The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision of this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. All references herein to Sections, paragraphs, clauses, subclauses, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Sections, paragraphs, clauses and subclauses of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) all references to documents, instruments and other agreements (including the Credit Documents and organizational documents) shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent such amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Credit Document and (b) references to any law, statute, rule or regulation shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such law.

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio set forth in Section 2.15(a)); or

in each case, at the option of Lead Borrower (Lead Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be made (1) in the case of any acquisition (including by way of merger) or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith), at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment, (y) the public announcement of an intention to make an offer in respect of the target of such acquisition or Investment or (z) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, (2) in the case of any

Exhibit A-48

Dividend, at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Dividend or (y) the making of such Dividend and (3) in the case of any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on or redemption or acquisition for value of any Indebtedness subject to Section 10.07(a), at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such payment or prepayment or redemption or acquisition of such Indebtedness or (y) the making of such voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on or redemption or acquisition for value of any Indebtedness (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, for the Limited Condition Transaction (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if Lead Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of Lead Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If Lead Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Dividends, the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Lead Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, public announcement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, revoked or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.04 Classification and Reclassification. It is understood and agreed that any Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend, Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend, Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07(a), respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof (it being understood that Lead Borrower may utilize amounts under any category that is subject to any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, prior to amounts under any other category). For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 10.01 and 10.04, in the event that any Lien or Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 10.01 and 10.04, Lead Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one category. Reclassifications of any utilization of the Incremental Amount shall occur automatically to the extent set forth in the definition thereof.

1.05 Divisions. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Once repaid, Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment from time to time severally agrees to make term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) to the Borrowers, which Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iii) shall, except as hereinafter provided, at the option of Lead Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Term Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans; provided that all Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Incremental Term Loans of the same Type, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Incremental Term Loan Lender at any time of any incurrence thereof, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender for such Tranche (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 4.02(b)).

Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Exhibit A-50

(ii) On December 31, 2021 (after giving effect to the mandatory payment of Initial Term Loans (other than 2021 Incremental Term Loans) pursuant to Section 5.02(a) on the last Business Day of December 2021), all 2021 Incremental Term Loans outstanding at such time shall be automatically, without any action or consent of any party to this Agreement, converted into Initial Term Loans (the date of such conversion, the “2021 Incremental Term Loans Conversion Date”), shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Initial Term Loans (including as to maturity) outstanding hereunder immediately prior to the 2021 Incremental Term Loans Conversion Date and the Initial Term Loans and 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall collectively comprise a single fungible Tranche of Term Loans.

Whenever the Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing of Term Loans hereunder, Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans to be made hereunder and at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Term SOFR Term Loan to be made hereunder; provided that (a) in each case, any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given, with respect to Base Rate Term Loans, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such day or, with respect to Term SOFR Term Loans, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such day (or, in each case, such later time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in it its sole and absolute discretion), (b) in any event, any such notice with respect to Initial Term Loans to be incurred on the First Restatement Effective Date may be given (including in the case of any LIBO rate Borrowing) one Business Day prior to the First Restatement Effective Date and (c) that if the Borrowers wish to request Term SOFR Term Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration, or less than one month in duration with the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, in each case, having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender with a Commitment of the relevant Tranche of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., two Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify Lead Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period that is other than one, three or six months in duration has been consented to by such Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.11, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing by or on behalf of Lead Borrower, in the form of Exhibit A-1 or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed by a Responsible Officer of Lead Borrower to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) whether the Term Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Term Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, (v) in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto and (vi) the account of the Borrowers into which the proceeds of such Term Loans shall be deposited or other wire instructions therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Xxxxxx’s

Exhibit A-51

proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment of the relevant Tranche 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. All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Notice Office, and the Administrative Agent will make all funds so received by it in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds to the account designated in writing by Lead Borrower (including in any Notice of Borrowing) from time to time. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any 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 Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover 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 Lead Borrower and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking rules on interbank compensation and (ii) if recovered from the Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the relevant 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 Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Xxxxxx to make Term Loans hereunder.

(b) Payments by a Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by a Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 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.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.05 Notes.

(a) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.04 and shall, if requested by such Xxxxxx, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the

Exhibit A-52

Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Term 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 Term Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect each Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any conflict arises between the records maintained pursuant to this Section and the Register, the Register shall control.

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

2.06 Interest Rate Conversions.

(a) Lead 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 Term Loans of a given Tranche made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Term Loans, into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Term Loan; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11, Term SOFR Term Loans may be converted into Base Rate Term Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Term Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Term SOFR Term Loans, as the case may be, shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Term SOFR Term Loans, made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) to the extent the Required Lenders have, or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders has, so notified Lead Borrower in writing, Base Rate Term Loans may not be converted into Term SOFR Term Loans if any 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 Term SOFR Term Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Such conversion shall be effected by Lead Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office a notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the date of such conversion or continuation (in the case of any conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Term Loans) or 12:00 noon (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the date of such conversion (in the case of any conversion to Base Rate Term Loans) (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2 or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed by a Responsible Officer of Lead Borrower to specify the Term Loans of a given Tranche to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Term SOFR Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Term Loans.

