This CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 13, 2020 (this “Agreement”), is entered into among CSG HOLDINGS II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as borrower (“Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time, and INVESTEC BANK PLC, as administrative agent for the Lenders referred to herein (together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS

A. Borrower indirectly owns 100% of the Securities of Cardinal States Gathering Company LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Project Company”).

B. The Project Company owns and/or controls gathering systems and compressor stations in Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia (together with all other gathering lines, laterals, transport assets, storage facilities, surface leases, rights of way and servitudes related to the foregoing, as more fully described herein, the “Project”).

C. Borrower has requested Lenders to extend, and Lenders have agreed to extend, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the term facility to Borrower, as more fully described herein.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the agreements herein and in the other Credit Documents and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

1.1 DEFINITIONS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including its exhibits and schedules) shall have the meanings given to such terms in Exhibit A.

1.2 RULES OF INTERPRETATION. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, the rules of interpretation set forth in Exhibit A shall apply to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

THE CREDIT FACILITY

2.1 TERM FACILITY.

2.1.1 Term Facility.

(a) Availability.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth herein, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to advance to Borrower on the Closing Date such loans as Borrower may request pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 (individually, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

(ii) Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Notice of Borrowing. Borrower shall request Loans by delivering to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, which contains or specifies, among other things:

(i) the portion of the requested Loan which shall bear interest as is provided in (A) Section 2.1.1(c)(i) (individually, a “Base Rate Loan” and, collectively, the “Base Rate Loans”) or (B) Section 2.1.1(c)(ii) (individually, a “LIBOR Loan” and, collectively, the “LIBOR Loans”);

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Loan; and

(iii) the proposed date of the requested Loan (which shall be a Banking Day).

Borrower may make only one Borrowing under the Term Facility, which shall be on the Closing Date. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately without further action on the Closing Date, in each case after giving effect to the funding in full of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the requested Loan. Borrower shall give the Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent so as to provide not less than the Minimum Notice Period applicable to Loans of the Type requested. The Notice of Borrowing may be modified or revoked by Borrower until the final Banking Day prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be irrevocable.

The proceeds of all Loans on the Closing Date shall be applied in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum.

(c) Interest. Subject to Section 2.4.3, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan from the date of Borrowing of the Loan until the maturity or prepayment thereof at the following rates per annum:

(i) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change) plus the applicable Rate Margin in respect of Base Rate Loans; or

(ii) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum, at all times during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the applicable Rate Margin in respect of LIBOR Loans.

(d) Loan—Scheduled Principal Amortization. On each Quarterly Payment Date, Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender in installments in accordance with the Amortization Schedule, with any remaining unpaid principal, interest, fees and costs due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

2.1.2 Interest Provisions Relating to All Loans.

(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.4.3, the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan shall be selected by Borrower initially at the time the Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b). The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loan may be changed from time to time as specified in a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.5. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate. If at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the election of any Lender, (a) no outstanding Base Rate Loan of such Lender may be converted to a LIBOR Loan; and (b) no outstanding LIBOR Loan of such Lender may be continued as a LIBOR Loan and, unless repaid, each such LIBOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period therefor. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender a copy of each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan, on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter; (ii) in the case of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period related to such LIBOR Loan; and (iii) in all cases, upon repayment or prepayment (to the extent thereof and including any Optional Prepayments or Mandatory Prepayments), upon conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan and on the Final Maturity Date.

(i) (A) Any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Banking Day, (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Banking Day of a calendar month, (C) any Interest Period for any Loan which would otherwise end after the Final Maturity Date shall end on the Final Maturity Date, (D) LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period shall be in the minimum amount of $250,000, and (E) Borrower may not at any time have outstanding more than six different Interest Periods relating to LIBOR Loans.

(ii) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any time prior to the end of an Interest Period for a quotation of Interest Rates in effect at such time, and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such quotation. If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans in accordance with this Section 2.1.2(c), such Loans shall automatically (x) continue as LIBOR Loans on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor or (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and a Lender has elected not to provide LIBOR Loans during such Event of Default, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of each determination of the Interest Rate applicable to each Loan.

(d) Interest Computations. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans (other than Base Rate Loans where the Base Rate is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate) shall be based upon a year of 365 days or, in the case of a leap year, 366 days, shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Base Rate to take effect on the beginning of the day of such change in the Base Rate. All computations of interest on LIBOR Loans (and Base Rate Loans where the Base Rate is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate) shall be based upon a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Borrower agrees that all computations of interest by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

2.1.3 Promissory Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans made by a Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall, upon the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by promissory notes in substantially the form of Exhibit B (individually, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), each payable to such requesting Lender or its registered assigns and in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Borrower authorizes each such requesting Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Note the date and amount of each Loan made by such requesting Lender and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder, and agrees that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters noted; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the records or books of Administrative Agent and any Lender’s records or Notes, the records of Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Borrower further authorizes each such requesting Lender to attach to, and make a part of, such requesting Lender’s Note or Notes continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the validity of Borrower’s obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the duties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder. Upon the payment in full in cash of the aggregate principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans the Lenders holding such Notes shall promptly xxxx the applicable Notes cancelled and return such cancelled Notes to Borrower.

2.1.4 Loan Funding.

(a) Notice. The Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.1.5, respectively. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender a copy of the Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Lender Funding. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver (such waiver to be in writing by the Administrative Agent with the consent of each Lender and any such waiver shall be binding on each Lender) of the conditions precedent specified in Section 3.1, each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Closing Date, make available to Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to the account of Administrative

Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan to be made on such date. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the Closing Date. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make Loans as required on the Closing Date.

