarSOFR Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(a) may only be

67

made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all EurodollarSOFR Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of EurodollarSOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding EurodollarSOFR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of Revolving Loans required by Section 5.02(a) shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(d)In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date and (ii) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date.

5.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 PM (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

5.04 Net Payments; Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as required by applicable law, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any Excluded Taxes) (all such non-excluded Taxes being referred to collectively as “Withholding Taxes”). If any Withholding Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Withholding Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Withholding Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Credit Document or in such Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Withholding Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Withholding Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Xxxxxx. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower

68

or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.04(b)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup Withholding Tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or 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 Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(ii)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)

69

of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(iv)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-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 D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

70

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

(c)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 5.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party 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 paragraph (c) (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 paragraph (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (c) 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 had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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 deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(d)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Withholding Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Withholding Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04 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 Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)For purposes of this Section 5.04, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

8.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Credit Documents. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except, in the case of the aforementioned unaudited financial statements, for normal year-end and audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

(b) Since January 2, 2021, there has been no condition or circumstance that, individually or in the aggregate with such other conditions or circumstances, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) On and as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred or assumed, with respect to each of the Borrower and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (x) the sum of its or their assets (including goodwill), at a fair valuation, will exceed its or their debts; (y) it or they have not incurred and do not intend to incur, nor believe that it or they will incur, debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature; and (z) it or they will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their business. For purposes of this Section 8.05(c), “debt” means any liability on a claim and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(d) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 8.05(a) or in any SEC filing of the Borrower prior to the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, incurred in the ordinary course of business or created by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, there were, as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, no material liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which would, under GAAP, be required to be disclosed on consolidated financial statements (or footnotes thereto) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries if same had been prepared as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date. In addition, as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, there are no liabilities or obligations (other than those incurred in the ordinary course of business) with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever not required to be disclosed in such financial statements in accordance with GAAP that, individually or in the aggregate, have had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all factual information contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at the time such information was provided; provided, however, that with respect to projected financial information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the Borrower represents only that such information has been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable. As of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification (if any) is true and correct in all respects.

8.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) From and after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, all proceeds of Loans and Letters of Credit shall be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes (including capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and share repurchases).

(b) Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of the Margin Regulations. At the time of each Credit Event and after giving effect thereto (including after giving effect to the application of proceeds therefrom), no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower, or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, constitutes Margin Stock.

75

(c) The Borrower will not request any Borrowing, and the Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use or otherwise make available to its Subsidiaries or its or their respective directors, officers and employees the proceeds of any Borrowing to fund any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions required to be observed by any party hereto. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, to provide anything of value to any officer or employee of a foreign (non-U.S.) governmental entity or authority, any foreign (non-U.S.) political party, any officer or employee of a foreign (non-U.S.) political party, any candidate for foreign (non-U.S.) political office, any officer or employee of an international organization, and any officer or employee of a foreign (non-U.S.) government or state-owned or controlled entity (collectively referred to as “Foreign Official”), to obtain, retain, or direct business, secure any improper advantage, or influence any act or decision within the scope of that Foreign Official’s lawful duty, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the UK Bribery Act 2010 or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws.

8.09 Tax Returns and Payments. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed, on the due dates thereof (including applicable extensions) or within applicable grace periods, with the appropriate taxing authority, all material Federal, state, foreign and other returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than (a) those contested in good faith and for which reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (b) where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

94

12.02 Nature of Duties. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of each Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; no Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The right of an Agent to perform any discretionary act under this Agreement shall not be constructed as a duty to act.

12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent nor any of its affiliates or any of its officers, directors, agents, or employees shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and each Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such notice without independent investigation.

12.04 Certain Rights of the Agents. (a) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to any discretionary consent, election, designation, approval, acceptance or use of judgment by, or any consent or other discretionary action or remedies that may be taken or withheld by any Agent, the Agent shall not be obligated to take (or refrain from taking) such action if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any such discretionary act or action (including any failure to so act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Agent shall not be obligated to take (or refrain from taking) such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by

95

reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

(b)No Agent shall be obligated to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. An Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of such Agent, violate applicable law or any provision this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(c)In no event shall any Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Documents, nor be deemed to be in breach of its duties hereunder or thereunder, to the extent such failure, delay or breach is because of circumstances beyond the Agent’s control, including, but not limited to, a failure, termination, or suspension of a clearing house, securities depositary, settlement system or central payment system in any applicable part of the world or acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), civil or military disturbances or hostilities, epidemic or pandemic, nuclear or natural catastrophes, political unrest, explosion, severe weather or accident, earthquake, terrorism, fire, riot, labor disturbances, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like (whether domestic, federal, state, county or municipal or foreign) which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, or any other causes beyond the Agent’s control whether or not of the same class or kind as specified above.

12.05 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that such Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by such Agent (which may be counsel for the Credit Parties).