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans under this Agreement, subject to Section 2.10(d), shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Commitments as the case may be. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

2.08 Interest.

(a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Term Loan (including with respect to any Term SOFR Term Loan converted into a Base

Exhibit A-53

Rate Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09) made to the Borrowers hereunder from the date of Borrowing thereof (or, in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding parenthetical, from the date of conversion of the respective Term SOFR Term Loan into a Base Rate Term Loan) until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Term Loan to a Term SOFR Term 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 Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Term SOFR Term Loan made to the Borrowers 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 Term SOFR Term Loan to a Base Rate Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, 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 applicable Term SOFR for such Interest Period.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 (x) overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) for Base Rate Term Loans and associated interest, 2.00% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Term Loans plus the Base Rate, (ii) for Term SOFR Term Loans and associated interest, 2.00% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Term Loans plus Term SOFR and (y) overdue amounts with respect to Fees shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Term Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time, in each case with such interest to be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be calculated daily and payable (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on (w) the date of any conversion of a Term SOFR Term Loan to a Base Rate Term Loan (on the amount so converted) prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (x) the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after such maturity, on demand.

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

(f) All interest hereunder and any Fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09 Interest Periods. At the time Lead Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Term SOFR Term Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Term Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), Lead Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Term SOFR Term Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of Lead Borrower be a one, three or six month period, or, such other period that is twelve months or less requested by the Borrower and consented to by all relevant Lenders participating in the relevant Tranche and the Administrative Agent (in the case of each requested Interest Period, subject to availability); provided that (in each case):

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

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Term SOFR Term Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Term SOFR Term Loan (including, in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, the date of

Exhibit A-54

any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Term SOFR Term Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Term Loan 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 for a Term SOFR Term Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Term 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 the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Term SOFR Term Loan may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date therefor.

With respect to any Term SOFR Term Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing thereof, Lead Borrower may elect to split the respective Borrowing of a single Type under a single Tranche into two or more Borrowings of different Types under such Tranche or combine two or more Borrowings under a single Tranche into a single Borrowing of the same Type under such Tranche, in each case, by Lead Borrower giving notice thereof together with its election of one or more Interest Periods applicable thereto, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche, and (z) does not cause a violation of the requirements of Section 2.02. If by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Term SOFR Term Loans, Lead Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Term SOFR, Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have elected in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, to convert such Term SOFR Term Loans into Base Rate Term Loans with such conversion to be effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “Term SOFR”; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of a Term SOFR Term Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of a Term SOFR Term Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of a Base Rate Term Loan.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

Exhibit A-55

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Term SOFR Term Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Term Loans or to convert Base Rate Term Loans to Term SOFR Term Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Term Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Term Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Term Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Term Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(e) A certificate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (b) or (c) of this Section, and certifying that it is the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances at such time to the extent it is legally permitted to do so, shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, notifies Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or

Exhibit A-56

reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11 Compensation. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the calculation of the amount of such compensation; it being understood that no Lender shall be required to disclose (i) any confidential or price sensitive information, or (ii) any other information, to the extent prohibited by any Requirement of Law), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Term SOFR Term Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits (and without giving effect to the minimum “Term SOFR”)) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Term SOFR Term Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Term SOFR Term Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Term SOFR Term Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Lead Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrowers to repay Term SOFR Term Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(b), (c) or (d) or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Lead Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Term Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 5.04.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(b), (c) or (d) or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to 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), Lead Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be required for an assignment to such Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 13.04); provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among Lead Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Term Loans of, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced and (II) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 and (ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register pursuant to Section 13.04 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender

Exhibit A-57

shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.07 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender with respect to actions or occurrences prior to it ceasing to be a Lender hereunder.

2.14 Extended Term Loans.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.14, Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”), be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Lead Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) have the same terms as the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the applicable Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); (iv) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; (v) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (vi) such Extended Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in the preceding clause (i) through (v)) that differ from those of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the requirements set forth above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Lead Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.14. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Term Loan Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Request on or prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant

Exhibit A-58

to such Extension Request, Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, subject to such Extension Elections shall either (i) be converted to Extended Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche included in such Extension Elections, subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent or (ii) to the extent such option is expressly set forth in the applicable Extension Request, be converted to Extended Term Loans upon an increase in the amount of Extended Term Loans so that such excess does not exist.

(d) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Loan Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.14(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. After giving effect to the Extension, the Term Loans so extended shall cease to be a part of the Tranche they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension.

(e) Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to each Extension and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the applicable Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.02 or 13.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14; provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of any Extension Request.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) reasonably necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of any Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 5.02(a) with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)), (iii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 13.12(d), (iv) establish new Tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section 2.14 and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14, and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In connection with any Extension, the Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent), to the extent required pursuant to applicable local law.