(c) Failure of Lender to Fund. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan requested on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with the prior paragraph, and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption (but without any obligation), make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand (and, in any event, within two Banking Days from the Closing Date) from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Banking Days after such date. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount (excluding any interest paid to Administrative Agent thereon) shall constitute such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Loan. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor or within two Banking Days from the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate then payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.1.4(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(d) Account. No later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Closing Date, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Section 3.1 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, and, subject to Section 2.1.4(c), to the extent Administrative Agent shall have received the appropriate funds from the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make available the Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and shall apply the proceeds of such Loans in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum.

2.1.5 Conversion of Loans. Borrower may convert Loans from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided that (a) any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be effective on, and only on, the first Banking Day after expiration of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or shall be subject to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7, (b) Loans shall be converted only in amounts of $250,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof and (c) no Base Rate Loan of a Lender may be converted into a LIBOR Loan (i) at the election of the such Lender when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) after the date that is three (3) months prior to the Final Maturity Date. Borrower shall request such a conversion by delivering to Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type, which contains or specifies, among other things:

(i) the Loans, or portion thereof, which are to be converted;

(ii) the Type of Loans into which such Loans, or portion thereof, are to be converted; and

(iii) the proposed date of the requested conversion (which shall be a Banking Day and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.1.5); and

(iv) if a Lender has elected not to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan during an Event of Default and if Base Rate Loans are to be converted to LIBOR Loans, a certification by Borrower that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Borrower shall so deliver each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type so as to provide at least the applicable Minimum Notice Period. The Notice of Conversion of Loan Type may be modified or revoked by Borrower until the final Banking Day prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be irrevocable. Each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered to Administrative Agent in the manner provided in Section 11.1. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type.

2.1.6 Prepayments.

(a) Terms of All Prepayments.

(i) Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an Optional Prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender which made such Loan (A) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount of such Loan prepaid, (B) if such prepayment is an Optional Prepayment prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date or a Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1.6(c)(v), 1.00% of the principal amount being prepaid, and (C) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all Liquidation Costs incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment (pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7).

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only in respect of any Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall have the right, by giving three (3) Banking Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, in lieu of prepaying a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, to deposit or cause Administrative Agent to deposit into the Prepayment Account (as defined in the Depositary Agreement) an amount equal to the LIBOR Loans to be prepaid together with (x) accrued but unpaid interest payable, and (y) any Swap Termination Payments anticipated to be payable to any Secured Swap Counterparty pursuant to Section 2.1.6(a)(iii), in each case in connection with such prepayment. Such funds shall be held in the Prepayment Account until the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid, at which time the amount deposited in such account shall be applied to prepay such LIBOR Loan and to make such Swap Termination Payments, as applicable, and any interest accrued on such amount shall be deposited into the Revenue Account. The deposit of amounts into the Prepayment Account to be held by Depositary Agent for the Mandatory Prepayment of LIBOR Loans as described above shall not constitute a prepayment of Loans, and all Loans to be prepaid using the proceeds from such account shall continue to accrue interest at the then-applicable

interest rate for such Loans until actually prepaid. All amounts in such account shall only be invested in Permitted Investments under clause (a) of the definition thereof as directed, in writing, by and at the expense and risk of Borrower in accordance with the Depositary Agreement.

(iii) If any prepayment of Loans is made pursuant to this Section 2.1.6 and such prepayment would result in the aggregate notional amounts under the Permitted Swap Agreements exceeding the amounts permitted pursuant to Section 5.13.2, then the Borrower (x) shall terminate, or to the extent permitted by the applicable Permitted Swap Agreement, transfer or novate, a portion of one or more Permitted Swap Agreements such that, after giving pro forma effect to any such prepayment, the aggregate notional amount of the Permitted Swap Agreements satisfies the maximum hedging requirements of the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.13.2 and (y) may apply a portion of the proceeds to be prepaid to terminate or, to the extent permitted by the applicable Permitted Swap Agreements, transfer or novate a portion of the Permitted Swap Agreements, such that, after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment of Loans, the aggregate notional amount of the Permitted Swap Agreements is not less than the minimum hedging requirements of the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.13.1. Any such early termination of Permitted Swap Agreements shall be on a pro rata basis among all of the Permitted Swap Agreements, according to the notional amounts then outstanding under each such Permitted Swap Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this clause shall require Borrower to terminate any Permitted Swap Agreements except to the extent required pursuant to Section 5.13.2.

(iv) (A) all Optional Prepayments shall be applied as directed by Borrower (or, if no direction is given, to scheduled principal payments under Section 2.1.1(d) in direct order of maturity);

(B) all Mandatory Prepayments shall be applied pro rata to scheduled principal payments under Section 2.1.1(d) and any Swap Termination Payments payable to any Secured Swap Counterparty pursuant to Section 2.1.6(a)(iii) in connection with such prepayment; provided that, if such Swap Termination Payments are not paid on the date of such Mandatory Prepayment as permitted by Section 5.13.2, Borrower shall make a reservation in the Prepayment Account (as defined in the Depositary Agreement) of an amount equal to 105% of the Swap Termination Payments reasonably projected as of the date of such Mandatory Prepayment to be payable by the Borrower to any Secured Swap Counterparty in connection with any such prepayment with respect to Secured Swap Agreements terminated in accordance with Section 2.1.6(a)(iii); and

(C) a prepayment of Loans may be applied to prepay outstanding Base Rate Loans of such Type before any other Loans of such Type so long as such application does not affect the right any Lender would otherwise have to receive pro rata prepayments of the Loans or a Type of Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender.

