and discharge, refinancing or redemption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or any Preferred Stock, either the date of (i) delivery of notice (which may be conditional) with respect to such prepayment, repayment, repurchase, refinancing or redemption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or any Preferred Stock or (ii) the making of such prepayment, repayment, repurchase, refinance or redemption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or any Preferred Stock or (z) the case of a Limited Condition Transaction constituting an Asset Sale or other disposition, either the date of (i) the definitive agreements for such Asset Sale or other disposition are entered into or (ii) consummation of such Asset Sale or disposition, in each case, after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the actions to be taken in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if such Limited Condition Transaction and other actions had occurred on such date (each such date, the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of Borrower are available, the applicable Loan Party could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, basket, representation and warranty or no Default or Event of Default condition, such ratio, basket, representation and warranty or Default or no Event of Default condition shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of Borrower or other Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or Basket availability with respect to any transaction permitted hereunder (each, for purposes of this Section 1.07, a “subsequent transaction”) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or the declaration of a Restricted Payment or notice of Restricted Subordinated Prepayment is revoked or rescinded, any such ratio, test or Basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and any subsequent transactions in connection therewith have been consummated.

Section 1.08 Currency; Calculation of Amounts.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement, amounts incurred (or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt), distributed, paid, invested or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made, as such exchange rates shall be determined in good faith by Borrower by reference to customary indices.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with respect to any amounts incurred, paid, distributed or invested in a currency other than Dollars, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred, no representation

shall be treated as being untrue or inaccurate, and no covenant or other undertaking shall be deemed to be breached solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is contractually obligated with respect to such incurrence, payment, distribution or investment (so long as, in the case of a Contractual Obligation, at the time of entering into the contract with respect to such incurrence, payment, distribution or investment, it was permitted hereunder) and once contractually obligated to be incurred, paid, distributed or invested, such amount shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates and (ii) in the case of any Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of Section 6.03 and/or secured under any clause of Section 6.05 that contains a limitation expressed in Dollars and that, as a result of changes in exchange rates, is so exceeded, such Indebtedness (and the related Liens) will be permitted to be refinanced with Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof incurred under such clause notwithstanding that, after giving effect to such refinancing, such excess shall continue (and with respect to Indebtedness under Designated Revolving Commitments, including an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness).

(c) In the event that any action or transaction meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of exceptions, thresholds or baskets pursuant to any applicable covenant in Section 6.08 and Article VI, such action or transaction (or portion thereof) may be divided and classified, and later (on one or more occasions) be redivided and/or reclassified under one or more of such exceptions, thresholds or baskets as Borrower may elect from time to time, including reclassifying any utilization of fixed (subject to grower components) exceptions, thresholds or baskets (for purposes of this Section 1.08, “fixed baskets”) as incurred under any available incurrence-based exception, threshold or basket (for purposes of this Section 1.08, “incurrence-based baskets”), and if any applicable ratios or financial tests for such incurrence-based baskets would be satisfied in any subsequent fiscal quarter, such reclassification shall be deemed to have automatically occurred if not elected by Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in the definition of “Pro Forma Basis” to the contrary, in the event any fixed baskets or utilization of revolving credit commitments are intended to be utilized together with any incurrence-based baskets in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (i) compliance with or satisfaction of any applicable financial ratios or tests for the portion of any Indebtedness or other applicable transaction or action to be incurred under any incurrence-based baskets shall first be calculated without giving effect to amounts being utilized pursuant to any fixed baskets or the utilization of revolving credit commitments, but giving full Pro Forma Effect to all applicable and related transactions (including, subject to the foregoing with respect to fixed baskets, any incurrence and repayments of Indebtedness) and all other permitted pro forma adjustments, and (ii) thereafter, incurrence of the portion of such Indebtedness or other applicable transaction or action to be incurred under any fixed baskets shall be calculated.

Section 1.09 Divisions. In connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws) consummated by a Loan Party in its discretion if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed, solely for purposes of Section 5.09(a), to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

Section 1.10 Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP without giving effect to such change in GAAP or in the application thereof that is the subject of such notice until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. Notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after December 31, 2018 (including Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)), any lease of Borrower or its Subsidiaries that would be characterized as an operating lease under GAAP in effect on December 31, 2018, whether such lease is entered into before or after December 31, 2018, shall not constitute Indebtedness or a Capital Lease Obligation of Borrower or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such changes in GAAP.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental

Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) and that such L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(2) subject to Section 2.02(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless (A) each Appropriate Lender has approved such expiration date or (B) the L/C Issuer thereof has approved such expiration date and the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer;

(3) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date, unless such L/C Issuer thereof has approved of such expiry date and the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer;

(4) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer;

(5) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $50,000;

(6) any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.30) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or then issued Letters of Credit and all other L/C Obligations with respect to such Defaulting Lender as to which such L/C Issuer has actual Fronting Exposure, in each case, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(7) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally.

(iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue an amendment to any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and any Letter of Credit Application (and any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by such L/C Issuer and Xxxxxxxx or in favor of such L/C Issuer) pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit and each amendment shall be issued upon the request of Xxxxxxxx delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Financial Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an issuance of, or amendment of any outstanding, Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer and shall set forth (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of issuance of the amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment (if any); and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone, e-mail or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or issue the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit and amendment increasing the available balance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the available balance of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a 90 days (or such other date as agreed to by Xxxxxxxx) (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) prior to the end of such twelve month period. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Appropriate Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.02(a)(iii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Promptly after issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer, by making payment in Dollars to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unreimbursed Amount”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next Business Day immediately following notice to Borrower of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”). In the case of any Unreimbursed Amount under any Letters of Credit, unless Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Honor Date that Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing with its own funds, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement and, in such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.04 for the principal amount of ABR Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit

Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing or e-mail; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Appropriate Lender (including any Lender acting as a L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) with respect to any Letter of Credit make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount under a Letter of Credit that is not refinanced by a Borrowing of ABR Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer a L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest (which begins to accrue upon funding by the L/C Issuer) at the Default Rate. In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.02.

(iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) (but not to purchase or fund risk participations in L/C Obligations) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Letter of Credit Participations.

(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement hereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other guarantee for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Revolving Credit Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.

None of the L/C Issuers, any Related Party nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of the relevant L/C Issuer’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) the form, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness, due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application; (iv) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (v) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; or (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer or Related Party, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Governmental Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the L/C Issuer’s or Related Party’s rights or powers hereunder. None of the L/C Issuers, any Related Party, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.02(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s bad faith, willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such L/C Issuer to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such L/C Issuer; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other

100

document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such L/C Issuer in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(g) Cash Collateral. If (i) as of the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, (ii) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, require Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Article VII or (iii) an Event of Default under clause (g) or (h) of Article VII occurs and is continuing, Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 102% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default or the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date, as the case may be), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), (1) the Business Day that Borrower receives written notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such written notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (iii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under clause (g) or (h) of Article VII occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day.

To further secure the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the applicable facility, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in an account or accounts established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent (the “Cash Collateral Account”) and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are expressly subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than 102% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 102% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds 102% of the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to Borrower. To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is cured or otherwise waived by the Required Lenders, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to Borrower.

101

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders for the applicable Class (in accordance with their Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Percentage applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are SOFR Borrowings times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, however, any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.30, with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the Closing Date to and including the later of the Maturity Date and the date on which such L/C Issuer ceases to have any obligations (contingent or otherwise) to make any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit). Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of written demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among Xxxxxxxx, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer.

102

(l) Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the remaining life thereof at such time.

(m) Reporting. Each L/C Issuer will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each calendar month, the aggregate available balance of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding calendar month (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate available balance of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and such L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure.

(n) [Reserved.]

(o) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Letter of Credit Sublimit Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02(g). Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between the relevant L/C Issuers and Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

(p) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations, or is for the account, of a Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

103

(q) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto deemed to be a Letter of Credit under this Agreement and subject to the provisions hereof as if each such Existing Letter of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date by the applicable L/C Issuer, (ii) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of L/C Obligations and Revolving Credit Exposure, (iii) the issuer thereof shall be deemed to be the L/C Issuer with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit and (iv) all liabilities of Borrower and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations.

Section 2.03 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Xxxxxxx, in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, agrees to make loans in Dollars to Borrower (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”), from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Business Day after the Closing Date and until the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; provided, further, that Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.14, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the requested borrowing date and shall specify (i) the principal amount to be borrowed, which principal amount shall be a minimum of $500,000 (and any amount in excess of $500,000 shall be in integral multiples of $100,000) and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will

104

confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.30) with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes such Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.04, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

105

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Xxxxxx’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

106

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its ABR Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

(g) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date (each a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, if consented to by the applicable Swing Line Lender, on the earliest occurring maturity date such Swing Line Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the tranche or tranches of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment. Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Swing Line Loans may be reduced as agreed between the Swing Line Lender and Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

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

107

(i) Resignation of the Swing Line Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Xxxxxx may resign as a Swing Line Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, Xxxxxxxx and the Lenders, in which case, such Swing Line Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.03(h) above.