2.15 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(a) Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that one or more Lenders (or one or more Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrowers and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the relevant Incremental Term Loan Amendment, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by Lead Borrower, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iv) the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments made available pursuant to a given Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment thereunder (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000, (v) the aggregate principal amount of any

Exhibit A-59

Incremental Term Loans on the date of the incurrence thereof shall not exceed, when taken together with any incurrence of Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Permitted Junior Debt pursuant to Section 10.04(xxvii)(A)(1) on such date, (x) the then-remaining Fixed Dollar Incremental Amount as of the date of incurrence plus (y) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable Incurrence-Based Incremental Facility Test, any Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount that may be incurred thereunder on such date, (vi) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrowers may be used for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement, (vii) Lead Borrower shall specifically designate, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements of Section 2.15(c) are satisfied), which designation shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, (viii) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Agreement, except as to purpose (which is subject to the requirements of the preceding clause (vi)) and optional prepayment provisions and mandatory prepayment provisions (which are governed by Section 5.02; provided that each new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to share in mandatory prepayments on a ratable basis with the other Tranches of Term Loans (unless the holders of the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche agree to take a lesser share of any such prepayments)); provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) a Maturity Date of no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred and (b) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans with the then longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity (in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (I)), (II) the Effective Yield applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, with the Effective Yield applicable thereto to be specified in the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment; provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans incurred prior the date that is six (6) months after the First Restatement Effective Date, exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.75% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II)) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrowers shall be Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Amendment as provided in Section 2.01(b) and such Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and (xi) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Amendment (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date on which (w) a fully executed copy of such Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (x) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon upfront or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent to the extent it served as the arranger for the Incremental Term Loan Commitments), (y) all

Exhibit A-60

Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, and (z) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Amendment, and at such time, (i) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Term Notes will be issued at the Borrowers’ expense to such Incremental Term Loan Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the new Incremental Term Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.15, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Amendment may specify therein that the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Term Loans, in any case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall have the same Borrowers, the same Maturity Date and the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Scheduled Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis)) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately; and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender holding Term Loans under the respective Tranche of Term Loans participates in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche (after giving effect to the incurrence of such new Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) on a pro rata basis.

To the extent the provisions of the preceding clause (iii) require that Incremental Term Loan Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Term SOFR Term Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having irregular Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term SOFR Term Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period), which irregular interest periods shall be permitted notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. All determinations by any the Administrative Agent of Term SOFR in such circumstances pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.16 Inability to Determine Rates; Successor Rate.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Lead Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Lead Borrower) that the Lead Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for any Interest Period hereunder or any other tenors of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

Exhibit A-61

(ii) the administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide Term SOFR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) the administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such administrator has made a public statement announcing that all Interest Periods and other tenors of Term SOFR are no longer representative; or

(iv) U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.16, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace Term SOFR;

then, in the case of clauses (i)-(iii) above, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and shall occur within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Credit Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the “Successor Rate”; and any such rate before giving effect to the Related Adjustment, the “Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate”):

(x) [Reserved]; and

(y) SOFR plus the Related Adjustment;

and in the case of clause (iv) above, the Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document in accordance with the definition of “Successor Rate” and such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time), on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have notified all Lenders and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the circumstances described in clause (iv) above unless, prior to such time, the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to the implementation of a Successor Rate pursuant to such clause.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of (x) any occurrence of any of the events, periods or circumstances under clauses (i) through (iii) above, (y) a Term SOFR Replacement Date and (z) the Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing

Exhibit A-62

such Successor Rate Conforming Changes to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

If the events or circumstances of the type described in 2.16(a)(i)-(iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then the successor rate thereto shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “Successor Rate.”

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) after any such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice described under Section 2.16(a)(i)-(iii), as applicable, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that none of the Successor Rates is available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, (ii) if the events or circumstances described in Section 2.16(a)(iv) have occurred but none of the Successor Rates is available, or (iii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.16(a)(i)-(iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect and the Administrative Agent determines that none of the Successor Rates is available, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.16 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any Related Adjustments and any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Lead Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) If, at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.16 and the circumstances under clauses (a)(i) or (a)(iii) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Term Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Term Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods), and (y) Term SOFR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, until the Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clauses (a) or (b). Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Term Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Term Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a committed Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

2.17 [Reserved].

2.18 Refinancing Term Loans.

(a) Lead Borrower may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund all or any portion of one or more Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement selected by Lead Borrower; provided, that such Refinancing Term Loans may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and upfront fees, original issue discount, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant to Section 2.15 and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses of Section 2.15. Each such notice shall specify the date (each,

Exhibit A-63

a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which Lead Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a final stated maturity (excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the maturity requirements of this clause (i)) before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced;

(ii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall have pricing (including interest rates, fees and premiums), amortization, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (so long as such Refinancing Term Loans are not entitled to participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment than the then outstanding Term Loans) and redemption terms as may be agreed to by the Borrowers and the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Lenders (as defined below);

(iii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than Holdings, the Borrowers or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(iv) in the case of any such Refinancing Term Loans that are secured, such Refinancing Term Loans are secured only by assets comprising Collateral, and not secured by any property or assets of Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;

(v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (except as set forth above), taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, than the related provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lead Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Lead Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in this clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to Lead Borrower of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects)).