(b) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Borrower may, at its option and without premium or penalty but subject to Section 2.1.6(a)(i)(B) and Section 2.7, upon notice to Administrative Agent delivered within not less than the Minimum Notice Period applicable to the Loans being prepaid (which notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another credit facility or facilities

or other agreement(s) providing the source of funds for such Optional Prepayment, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower by providing written notice to Administrative Agent through the final Banking Day prior to the Minimum Notice Period prior to the proposed date of the Optional Prepayment if one or more of such conditions is not satisfied), prepay any Loans in whole or from time to time in part in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 or an incremental multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (provided that such minimum amounts shall not apply to a prepayment of all outstanding Loans) (each, an “Optional Prepayment”).

(ii) Optional Prepayments of the Term Facility may not be re-borrowed.

(i) On each Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(vi) of the Depositary Agreement;

(ii) 100% of Net Proceeds received by the Borrower from the Project Company as a result of any OpCo Asset Proceeds or OpCo Loss Proceeds or any other OpCo Mandatory Prepayment not required to prepay the OpCo Obligations as contemplated by the Depositary Agreement;

(iii) As, when and to the extent contemplated by the Depositary Agreement as a result of any Asset Sale or any Loss Event;

(iv) 100% of the net proceeds from any direct or indirect sale of the Securities of CSG Holdings I LLC or the Project Company (including any liquidation distribution) as contemplated by the Depositary Agreement; and

(v) Upon the receipt of any net cash proceeds from the issuance of any Debt by Borrower that is not permitted hereunder pursuant to Section 6.3 in the amount of any such net cash proceeds.

2.1.7 Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain, at its address referred to in Section 11.1, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with Section 11.5 of this Agreement), the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time and the name of each Lender which holds a Note (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register (a) the Commitments and the Loans from time to time of each Lender, (b) the interest rates applicable to all Loans and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (c) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (d) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (e) each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender, (f) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (g) such other information as Administrative Agent may determine is necessary for the administering of the Loans and this Agreement. Any such recording shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error; provided that neither the failure to make any such

recordation, nor any error in such recordation, shall affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans or otherwise; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the Register shall govern absent manifest error. The Register is intended to cause the Commitments and Loans to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code, Treasury regulation Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c), and Proposed Treasury regulations Section 1.163-5(b).

2.1.8 Re-Borrowing. Borrower may not re-borrow the principal amount of any Loan repaid or prepaid pursuant hereto.

2.2 FEES.

2.2.1 Agents’ Fees. Borrower shall pay to each applicable Agent, the fees payable to such Agent, as applicable, set forth in the applicable Agency Fee Letter.

2.3 TOTAL COMMITMENTS.

2.3.1 Total Commitment Amount. Notwithstanding anything that may be construed to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by the Lenders shall not exceed the Total Commitment.

2.4 OTHER PAYMENT TERMS.

2.4.1 Place and Manner. Except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letters or any other provision contained in any of the Credit Documents, Borrower shall make all payments due to any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder free and clear without setoff or counterclaim of any kind to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be), to the account denominated.

Bank Name: The Bank of New York Mellon

ABA/Swift/Routing No.: 000-000-000

Account No.: 1704048400

Attention: INVESTEC AGENCY SERVICES ACCOUNT

Reference: Loan/Transaction Name

or such other account as Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower from time to time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment made after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Banking Day after such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Lender each such payment received by Administrative Agent for such Lender, such disbursement to occur on the day such payment is received if received by 1:00 p.m. New York City time or if otherwise reasonably possible, or otherwise on the next Banking Day.

2.4.2 Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day (unless such day is the Final Maturity Date, or such Banking Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day) and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

2.4.3 Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any accrued and unpaid interest payments thereon and any accrued and unpaid fees, and other amounts hereunder, shall after and during the continuance of such Event of Default bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) payable upon demand, at a rate that is (a) 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans, or (b) in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans (the “Default Rate”); provided that, in the case of LIBOR Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective and to the extent a Lender has provided notice its LIBOR Loans are no longer permitted while an Event of Default exists, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans (it being understood that from and after the date on which all continuing Events of Default have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 11.3, the Default Rate shall no longer apply); provided further that, the Default Rate may retroactively apply to all amounts due hereunder from the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default if the Required Lenders provide such written direction.

2.4.4 Net of Taxes, Etc.

(a) Taxes. Any and all payments to or for the benefit of a Credit Party by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding, setoff or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever of any present or future Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto ((A) excluding net income, franchise and branch profits Taxes (including Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of such Credit Party) imposed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or Taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a present or former connection between such Credit Party and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, unless such connection results solely from such Credit Party’s executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Agreement or any Note or other Credit Document, (B) excluding any federal withholding Tax imposed by the United States that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable hereunder to such Credit Party at the time such Credit Party becomes a party to this Agreement (or such Credit Party designates a new lending office) (other than pursuant to an assignment request by Borrower under Section 2.8.2) except to the extent that such Credit Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of the designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 2.4.4(a), (C) excluding any withholding Tax that is attributable to a Credit Party’s failure to comply with Section 2.4.4(e) or Section 2.4.5, (D) excluding any Taxes imposed under FATCA and (E) excluding any interest or penalties imposed upon amounts described in (A), (B), (C) or (D) above) (all such Taxes described in (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above being hereinafter referred to as

“Excluded Taxes”) unless required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from or in respect of any sum payable by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document to any Credit Party, (i) with respect to any Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4.4), such Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make (or cause to be made) such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. In addition, Borrower agrees to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any present or future stamp, recording or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (and interest, fines, penalties and additions related thereto) (not including income, branch profits or franchise Taxes) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document except any such Taxes that are imposed as a result of any present or former connection between such Credit Party and the relevant Governmental Authority that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by Borrower under Section 2.8.2) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b) Tax Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.4.4) paid by any Credit Party or its Affiliate, or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Credit Party for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes arising from such Credit Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Credit Party agrees to give written notice to Borrower of the assertion of any claim against such Credit Party relating to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such assertion, and in no event later than 270 days after the principal officer of such Credit Party responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Credit Party’s failure to notify Borrower of such assertion within such 270 day-period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.4.4(b) with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, regardless of when they arise, and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.4.4(b) with respect to penalties, interest or expenses relating to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.4.4(b) with respect to penalties, interest or expenses relating to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and incurred between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Credit Party makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof.