Section 2.04 Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective applicable Term Commitments, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments, as the case may be. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan as required hereunder. Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(c), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Commitment, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.17, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans as Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender may at its option make any SOFR Loan by causing any branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than nine (or such greater number as may be approved by the Administrative Agent) SOFR Borrowings of Borrower being outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, or 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer the amounts so received to the account designated by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been satisfied, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the

108

Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) for the first three days and the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing thereafter. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Credit Extension, Xxxxxxxx shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed and fully executed Borrowing Request, (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided, however, it is agreed and understood that the Borrowing Request in respect of Borrowings to be made on the Closing Date may be delivered not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion). Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.05), shall be signed by or on behalf of Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) the Class of such Borrowing and whether such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.04. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.05 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the notice in respect of any Borrowing on the Closing Date, or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement, or in connection with any Borrowing under any Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, may be rescinded, or revised to change the requested date for the making of the Loans contemplated thereby, by Borrower by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, such later time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion), on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

Section 2.06 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) each Term Lender, if any, the principal amount of each Term Loan, if any, of such Term Lender made to Borrower and (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lender made to Borrower, in each case, as set forth in Section 2.13.

109

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that (i) in the event of any inconsistency between any account maintained pursuant to clause (b) above and any account maintained pursuant to clause (c) above, the account maintained pursuant to clause (c) above shall be conclusive absent manifest error and (ii) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Loans made to it in accordance with their terms; provided further that in the event of a conflict between such accounts and the Register, the Register shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall reasonably promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note, a Swing Line Note or a Term Loan Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) and in substantially the form of Exhibit E-1, Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3 hereto, as applicable, with appropriate insertions and deletions.

Section 2.07 Fees.

(a) Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual agency fee (the “Administrative Agent Fees”) as separately agreed to with the Administrative Agent. All Administrative Agent Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Once paid, none of the Administrative Agent Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).

(b) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee equal to 0.375% multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.30 (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”). The Revolving Commitment Fee

110

shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the last Business Day of the first full fiscal quarter to end following the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and calculated from and including the first day but excluding the last day. For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Commitment Fee payable hereunder shall accrue and be payable in Dollars.

Section 2.08 Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable to the Administrative Agent on the applicable Interest Payment Dates except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate and Adjusted Term SOFR for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII, all overdue amounts owing under the Loan Documents in each case shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by Law (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.08, or in the case of interest or other amounts, the rate applicable to the Borrowings to which such amount relates, in each case, plus 2.00% per annum (the “Default Rate”).

Section 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to Borrower and the Lenders. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted Term

111

SOFR or Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 2.11 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall and automatically and permanently be terminated on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(b) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.11, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Commitments of each other Class shall be automatically and permanently be terminated on the applicable Maturity Date with respect to such Class of Commitment (other than the Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Amendment).

(d) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable (provided, that such notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events and revocable in the event that such events do not occur on the applicable date or dates) notice to the Administrative Agent, Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, any Class of Commitments extended to Borrower; provided, however, that each partial reduction of any Class of Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $500,000.

(e) If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or any Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not otherwise be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or any Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by Borrower. Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer, reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit (with each L/C Issuer’s Letter of Credit Sublimit to be reduced pro rata); provided that, after giving effect to such reduction, the Letter of Credit Sublimit of each L/C Issuer shall not be less than the aggregate principal amount of the L/C Obligations as of the date of such reduction under Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer. Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, reduce the Swing Line Sublimit.

(f) Each reduction of any Class of Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

112

Section 2.12 Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion, to convert any SOFR Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a SOFR Borrowing or to continue any SOFR Borrowing as a SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the applicable Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting continued or converted Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

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

(iv) if any SOFR Borrowing is converted at a time prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18;

(v) [reserved];

(vi) [reserved];

(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any SOFR Term Borrowing that would end later than an Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the SOFR Term Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date; and

(viii) upon notice to Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (A) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a SOFR Borrowing, and (B) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

113

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a SOFR Borrowing, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.12 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.12 to continue any SOFR Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.12 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof) automatically be continued as a SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.13 Repayment of Borrowings.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.14 and any other prepayments made with respect thereto) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Amendment, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(c) All Incremental Term Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(e) Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (although Swing Line Loans may thereafter be reborrowed, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, if there are one or more Classes which remain in effect).