12.06 Indemnification. To the extent any Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any affiliate thereof), in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this

96

Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.07 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans and participate in Letters of Credit under this Agreement (if any), each Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.09 Resignation by the Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (c) and (d) below or as otherwise provided below; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 15 Business Days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on such 15th Business Day following receipt of such notice (or such earlier date agreed by the Required Lenders, as applicable).

97

(c)Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required at any time when an Event of Default exists), appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company.

(d)If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required at any time when an Event of Default exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e)If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(f)Each of the other Agents may resign from the performance of all of their respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving five Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period after the respective notice is given to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as an Agent.

12.10 Delivery of Information. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower under Section 9.01 and (iii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(b)Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge that the Administrative Agent will make information available to the Lenders by posting the information on Debtdomain or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). Each Lender agrees that any document or notice posted on the Platform by the Administrative Agent shall constitute delivery to the Lenders. Xxxxxxxx and the Lenders further agree that, to the extent reasonably practicable, any document delivered to

98

the Administrative Agent for purposes of compliance with any provision of this Agreement or for dissemination to any other party hereto shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in electronic form capable of being posted to the Platform. Borrower and each Lender understands that the distribution of materials and other communications through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and the Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Platform or the adequacy of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the information contained on the Platform.

12.11 The Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Lead Arrangers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, and each Lead Arranger are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that (x) the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent and each Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01 and (y) the Agents shall have all approval rights specifically provided in this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents or the Lead Arrangers shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

101

(but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of its material obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by, the Indemnified Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

13.02 Right of Setoff; Payment Set Aside. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Lender or their Affiliate wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of all Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Lender or their Affiliate under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders and their Affiliates, and

102

(y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Xxxxxx agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; provided that this Section 13.02(b) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof not have been subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and, provided, further, that although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitment hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or Note or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Xxxxxx in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit 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, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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 Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.04(a) to the contrary, any Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender that (A) has purchased, and owns, a participation or sub-participation in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 on or after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, (B) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participation Notification”), designated as a voting Participant (“Voting Participant”) by the relevant Lender (including any so designated existing Voting

105

Participant) and (C) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Participant, the consent of the Administrative Agent (to the extent required if such Voting Participant were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 13.04(b)), shall be entitled to vote as if such Voting Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a vote by Xxxxxxx, and the voting rights of the selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) shall be correspondingly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Voting Participant Notification shall include, with respect to each subject Voting Participant, the information required of an assignee in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in Voting Participant Notifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule VII shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participation Notification and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The voting rights of each Voting Participant are solely for the benefit of such Voting Participant and shall not insure to any assignee or participant of such Voting Participant that is not a Farm Credit Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding Obligations hereunder (or, if the Commitments have terminated, its outstanding Obligations) to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company, provided, that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder (or, if the Commitments have terminated, its outstanding Obligations) to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitment of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) at the request of the assignee Lender, and upon surrender of the relevant Revolving Notes or the provision of a customary lost note indemnification agreement from the assignor or assignee Lender, as the case may be, new Revolving Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, such new Revolving Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and, at any time when no Event of Default under Section 11.01 or Section 11.05 is in existence, the Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of

106

$3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.17 hereof. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and related assigned Obligations (it being understood that, in the event that an assigning Lender assigns all of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder, the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.01 and 13.06) shall, in any event, survive as to such assigning Lender). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 greater than those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such greater increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) such Defaulting Lender’s full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

107

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or such central bank having supervisory jurisdiction over such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or such central bank having supervisory jurisdiction over such Lender and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to its trustee or such collateral agent, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received; provided, that any amounts received from or on behalf of the Borrower following an Event of Default, including through the exercise of remedies hereunder, shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses (including fees of legal counsel and any other costs and expenses incurred in connection with any remedies taken in accordance with this Agreement or any other Credit Document) and indemnities due to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Documents.

108

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Facility Fees or other Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent).

(b) All computations of interest on Eurodollar Loans and computations ofand Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of computations of interest on Base Rate Loans at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, on the basis of a year of 365/366 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (i) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under clause (b) below) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly 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 transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this ‎Section 13.19 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative 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 (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) 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 Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

116

(b)Without limiting ‎Section 13.19(a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns) hereby further agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Person who has received funds for its account) 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 Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative 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), then in each such case:

(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake 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 the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this ‎Section 13.19(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.19(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 13.19(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under ‎Section 13.19(a).

(d)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with ‎Section 13.19(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 Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such effect to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a

117

cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender 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, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. 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. (ii) Subject to Section 13.04 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Xxxxxx (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (A) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (B) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e)The parties hereto agree that (i) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that Xxxxxxxx’s Obligations and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable, under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable, in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and

118

(ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations owed by Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that this ‎Section 13.19 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from Borrower 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 Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this ‎Section 13.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or 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 Credit Document.

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

13.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit 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

119

(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 Credit Document; or

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

13.22 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

13.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap contracts 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 Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

120

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 Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 13.23, 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.

(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).

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Swingline Lender or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents, irrespective of whether the any Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Swingline Lender or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; and (b) (i) the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