(c) Notice. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by or on behalf of Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(d) Reimbursement by Credit Parties. If any Credit Party receives an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4(b) (or if Borrower pays any additional amount under Section 2.4.4(a)) and if such Credit Party is able, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to apply or otherwise take advantage of any refund or credit in lieu thereof arising out of or in conjunction with any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes which give rise to such additional amount or indemnification, such Credit Party shall, to the extent that in its sole discretion exercised in good faith it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund and without any other adverse Tax consequences for such Credit Party, reimburse to Borrower such amount as the Credit Party shall, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, have determined to be attributable to the relevant Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Credit Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit in lieu thereof), and as will leave such Credit Party in no worse after-Tax position than it would have been in if the payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not been required, provided, however, that if the Credit Party is required to repay all or any portion of any refund or credit in lieu thereof or any interest thereon to such Governmental Authority, then, upon the request of such Credit Party, Borrower agrees to repay such Credit Party, as soon as reasonably practicable, the amount of the refund or credit in lieu thereof required to be paid to such Governmental Authority by such Credit Party that is required to be forfeited, in each case plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by such Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit in lieu thereof, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 2.4.4(d) shall oblige any Credit Party to disclose to Borrower or any other Person any information regarding its Tax affairs or Tax computations that such Credit Party deems confidential, or interfere with any Credit Party’s absolute discretion to manage its own Tax affairs in whatever manner it sees fit.

(e) FATCA. (i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.4.4(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (ii) Each Lender shall indemnify each Agent for any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by any Agent in connection with any Credit Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(f) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Borrower and each Credit Party under this Section 2.4.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of Borrower’s Obligations.

2.4.5 Withholding Exemption Certificates. Each Lender upon becoming a Lender agrees that it will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower either (a) if such Lender is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), an executed copy of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding, or (b) if such Lender is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY or successor applicable form, as the case may be (certifying therein an entitlement to an exemption from or reduction in, United States withholding Taxes) plus, in the case of a Lender using the so-called “portfolio interest exemption,” a duly completed and executed non-bank certificate in the form of Exhibits G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable to such Lender (each a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”). Each Lender which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a Form W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, as the case may be, pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent further copies of the Form W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or procedure, and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form or certificate expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by it, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, as the case may be, that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal Taxes, or at a reduced rate, unless in any such cases any change in treaty, law, regulation or the circumstance of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party (other than an Affiliate that is a Credit Party) or any designation of a new lending office or assignment described in the exception contained in clause (B) of Section 2.4.4(a) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms or certificates inapplicable or which would prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal Tax or at a reduced rate. For the avoidance of doubt, however, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal Tax pursuant to Section 2.4.4 (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4) to any Lender (including any entity to which any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.4.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4.5, no Person shall be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.4.5 that such Person is not legally able to deliver.

2.4.6 Defaulting Lender Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.3 and the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(b) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.2 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents under the Credit Documents; (ii) second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; (iii) third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (iv) fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any then final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction (provided that, with respect to this clause (v), if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.6 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) If Administrative Agent states in writing, based on the cure of the applicable basis of default, that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT.

2.5.1 Borrowings, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) the Borrowing shall be made or allocated among the relevant Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares of the Commitments and (b) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the relevant Lenders holding such Loans pro rata according to their respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Lenders.

2.5.2 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its pro rata share of the aggregate payments obtained by the Lenders in respect of the Loans, then such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Term Facility (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.6 CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

2.6.1 Inability to Determine Rates. If, in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) Administrative Agent determines (or is advised by the Required Lenders) that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) Administrative Agent determines that for any reason the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the affected Lenders revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for

conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

2.6.2 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any 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 perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

2.6.3 Increased Costs. If any Change of Law occurring after the date of this Agreement:

(a) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender;

(b) shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loan or Commitment made by such Lender; or

(c) shall subject any Lender to any Taxes on its capital reserves, deposit or other similar requirement reasonably attributable to or directly related to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, but excluding any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are indemnified pursuant to Section 2.4.4 and Excluded Taxes;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, issuing, creating, participating in (subject to the limitations in Section 11.4) or maintaining any such Loan in respect thereof or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount, submitted by such Lender to Borrower, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower as to the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts for purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.4 Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change of Law occurring after the date of this Agreement regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital or liquidity of such Lender, or the Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s Parent Company, if any, as a consequence of the Loans or the Commitments, below that which such Lender or such Lender’s Parent Company could have achieved but for such Change of Law (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital or liquidity adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within thirty (30) days after delivery of demand by such Lender or such Person, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital or liquidity. A certificate of such Lender or such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, delivered to Borrower by such Lender or such Person shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower as to the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts for purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.5 Notice; Participating Lenders’ Rights. Failure or delay of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation; provided further that if the Change of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. No Person purchasing from a Lender a participation in any Commitment (as opposed to an assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6.3 or Section 2.6.4 which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Commitment in which such Person is participating) which would then be payable to such Lender if such Lender had not sold a participation in that portion of the Commitment.