(b) The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Transferee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment and subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (a) above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.18(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans on the terms specified by Lead Borrower) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by Section 2.18(a). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a). Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto without the consent of any other Lender and the Lenders hereby

Exhibit A-64

irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of Section 2.18 including such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to adjust the amortization schedule in Section 5.02(a) (insofar as such schedule relates to payments due to Lenders the Term Loans of which are refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans; provided that no such amendment shall reduce the pro rata share of any such payment that would have otherwise been payable to the Lenders, the Term Loans of which are not refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans). The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers to effect the foregoing.

2.19 Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Holdings, Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may, at any time and from time to time, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans of a particular Tranche (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent or any other bank or investment bank of recognized standing selected by Lead Borrower (with the consent of the Administrative Agent or such other bank or investment bank) following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.19(a) and Schedule 2.19(a);

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each auction notice and at the time of purchase of Term Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $2,500,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(iv) the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any borrowing under the ABL Credit Agreement to finance any such repurchase; and

(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be cancelled and retired on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold).

(b) Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction. Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may withdraw any Auction if the reply amounts are insufficient to complete the purchase of a minimum principal amount of the Term Loans designated in writing to the applicable Auction Manager by Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary (the “Minimum Purchase Condition”). No Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have any liability to any Lender for any termination of such Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the such Auction, or for any termination of such Auction as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Purchase Condition, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.19, (x) Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made therefor and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06. At the time of purchases of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction, the then remaining Scheduled Repayments shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount (taking the face amount thereof) of Term Loans repurchased

Exhibit A-65

pursuant to such Auction, with such reduction to be applied to such Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based on the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayments).

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by Holdings, Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary contemplated by this Section 2.19 shall not constitute Investments by such Person)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 12 and Section 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent and the Auction Manager shall cooperate in a reasonable manner in connection therewith.

2.20 Open Market Purchases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Holdings, Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, at any time and from time to time, make open market purchases of Term Loans (each, an “Open Market Purchase”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such Open Market Purchase;

(ii) neither Holdings, Lead Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall use the proceeds of any borrowing under the ABL Credit Agreement to finance any such purchase; and

(iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by Holdings, Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold).

(b) With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.20, (x) Holdings, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant purchase documents as agreed by the respective selling Lender) and (y) such purchases (and the payments made therefor and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06. At the time of purchases of Term Loans pursuant to any Open Market Purchase, the then remaining Scheduled Repayments shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount (taking the face amount thereof) of Term Loans repurchased pursuant to such Open Market Purchase, with such reduction to be applied to such Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based on the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayments).

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Open Market Purchases contemplated by this Section 2.20 and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by Holdings, Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary contemplated by this Section 2.20 shall not constitute Investments by such Person)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Open Market Purchase by this Section 2.20.

2.21 Sponsor and Affiliate Term Loan Purchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sponsor and any Affiliate of the Sponsor (other than Holdings, Lead Borrower or any Subsidiary) may be an assignee in respect of Term Loans (and to such extent shall be deemed an “Eligible Transferee”); provided that:

Exhibit A-66

(a) at the time of acquisition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by the Sponsor and Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates), together with the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so acquired, shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans at such time;

(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or in Section 13.12, the holder of any Term Loans acquired pursuant to this Section 2.21(b) (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not be entitled to vote such Term Loans in any “Required Lender” vote or direction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and for purposes of any such vote or direction such Term Loans shall be deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that the holder of such Term Loans shall have the right to consent to votes requiring the consent of “all Lenders” or “all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby” pursuant to Section 13.12 or otherwise, or any other amendment which treats such Lenders differently from other Lenders);

(c) by acquiring a Term Loan hereunder, the Sponsor or such applicable Affiliate (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall be deemed to have (I) waived its right to receive information prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any advisor, agent or counsel thereof) under or in connection with the Credit Documents (in each case to the extent not provided to the Credit Parties) and attend any meeting or conference call with the Administrative Agent or any Lender (unless any Credit Party has been invited to attend such meeting or conference call), (II) agreed that it is prohibited from making or bringing any claim (but not from joining any claim initiated by any other Lender and acting as a passive participant with respect thereto), in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Credit Documents, and (III) agreed, without limiting its rights as a Lender described in Section 2.21(b), that it will have no right whatsoever, in its capacity as a Lender, to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(d) the Sponsor or such Affiliate (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) identifies itself as an Affiliate of the Credit Parties prior to the assignment of Term Loans to it pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption; provided that this clause (d) shall not apply in the case of an acquisition of Term Loans through an un-Affiliated intermediary to the extent the Sponsor or such Affiliate has made any representations and warranties to such intermediary as are required by such intermediary in connection with its engagement as such (which may include, to the extent required by such intermediary, a representation and warranty that it does not possess any material non-public information about the Credit Parties and their respective securities);

(e) Term Loans acquired by the Sponsor and Affiliates thereof shall be subject to the voting limitations set forth in Section 13.04(g);

(f) notwithstanding anything in Section 13.12 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 13.12; and

(g) each assignor and assignee party any relevant assignment under this Section 2.21 shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the Assignment and Assumption.