2.6.6 Adjusted LIBO Rate Replacement.

(a) If at any time Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or Borrower or the Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent in writing (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower), that Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that a LIBO Rate Discontinuance Event has occurred, then, on or promptly after the LIBO Rate Discontinuance Event Date, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate benchmark rate to replace the Adjusted LIBO Rate, together with any spread or adjustment to be applied to such alternate benchmark rate to account for the effects of transition from the Adjusted LIBO Rate to such alternate benchmark rate, giving due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest (including the application of a spread and the making of other appropriate adjustments to such alternate benchmark rate and this Agreement to account for the effects of transition from the Adjusted LIBO Rate to such replacement benchmark, including any changes necessary to reflect the available Interest Periods and timing for determining such alternate benchmark rate) at such time, provided that any such alternate benchmark rate and adjustments shall be required to be commercially practicable for Administrative Agent to administer (as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) (any such rate, the “Successor LIBO Rate”).

(b) After such determination that a LIBO Rate Discontinuance Event has occurred, on or promptly following the LIBO Rate Discontinuance Event Date, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Successor LIBO Rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, as Administrative Agent may determine in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), to implement and give effect to the Successor LIBO Rate under this Agreement on the LIBO Rate Replacement Date and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement on the fifth (5th) Banking Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment; provided, that if a Successor LIBO Rate has not been established pursuant to the foregoing, at the option of Borrower, Borrower and the Required Lenders may select a different Successor LIBO Rate that is commercially practicable for Administrative Agent to administer (as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and, upon not less than fifteen (15) Banking Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent, such Required Lenders and Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Successor LIBO Rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, further, that if no Successor LIBO Rate has been determined pursuant to the foregoing and a LIBO Rate Discontinuance Event Date has occurred, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender and thereafter, until such Successor LIBO Rate has been determined pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) all outstanding Borrowings shall be converted to Base Rate Loans (on the last day of the Interest Period therefor) until a Successor LIBO Rate has been chosen pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Successor LIBO Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor LIBO Rate be less than zero (0) for purposes of this Agreement.

2.7 FUNDING LOSSES. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any LIBOR Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans (whether an Optional Prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment), (b) fail to make any Borrowing of or to convert any Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) after such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion of Loan Type has become irrevocable, (c) fail to continue a LIBOR Loan and such LIBOR Loan is not automatically continued hereunder, (d) convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans or (e) fail to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent after such notice has become irrevocable, then Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for all costs, losses and expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment or failure (“Liquidation Costs”). Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund LIBOR Loans (other than non-receipt of the margin applicable to such LIBOR Loans). In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.7 shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made. Such a certificate so delivered to Borrower shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such loss for purposes of this Agreement.

2.8 ALTERNATE OFFICE; MINIMIZATION OF COSTS.

2.8.1 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.6, to the extent reasonably possible upon the request of Borrower, each Lender shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Loans and otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Lender under Sections 2.4.4(a), 2.6.3, 2.6.4 and 2.7, and to avoid the unavailability of any Type of Loans under Section 2.6.2 so long as (in the case of the designation of an alternative Lending Office) such Lender, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, determines that (a) such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect and (b) such actions would eliminate or reduce liability to such Lender; provided that no Lender shall be required to designate an alternative Lending Office if such designation requires internal credit approval until such time as such Lender receives such internal credit approval. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or actions within thirty (30) days of demand thereof to Borrower.

2.8.2 If and with respect to each occasion that (a) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 11.3 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, (b) a Lender either makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4 or is unable to fund LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.6.2 or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon at least five (5) Banking Days prior irrevocable written notice to each of such Lender and Administrative Agent, in whole permanently replace all of the Loans and Commitments of such Lender and require such Lender to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4 and 2.7, as applicable) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents. Such replacement Lender shall upon the effective date of replacement purchase Borrower’s Obligations hereunder owed to such replaced Lender for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon for all purposes become a “Lender” hereunder, and, if applicable, shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. Such notice from Borrower shall specify an effective date for the replacement of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, which date shall not be later than the fifteenth (15^th) day after the day such notice is given. On the effective date of any replacement of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.8.2, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender (a) any fees due to such Lender to the date of such replacement, (b) the principal of and accrued interest on the principal amount of outstanding Loans held by such Lender to the date of such replacement (such amount to be represented by the purchase of Borrower’s Obligations hereunder of such replaced Lender by the replacing Lender and not as a prepayment of such Loans) and (c) the amount or amounts due to such Lender pursuant to each of Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4 and 2.7, as applicable, and any other amount then payable hereunder to such Lender. Borrower will remain liable to such replaced Lender for any Liquidation Costs that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of the purchase of such Lender’s Loans (unless such Lender has defaulted on its obligation to fund a Loan hereunder or is a Defaulting Lender). Upon the effective date of the purchase of any Lender’s Loans owed to such Lender and termination of such Lender’s Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.8.2, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder. No such termination of any such Lender’s Commitments and the purchase of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 shall affect (i) any liability or obligation of Borrower or any other Lender to such terminated Lender, or any liability or obligation of such terminated Lender to Borrower or any other Lender, which accrued on or prior to the date of such termination, or (ii) such terminated Lender’s rights hereunder in respect of any such liability or obligation. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender that has been replaced as a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 and that is (or has an Affiliate that is) a party to a Secured Swap Agreement shall have the right, but not the obligation, to novate to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof such Secured Swap Agreements; and if such replaced Lender or its Affiliate, as applicable, has not exercised such right, then Borrower may elect to cause such replaced Lender or its Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts, as applicable, to novate to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof all applicable Secured Swap Agreements provided by such replaced Lender or its Affiliate, as applicable, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) the parties shall enter into a novation agreement (based on the ISDA standard form novation agreement) in which the applicable Secured Swap Counterparty is the transferor and will act as the calculation agent and

Borrower is the remaining party; (B) the transferee shall be acceptable to such Secured Swap Counterparty in its absolute discretion, including subject to such Secured Swap Counterparty’s internal credit approval, other internal policies and regulatory considerations; (C) the pricing of such novation shall be acceptable to such Secured Swap Counterparty in its absolute discretion; and (D) Borrower shall bear all costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) in relation to the novation agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) a Lender shall have no obligation with respect to such assignment if such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would violate its internal credit policies, (ii) this Agreement (including this Section 2.8.2) does not in any way impair the rights of any Permitted Swap Counterparty to terminate a Permitted Swap Agreement if an automatic termination event, event of default or other termination event occurs thereunder nor in any way impairs the rights of any Permitted Swap Counterparty to otherwise terminate a Permitted Swap Agreement and upon a Permitted Swap Counterparty exercising such rights of termination, any election by Borrower to cause such Permitted Swap Counterparty to novate its applicable Permitted Swap Agreement, including any Hedge Transactions thereunder, pursuant to the first sentence hereof shall be null and void.

2.8.3 Upon written notice to Administrative Agent, any Lender may designate a Lending Office other than the Lending Office most recently designated to Administrative Agent and may assign all of its interests under the Credit Documents and its Notes (if any) to such Lending Office; provided that such designation and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase the liability or the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4 or 2.7 or make an Interest Rate option unavailable pursuant to Section 2.6.2.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), or required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Documents or any Legal Requirement or that exposes any of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties (as the case may be) to any liability. None of the Agents, the Lenders nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Credit Document, or be responsible for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any other Person contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, the other Credit Documents or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent, or any other Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) any failure by any Loan Party or its Affiliates to perform their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (iii) the failure, delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or as a result of any information provided by any Lender, or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or any Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. Each

Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through any agents or employees or any sub-agent appointed by it, and none of the Agents shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.1.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (b) each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (c) none of the Agents makes any warranty or representation to any other Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (d) none of the Agents shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Credit Document on the part of any party thereto, to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party or any other Person or to ascertain or determine whether a Material Adverse Effect exists or is continuing, provided that (i) Administrative Agent shall have a duty to inquire in the event that a scheduled payment required under Article II of this Agreement is not received when due and (ii) each Agent shall have a duty to inquire in the event that any item specifically required to be delivered to such Agent under the Credit Documents is not so delivered on the date required thereunder and (e) none of the Agents shall be responsible to any other Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto other than with respect to themselves. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, each Agent shall take, or omit, such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed in writing by the Required Lenders or, if expressly so provided, all Lenders. No Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers and shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Operative Document unless it shall first receive the advice or concurrence of the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Required Lenders, as applicable, and until the instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable (which shall not constitute an unreasonable delay of condition on or withholding of such action). The other Secured Parties further acknowledge and agree that so long as any Agent shall make any determination to be made by it hereunder or under any other Credit Document in good faith, such Agent shall have no liability in respect of such determination to any Person. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees, and may consult with the applicable Independent Consultants in the exercise of such powers, rights and remedies and the performance of such duties. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistencies between the functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Depositary Agent set forth in this Article 9 and those set forth in the Depositary Agreement, the terms of the Depositary Agreement shall govern.

9.1.3 Neither of the Sole Bookrunner or Lead Arranger shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Lead Arranger nor the Sole Bookrunner shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the Lead Arranger and the Sole Bookrunner as it makes with

respect to the Agents in this Article 9. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Sole Bookrunner and the Lead Arranger hold such title in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Secured Party hereunder.

9.1.4 In the event Administrative Agent receives any notice of an Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly post or deliver a copy of such notice to each Lender and each other Agent.

9.2 RELIANCE. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail or telex) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it. Each of the Agents 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. Each of the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all Lenders) and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Secured Parties. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, none of the Agents shall be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders or, where expressly provided, all Lenders (except that none of the Agents shall be required to take any action which exposes such Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Legal Requirement). Each of the Agents shall in all cases (including when any action by such Agent alone is authorized hereunder, if such Agent elects in its sole discretion to obtain instructions from the Required Lenders) be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all Lenders), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, where applicable) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties.

9.3 NON-RELIANCE. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Lead Arranger, the Sole Bookrunner, the Agents, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Lead Arranger, the Sole Bookrunner, the Agents, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. None of the Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Sole Bookrunner or any Lender shall be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or its Affiliates under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or its Affiliates.

9.4 DEFAULTS; MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect, unless a Responsible Officer of such Person has received a written notice from a Lender or

any Loan Party, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect and indicating that such notice is a notice of the occurrence of such default or Material Adverse Effect (as the case may be). If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and each other Agent. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect as is provided in Article 7 or the terms of the Credit Documents, or if not provided for in Article 7 or such Credit Documents, as such Agent shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

9.5 INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, Controlling Persons, employees, agents and servants, ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent or such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of their Related Parties. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.5 shall survive payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of any Agent. Each Agent or any such Person shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent or any such Person promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses paid for services rendered in connection with the Credit Documents) incurred by any Agent or any such Person in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Credit Documents, to the extent that any Agent or any such Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower; 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 such Agent or any such Person in its capacity as such. This Section 9.5 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

9.6 WITHHOLDING TAXES. To the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Secured Party an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes

or Other Taxes that are attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant register and (iii) any amounts attributable to such Lender that are Excluded Taxes, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 9.6.