(a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(b) At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Transaction that is consummated prior to the date that is six (6) months after Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid (and/or converted) pursuant to such Repricing Transaction (including, if applicable, each Lender that withholds its consent to a Repricing Transaction of the type described in clause (2) of the definition thereof and is replaced as a non-consenting Lender under Section 2.13), a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Transaction of the type described in clause (1) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid (or converted) by any Borrower in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of a Repricing Transaction of the type described in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding with respect to the Borrowers on such date that are subject to an effective reduction of the Applicable Margin pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

4.02 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

(a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, (i) the Total Initial Term Loan Commitment terminated in its entirety on the First Restatement Effective Date after the funding of all Initial Term Loans on such date and (ii) the 2021 Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans on such date).

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment (and the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment after the funding of all relevant Incremental Term Loans on such date.

(c) Each reduction to the Total Initial Term Loan Commitment and the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche pursuant to this Section 4.02 as provided above (or pursuant to Section 5.02) shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Initial Term Loan Commitment or the Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a Commitment.

Exhibit A-68

of Term SOFR Term Loans, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by Lead Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans; provided that it is understood and agreed that this clause (iii) may be modified as expressly provided in Section 2.14 in connection with an Extension Amendment; and (iv) each prepayment of principal of Term Loans of a given Tranche pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied as directed by Lead Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any such notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the occurrence of a Change of Control or any similar event), in which case such notice may be revoked by Lead Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) In the event (i) of a refusal by a Lender to consent to proposed changed, amendments, 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) or (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Lead Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (or such shorter notice as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) repay all Term Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, Section 13.12(b), so long as, in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (i) hereof, the consents, if any, required under Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to such clause (i) have been obtained. Each prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the applicable Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining unpaid principal amounts of Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

5.02 Mandatory Repayments.

(a) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Repayment Date”), the Borrowers shall be required to repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders (i) with respect to the Initial Term Loans (other than 2021 Incremental Term Loans), on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with June 30, 2021 and ending on the 2021 Incremental Term Loans Conversion Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,625,000 and (ii) with respect to the Initial Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, 2021 Incremental Term Loans), on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing after the 2021 Incremental Term Loans Conversion Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,254,722.93, (iii) on the Initial Maturity Date for Initial Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, 2021 Incremental Term Loans), the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans that remain outstanding on such date (each such repayment described in clauses (i) through (iii), as the same may be reduced as provided in this Agreement, including in Section 2.19, 2.20, 5.01 or 5.02(g), or as a result of the application of prepayments or otherwise in connection with any Extension as provided in Section 2.14, a “Scheduled Repayment”). 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall not be subject to mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02 prior to the 2021 Incremental Term Loans Conversion Date.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, the Borrowers shall be required to make, with respect to each new Tranche (i.e., other than Initial Term Loans, which are addressed in the preceding clause (a)) of Term Loans to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Term Loans to the extent, and on the dates and in the principal amounts, set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Refinancing Term Loan Amendment or Extension Amendment applicable thereto.

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within five Business Days following each date on or after the First Restatement Effective Date upon which Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 (other than Refinancing Term Loans and

Exhibit A-69

Refinancing Notes)), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Debt Proceeds therefrom shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 10 days following each date on or after the First Restatement Effective Date upon which Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than ABL Collateral), an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale/Recovery Event Prepayment Percentage of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, with respect to no more than $27,000,000 in the aggregate of such Net Sale Proceeds received by Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of Lead Borrower, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied or used to make mandatory repayments of Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply all or a portion of such Net Sale Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder to reinvest in the purchase of assets useful in the business of Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries within 12 months following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds (or, if within such 12-month period, Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest such Net Sale Proceeds, within 180 days following such 12-month period during which Lead Borrower so committed to such plan of reinvestment); provided, further, that if within 12 months (or, to the extent applicable, 18 months) after the date of receipt by Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Sale Proceeds, Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has not so used all or a portion of such Net Sale Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder, an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Net Sale Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h) on the last day of such 12-month (or, to the extent applicable, 18-month) period.

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder of (i) the Applicable ECF Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period less (ii) the aggregate amount of all (x) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans, Refinancing Notes and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.04(xxvii) that rank pari passu with the Term Loans (limited, in the case of any voluntary prepayment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 or similar provisions in the definitive documentation with respect to such Refinancing Notes or other Indebtedness, to the cash payment made by any Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary therefor) and (y) prepayments of revolving loans under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other revolving credit facility secured by a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the ABL Credit Agreement or senior or pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Indebtedness hereunder, in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in commitments therefor and not financed with the incurrence of other long-term Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement), during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 10 days following each date on or after the First Restatement Effective Date upon which Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Net Insurance Proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than in respect of ABL Collateral), an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale/Recovery Event Prepayment Percentage of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, with respect to no more than $27,000,000 in the aggregate of such Net Insurance Proceeds received by Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of Lead Borrower, such Net Insurance Proceeds shall not give rise to a mandatory repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lead Borrower may apply such Net Insurance Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder to reinvest in the purchase of assets useful in the business of Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries within 12 months following the date of receipt of such proceeds (or, if within such 12-month period, Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest in such Net Sale Proceeds, within 18 months following the date of receipt of such proceeds); provided, further, that if within 12 months (or, to the extent applicable, 18 months) after the date of receipt by Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of such Net Insurance Proceeds, Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries have not so used all or a portion of such Net Insurance Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder, an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Net Insurance

Exhibit A-70

Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment hereunder shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h) on the last day of such 12-month (or, to the extent applicable, 18-month) period, as the case may be.

(g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans, with each Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of each amount so required to be applied; provided that to the extent any Permitted Pari Passu Notes (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations) requires any mandatory prepayment or repurchase from any Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clause (d) or (f) above, up to a pro rata portion (based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and such pari passu secured Indebtedness then outstanding) of such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds that would otherwise be required to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clause (d) or (f) above may be applied to prepay or repurchase such pari passu secured Indebtedness in lieu of prepaying Term Loans as provided above. Prepayments pursuant to Section 5.02(c) shall be applied to the Tranche or Tranches of Term Loans selected by Lead Borrower. Except as otherwise provided below, all repayments of outstanding Term Loans of a given Tranche pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) (and applied pursuant to this clause (g)) shall be applied to reduce the Scheduled Repayments of the applicable Tranche in direct order of maturity of such Scheduled Repayments.

(h) With respect to each repayment of Term Loans required by this Section 5.02, Lead Borrower may (subject to the priority payment requirements of Section 5.02(g)) designate the Types of Term Loans of the applicable Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Tranche pursuant to which such Term SOFR Term Loans were made; provided that: (i) repayments of Term SOFR Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all such Term SOFR Term Loans of the applicable Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Term Loans of the applicable Tranche have been paid in full; and (ii) each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans. In the absence of a designation by Lead Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, all then outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Term Loans.

(j) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.02, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Asset Sale”), the Net Insurance Proceeds of any Recovery Event incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Recovery Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 5.02 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use the other cash sources of Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make the relevant prepayment), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 or (ii) to the extent that Lead Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Sale Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale, Net Insurance Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or Foreign Recovery Event or Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow would have material adverse tax cost

Exhibit A-71

consequences, such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

(k) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory repayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(d), (e) or (f) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such repayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such repayment and provide the amount of such repayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of Lead Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of any repayment. Each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory repayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(d), (e) or (f) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date of such Xxxxxx’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such repayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans to which such Lender is otherwise entitled.

5.03 Method and Place of Payment. All payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made (i) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, or, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, directly to such Lender or Lenders, in each case not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (or, in connection with any prepayment of all outstanding Term Loans, such later time on the specified prepayment date as the Administrative Agent may agree), (ii) in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds and (iii) free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Any payment received after such time on such date referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.03 shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, 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. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 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.

5.04 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by or on account of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then the Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that (i) to the extent such deduction or withholding is on account of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deduction or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.04), the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent will make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Credit Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Credit Parties will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment by any of them of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days of written request

Exhibit A-72

therefor, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 5.04) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any Other Taxes, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) 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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding Tax. In addition, each Lender shall deliver to Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in Section 5.04(c)) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (x) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the First Restatement Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the relevant Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or Form W-8ECI (or successor form), or (ii) in the case of a Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note; or (iii) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) of the Lender, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-8IMY, and/or any other required information (or successor or other applicable form) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 5.04(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and not a participating Lender), and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owners); (y) Each Lender that is a United States person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the times specified in Section 5.04(b), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States backup withholding requirements; and (z) if any 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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Lead 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 Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Xxxxxx has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine, if

Exhibit A-73

necessary, the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.04(c)(z), “FATCA” shall include any amendment made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to Lead Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(b) or this Section 5.04(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.04, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Credit Parties or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.04(a), it shall pay to the relevant Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under Section 5.04(a) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including any Taxes, of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the relevant Credit Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04(d), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) to the extent such payment would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 5.04(d) shall be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose its Tax returns or any other information regarding its Tax affairs or computations to any Person or otherwise to arrange its Tax affairs in any manner other than as it determines in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Lead Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to provide any information pursuant to this clause to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation or result in the breach of any binding contractual obligation or the loss of any professional privilege; provided that in the event that Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries does not provide information that otherwise would be required to be provided hereunder in reliance on such exception, Lead Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Administrative Agent promptly upon obtaining knowledge that such information is being withheld (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such law, rule or regulation or result in the breach of such binding contractual obligation or the loss of such professional privilege).