9.7 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Borrower no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such resignation. Administrative Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its respective duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents or for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of its respective duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 11.3.3). Upon any such resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be (or have an Affiliate that is) a Lender hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the applicable retiring Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, with, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent or hereunder, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the applicable retiring Agent, and the applicable retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as the applicable Agent only under the Credit Documents. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the preceding sentences by the 45^thday after the date of removal or such notice of resignation was given by the applicable Agent, such Agent’s removal or resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the applicable retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents. In such an event, the Lenders will collectively exercise the rights and obligations of Administrative Agent until such time as a new Administrative Agent is appointed. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit

as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 11.3.3) may by notice to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent and (ii) the date which is five (5) Banking Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent, as applicable, has been appointed). The terms of resignation by, and removal of, Collateral Agent and Depositary Agent (and, in each case, replacement thereof) shall be governed by the relevant provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Depositary Agreement, respectively.

9.8 AUTHORIZATION. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to such Person in such capacity by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Credit Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and each Lender and each assignee of any such Lender hereby agrees to be bound by any such actions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and is hereby obligated to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and, subject to Section 9.10.1, promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received (and any such payments not so distributed by Administrative Agent within one (1) Banking Day of receipt thereof shall bear interest (at Borrower’s expense) at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation). The Administrative Agent shall give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with the performance of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and is hereby obligated, to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by Administrative Agent. Each of the Agents is further authorized by the other Secured Parties to release or subordinate Liens on property that Borrower is permitted to sell or transfer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and to enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any Credit Document to which it is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders but not obligated in case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, each Agent (including any claim

for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, each Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, each Agent under this Agreement) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the applicable Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under this Agreement.

9.9 OTHER ROLES. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, each Agent in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent. Each Agent and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to the other Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt Collateral Agent may act as Depositary Agent notwithstanding any potential or actual conflict of interest presented by the foregoing and any Loan Party. Each of the Secured Parties hereby waives any claim against each of the Agents, the Loan Parties and any of their respective Affiliates based upon any conflict of interest that each Agent or any of their respective Affiliates may have with regard to acting as an agent or arranger hereunder and acting in such other roles.

ARTICLE 10

INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS

10.1 REMOVAL AND FEES. Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may remove from time to time, any one or more of the Independent Consultants and Administrative Agent may appoint replacements, which, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, shall require the consent of Borrower. Notice of any replacement Independent Consultant shall be given by Administrative Agent to Borrower, the Lenders and the Independent Consultant being replaced. All reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Independent Consultants (whether the original ones or replacements) shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to agreements reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided that no such acceptance shall be required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further that there shall be no more than one Independent Engineer, no more than one Market Consultant and no more than one Insurance Consultant at any time.

10.2 CERTIFICATION OF DATES. Administrative Agent will request that the Independent Consultants act diligently in the issuance of all certificates required to be delivered by the Independent Consultants hereunder, if their issuance is appropriate.

1. Each Electronic Transmission must be sent by an authorized Person of the applicable Loan Party (or any other authorized representative), and must be addressed to the e-mail address specified above in this Section 11.1 or such other e-mail address, as designated by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or Depositary Agent (as the case may be) from time to time in accordance with this Section 11.1.

11.2 RIGHT TO SET-OFF. Subject to Section 2.5.2, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.2 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of each Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

11.3.4 Minor Defects. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 11.3, the applicable Loan Parties or Agents may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or supplement the Credit Documents without the consent of any other Secured Party for the purpose of (a) curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency to correct any typographical errors or other similar mistakes that do not modify the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, (b) (i) making any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Secured Parties or (ii) making, completing or confirming any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Documents (or, if not addressed therein, not prohibited) and (c) making administrative or mechanical amendments to this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents to provide for the addition of obligations secured by the Collateral and the related secured parties and otherwise to effect the intent of Section 5.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement or the addition of any Loan Party as permitted or required under the Credit Documents so long as such amendments do not modify the rights and obligations of the parties hereto (other

than, for the avoidance of doubt, as may result from having additional secured obligations benefiting from the Collateral and additional secured parties voting as provided herein and having other rights of secured parties under this Agreement and under the Credit Documents).

11.4 PARTICIPATION. Any Lender may, at any time, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for or owned for the benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (a) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Lender’s or Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (c) Borrower, each Agent, any and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (d) any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Commitment (or Loans made hereunder) shall provide that, with respect to such Commitment (or Loans made hereunder), subject to the following proviso, such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document and the right to take action to have the Obligations hereunder (or any portion thereof) declared due and payable pursuant to Article 7; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.3.1 that affects such Participant. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.4.4(a), 2.6.3 and 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.4.4(e) and 2.4.5 (it being understood that the documentation required under such Sections shall be delivered to the participating Lender and not to Administrative Agent or Borrower)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.5; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to Section 2.8.2 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.5 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.4.4(a), 2.6.3 or 2.7, 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 of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall 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 rights or obligations) held by it; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any of its obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Treasury regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury regulations Section 1.163-5(b). The entries in such register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register as the owner of such Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to the foregoing, any such register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Participant register is intended to cause the

Commitments and Loans to be in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code, Treasury regulation Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c), and Proposed Treasury regulations Section 1.163-5(b).