Exhibit A-83

Lead Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or its their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Public Side Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 13.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) Bank of America shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” and “security trustee” under the Credit Documents, and each of the Lenders (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, including in its capacity as a potential Guaranteed Creditor under a Designated Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bank of America to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Credit Party to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity;

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan.

To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to pay any amount required under Section 13.01(a) to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent of either of them), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share (based on the amount of then outstanding Term Loans held by each Lender or, if the Term Loans have been repaid in full, based on the amount of outstanding Term Loans held by each Lender immediately prior to such repayment in full) of (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

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

The Secured Creditors hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v) of Section 13.12 of this Agreement), and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid

Exhibit A-117

being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Creditor or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

12.10 Resignation of the Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with Lead Xxxxxxxx’s consent (other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx (and consented to by Lead Xxxxxxxx, to the extent so required) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may, with Lead Borrower’s consent (other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment within such period, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security solely for purposes of maintaining the Secured Creditors’ security interest thereon until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders (with the consent of Lead Borrower, to the extent so required) appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 12.10. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

12.11 Collateral Matters and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Guaranteed Creditor under a Designated Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Designated Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document to a Person that is not a Credit Party, (iii) that constitutes Excluded Collateral, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to Section 13.12, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to clause (b) below or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.12;

(b) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 10.01(iv)(y), (vi) or (xiv)

Exhibit A-118

or any other Lien that is expressly permitted by Section 10.01 to be senior to the Lien securing the Obligations or to release, and to execute and/or deliver documents to evidence the release or non-existence of, any Lien securing the Obligations upon any Excluded Collateral.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.11. In each case as specified in this Section 12.11, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 12.11.

The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

12.12 Designated Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements. No Guaranteed Creditor that obtains the benefits of any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.12 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Designated Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Guaranteed Creditor. Each Guaranteed Creditor agrees to be bound by this Section 12 to the same extent as a Lender hereunder.

12.13 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.04 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

12.14 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being

The Administrative Agent shall inform each Creditor Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Creditor Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Section 13. Miscellaneous.

13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment or Term Loans of any Tranche, the amount of the Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of Lead Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 11.01 or 11.05;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with the payment by the assignee of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 5.04 and 13.01. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and

Exhibit A-125

principal amount (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and, as to its own positions only, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) above and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender or each adversely affected Lender and that directly affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 5.04(b) and (c) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Lead Xxxxxxxx’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lead Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Lead 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 or Term Loan or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement

Exhibit A-126

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.

(d) Holdings, Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall also be entitled to purchase (from Lenders) outstanding principal of Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20, which purchases shall be evidenced by assignments (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) from the applicable Lender to the Borrowers. Each assignor and assignee party to the relevant repurchases under Sections 2.19 and 2.20 shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the Assignment and Assumption. No such transfer or assignment shall be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly record) on the Register pursuant to clause (b) above. All Term Loans purchased pursuant to Sections 2.19 and 2.20 shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the Borrowers shall in no event become a Lender hereunder. To the extent of any assignment to a Borrower as described in this clause (d), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned Term Loans.

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

(f) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.04 applicable to it as a Lender hereunder.

(g) Each Sponsor Affiliate, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and each Assignment and Assumption entered into by a Sponsor Affiliate shall provide a confirmation, that, if any Credit Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law now or hereafter in effect (“Bankruptcy Proceedings”), (i) such Sponsor Affiliate shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent) in relation to such Sponsor Affiliate’s claim with respect to its Term Loans (a “Claim”) (including, without limitation, objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Sponsor Affiliate is treated in connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders and (ii) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including, without limitation, voting on any plan of reorganization), the Term Loans held by such Sponsor Affiliate (and any Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted by such Sponsor Affiliate in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Sponsor Affiliates, so long as such Sponsor Affiliate is treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall vote on behalf of any such Sponsor Affiliates holding Term Loans in accordance with this Section 13.04(g) and the relevant Assignment and Assumption. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Sponsor Affiliate agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Section 13.04(g) constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Credit Party has filed for protection under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect applicable to Credit Party. Except as expressly provided in this Section 13.04(g), the provisions of this Section 13.04(g) shall not be applicable to any Debt Fund Affiliate.

(h) If any Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans or Commitments with Term Loans or Commitments having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders of such Term Loans or holdings such Commitments, instead of prepaying the Term Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require such Lenders to assign such Term Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees

Exhibit A-127

and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 13.12 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 13.12). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Term Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.08. By receiving such purchase price, the applicable Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned such Term Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and Lead Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide to any requesting Lender, the list of Disqualified Xxxxxxx provided to the Administrative Agent by Lead Borrower and any updates thereto. The Borrowers hereby agree that any such requesting Lender may share the list of Disqualified Lenders with any potential assignee, transferee or participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders (other than with respect to assignments or participations by it of its Loans and Commitments, if any). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender (other than with respect to assignments or participations by it of its Loans and Commitments, if any).