11.5 TRANSFER OF COMMITMENT.

11.5.1 Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Lender, after receiving Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Banking Days after having received notice thereof), may from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of Loans made hereunder (including the Lender’s interest in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) to any Eligible Assignee; provided, that no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Loans (a) in an amount less than $1,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount of such Lender’s Loans, (unless to another Lender), or (b) in an amount which leaves the assigning Lender with Loans of less than $1,000,000 (in each case based on the original principal amount of the Loans assigned) after giving effect to such assignment and all previous assignments (except that a Lender may be left with no Loans if it assigns all of its Loans); provided, further, that any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Commitments and Loans to an Affiliate of such Lender, to any other Lender or to any Person described in clause (c) of the definition of Eligible Assignee, in each case, without the consent of any Person. An assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.4.4, 2.6 or 11.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee unless Borrower shall have consented to such assignment. An assignee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.4.4 to the extent such assignee fails to comply with Section 2.4.5. In the event of any such assignment, (i) the assigning Lender’s Proportionate Share shall be reduced and its obligations hereunder released by the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new Lender, as applicable, (ii) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, in the form set forth in Exhibit I or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, (iii) the parties to the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, excluding Borrower, shall collectively pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500; provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, and (iv) at the assigning Lender’s option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new Lender, Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as requested, in a principal amount equal to such new Lender’s Loan amount, but only, to the extent the assigning Lender has been issued any Notes, if it shall also be executing and exchanging with the assigning Lender a replacement note for any such Note(s) in an amount equal to the Loans retained by the assigning Lender, if any; provided that Borrower shall have received for cancellation the existing Note(s) held by such assigning Lender. Thereafter, such new Lender shall be deemed to be a Lender and shall have all of the rights and duties of a Lender (except as otherwise provided in this Article 11), in accordance with its Proportionate Share, under each of the Credit Documents. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in Section 2.1.7.

11.6 LAWS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 11, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further instruments as may in the opinion of Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to such sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or disposition which would not require any such registration.

11.7 ASSIGNABILITY AS COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of the Loans or Notes held by it to the Federal Reserve Bank and the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or to any central bank as collateral security in accordance with applicable law or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes to the extent of such payment; provided, further, that no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder and in no event shall the Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank be considered a “Lender” hereunder.

11.8 NOTICES TO LENDERS. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver all material documents, instruments and notices that it receives hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to each Lender. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, Borrower shall not be required to deliver any documents, instruments or notices directly to the Lenders.

11.9 DELAY AND WAIVER. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Secured Parties upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Default, Material Adverse Effect or any breach or default of Borrower or unsatisfied condition precedent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Secured Parties, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default or unsatisfied condition precedent, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default or unsatisfied condition precedent thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single Event of Default, Default, Material Adverse Effect or other breach or default or unsatisfied condition precedent be deemed a waiver of any other Event of Default, Default, Material Adverse Effect or other breach or default or unsatisfied condition precedent theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Agent or the other Secured Parties of any Event of Default, Default, Material Adverse Effect or other breach or default or unsatisfied condition precedent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any waiver on the part of any Agent or the other Secured Parties of any provision or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies, either under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or by law or otherwise afforded to the Agents and the other Secured Parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided.

11.10 COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Borrower will pay to each of the Agents all of their respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (net of any costs and expenses paid prior to the Closing Date) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, closing and administering of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the documents contemplated hereby and any participation or syndication of the Loans or this Agreement, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, Xxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Scarborough LLP in connection with the preparation of such documents and any amendments hereof.

Borrower shall not be responsible for any counsel fees of such Agents or the Lenders other than as set forth above, in Section 11.19 or as otherwise set forth in a separate agreement. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within thirty (30) days at the written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

11.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

11.16 NO PARTNERSHIP, ETC. The Agents and Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, intend that the relationship between them shall be solely that of creditor and debtor.

11.18 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. No claim shall be made by any Loan Party against the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Depositary Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings, special or punitive damages or any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor, in each case, except to the extent such claim is based on bad faith,

gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no claim shall be made by any Secured Party against any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings, special or punitive damages or any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Secured Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor, in each case, except to the extent such claim is based on bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

11.19 INDEMNITY. Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Depositary Agent, the Lenders and each of their respective directors, partners, trustees, officers, administrators, managers, employees, Affiliates, investment advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel and consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee (collectively, “Subject Claims”) arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement or administration of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any Environmental Claim, any Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, from or to the Project or the Real Property, or with respect to the Borrower, the Project, the Project Company or the Real Property, any violation of, or liability under, any Environmental Law, or (iv) the use, financing, operation or maintenance of the Project; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that the applicable Subject Claim results primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower and its successors and assigns hereby waive, release and agree not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action against, any Indemnitee under CERCLA or any state equivalent, or any similar law now existing or hereafter enacted, to the extent the claim or cost recovery action arises from the actions of Borrower. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any Indemnitee is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws as a result of its relationship to Borrower, Borrower’s obligation to such Indemnitee party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of Borrower with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability of an Indemnitee. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender. All amounts due under this

Section shall be payable within thirty (30) days at the written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. This Section 11.19 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. Each Indemnitee agrees to provide Borrower with written notice of a proposed compromise or settlement of any Subject Claim specifying in detail the nature and amount of such proposed settlement or compromise. Such Indemnitee shall consult with Borrower before compromising or settling such Subject Claim for at least thirty (30) days after Borrower receives such notice of intended compromise or settlement and shall take into consideration any views or issues communicated by Borrower in connection with such compromise or settlement. Such Indemnitee shall act in good faith and reasonably, taking into account the interests of the Loan Parties, in agreeing to any compromise or settlement.

11.29 INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself that certain matters related to the Credit Documents and the Collateral are subject to and governed by the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of each Lender, by delivering its signature page hereto, funding its Loans and/or executing an assignment and assumption, as applicable, shall be deemed to have (a) authorized and directed Administrative Agent to designate and appoint The Bank of New York Mellon to act as the initial Collateral Agent of such Lender under the Credit Documents pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) acknowledged receipt of, consented to and approved of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) authorized Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to perform their respective obligations thereunder and (d) acknowledged that Collateral Agent in performing such duties is acting as Collateral Agent for all of the Secured Parties and not solely the Lenders.

11.30 ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Secured Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each 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):

11.30.1 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.