(j) Disqualified Xxxxxxx. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any assignment to a Disqualified Lender shall not be void, but shall be subject to the following provisions:

(i) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without Lead Borrower’s prior written consent, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the Closing Date, Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel any unfunded Commitment the subject thereof and (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Xxxxxxx, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in the Credit Documents to the contrary, any such prepayment shall not be subject to any provisions requiring prepayments of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis and no other Term Loans shall be required to be repaid as a result of such prepayment) and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Credit Documents to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder; provided that (i) Lead Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.04(b) (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) in the case of clause (A), the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds from any Loans or loans under the ABL Credit Agreement to prepay any Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or

Exhibit A-128

any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lender consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender 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 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender 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 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(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 Term Loans or 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 respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of 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 (x) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, (y) the express provisions of this Agreement which permit disproportionate payments with respect to various of the Tranches as, and to the extent, provided herein, and (z) any other provisions which permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Term Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein.

13.07 Calculations; Computations.

Exhibit A-129

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto); provided that to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis; provided further, that if Lead Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that Lead Borrower wishes to amend any leverage calculation or any financial definition used therein to implement the effect of any change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the Closing Date on the operation thereof (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Lead Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend any leverage test or any financial definition used therein for such purpose), then Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such leverage test or the definitions used therein (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such changes in U.S. GAAP; provided, further that all determinations made pursuant to any applicable leverage test or any financial definition used therein shall be determined on the basis of U.S. GAAP as applied and in effect immediately before the relevant change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until such leverage test or such financial definition is amended. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect) and (ii) the accounting for any lease shall be based on Lead Borrower’s treatment thereof in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in U.S. GAAP (or the required implementation of any previously promulgated changes in U.S. GAAP) relating to the treatment of a lease as an operating lease or capitalized lease.

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

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Lead Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and/or repay the outstanding Term Loans of each Tranche of such Lender in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(i); provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and Term Loans repaid, pursuant to the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of outstanding Term Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided, further, that in any event Lead Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender,

Exhibit A-132

terminate its Commitments or repay its Term Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of this Section 13.12, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Incremental Term Loan Lender may, without the consent of any other Lender, (i) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 enter into an Incremental Term Loan Amendment; provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Amendment, such Incremental Term Loan Amendment, may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12, and (ii) amend this Agreement to increase the interest rate margin, increase the interest rate floor, increase, extend or add any prepayment premium, increase, extend or add any call protection or increase the amortization schedule with respect to any existing Tranche of Term Loans in order to cause any Incremental Term Loans to be fungible with such existing Tranche of Term Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) above of this Section 13.12, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) (i) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loan and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and (ii) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be amended (or amended and restated) in connection with any refinancing facilities permitted pursuant to Section 2.18.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any fee letter may be amended, or rights and privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Term Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment, waiver or consent (and the definitions of “Majority Lenders” and “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(g) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.12, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and any Credit Party shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.07 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.14 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement,

Exhibit A-133

for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 13.14), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 13.14 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Extended Term Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any Agent or any other Secured Creditor under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the other Secured Creditor that such Xxxxxxxx is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent and the other Secured Creditor that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the other Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Agent or any other Secured Creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Agent’s or such Secured Creditor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Borrower.

(h) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are or become secured by Real Property. This means, among other things:

(i) the Agents and other Secured Creditors may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any Real Property or personal property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

(ii) If any Agent or any other Secured Creditor forecloses on any Collateral consisting of Real Property pledged by any Credit Party:

(A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if such Collateral is worth more than the sale price; and

Exhibit A-134

(B) the Agents and the other Secured Creditors may collect from such Borrower even if any Agent or other Secured Creditor, by foreclosing on the Collateral consisting of Real Property, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers or any other Credit Party.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are or become secured by Real Property.

(i) The provisions of this Section 13.14 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the other Secured Creditors and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Agent, any other Secured Creditor or any of their respective successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 13.14 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or any other Secured Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 13.14 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(j) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, any payments made by it to any Agent or any other Secured Creditor with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any Agent or any other Secured Creditor hereunder or under any other Credit Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

(k) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, subject to any applicable intercreditor agreements then in effect, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Agents, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Security Agreement.

(l) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent any Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Borrower hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment, in an amount not to exceed the highest amount that would be valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each such Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of clauses (j) and (k) of this Section 13.14. The provisions of this clause (l) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to the Agents and the Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders for the full amount such Xxxxxxxx agreed to repay hereunder.

The Lead Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature (including, without limitation, facsimile or .pdf) on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on the Lead Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lead Borrower enforceable against the Lead Borrower in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered to the Administrative Agent. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.

Exhibit A-138

13.22 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

13.23 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 Lender that is an 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 which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

(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.

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

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