(f) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied to the applicable Borrowings as Borrower shall specify (provided that, if Borrower shall not specify any such order of application, it shall be deemed to have requested that such application shall be made first, to ABR Borrowings and then to SOFR Borrowings (in the chronological order in which their respective Interest Periods terminate)), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

114

Section 2.14 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing requested by Xxxxxxxx that was made to it by the applicable Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans), in whole or in part, upon (i) at least three Business Days’ prior notice in the case of SOFR Loans and (ii) notice on the Business Day of such prepayment in respect of ABR Loans, in each case to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant date; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000.

(b) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be allocated to any Class or Classes of Loans as determined by Borrower, and failing such determination shall be allocated pro rata among the Loans and, in each case with respect to Term Loans, shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans as directed by Xxxxxxxx (and failing such direction, shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of applicable Class or Classes in the direct order of maturity thereof).

(c) Borrower may, upon, subject to clause (e) below, written notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(d) If for any reason the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of the termination of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments on the Maturity Date with respect thereto), Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (or, in the case of a Maturity Date, back-stop such L/C Obligations with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or have such L/C Obligations deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer); provided that Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(e) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Class and principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (provided, that such prepayment may be conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events and revocable in the event that such events do not occur on the applicable date or dates) and shall commit Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.14 shall be subject to Sections 2.14(d) and 2.18, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.14 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

115

Section 2.15 [Reserved].

Section 2.16 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender, subject any Lender to any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes) in respect of its Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations under the Loan Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then Borrower will pay to such Lender, within the time period specified in clause (c) below therefor, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) only if such Lender certifies that it imposes such charges under other comparable syndicated credit facilities involving similarly situated borrowers under which such Lender is a lender; provided that no such certification shall be required to include any confidential or price sensitive information.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) only if such Lender certifies that it imposes such charges under other comparable syndicated credit facilities involving similarly situated borrower under which such Lender is a lender; provided that no such certification shall be required to include any confidential or price sensitive information.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

116

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under clause (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section 2.16 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

Section 2.17 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Section 9.08(h), which shall control in the event of a conflict (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower) with this Section 2.17, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any SOFR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that SOFR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into SOFR Loans, whereupon any request for a SOFR Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a SOFR Borrowing or to continue a SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan, as such, or to convert a SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding SOFR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in clause (b) below.

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

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.17, a notice to Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each SOFR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such SOFR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement.

117

Section 2.18 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) against any actual loss (other than loss of margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any SOFR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan, in each case prior to the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any SOFR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any SOFR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.12) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or

(b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder.

In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the SOFR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.18 only if such Lender certifies that it imposes such charges under other comparable syndicated credit facilities involving a similarly situated borrower under which such Lender is a lender. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

Section 2.19 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.17, and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Commitments of any Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments of such Class (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of such Class). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount; provided that this Section 2.19 shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its portion of any Loan or Commitment to any assignee or participant.

118

Section 2.20 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid amount of the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid amount of all Loans then outstanding as the amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.20 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agree that, subject to applicable Law, any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by either Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.21 Payments.

(a) Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Administrative Agent Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), on the date when due in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim, in Dollars. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Administrative Agent Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Administrative Agent Fees, if applicable.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Xxxxxxxx has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

119

Section 2.22 Taxes.

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.22), the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholding and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, but without duplication of amounts paid under Section 2.22(a), the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after receipt of written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.22) (other than any penalties determined by a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence of, or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or such Lender) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.22, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders.

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

120

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

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;

(2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

121

(4) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2, Exhibit G-3 or Exhibit G-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable requirements of Law), two executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of Law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.22(e)(ii)(D), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and the term “Lender” shall include the Administrative Agent.

122

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.22(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Xxxxxx to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.22(e).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22(e), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or any other Loan Party or with respect to which such other Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.22(a), it shall pay over such refund to Borrower or such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.22 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower or such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.22(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.22(f) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.22(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.22 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment.

Section 2.24 Discretionary Guarantors. At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may elect to add a Restricted Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to be added as an additional Guarantor and a Loan Party (a “Discretionary Guarantor”) as follows:

Each such Incremental Amendment shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder, as such terms may be agreed between Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided, however, that:

(i) the final scheduled maturity date of any Other Term Loan shall be no earlier than the then-final scheduled maturity date of any Specified Loans; provided that at the option of Borrower, this clause (i) shall not apply to Customary Bridge/Interim Debt,

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Other Term Loan shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Specified Loans; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to Customary Bridge/Interim Debt,

(v) availability of such Incremental Term Facility shall be subject to absence of an Event of Default after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Incremental Term Facility and use of proceeds thereof; provided, that if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are to be used in whole or in part to fund a Limited Condition Transaction, the condition set forth in this clause (v) shall be subject to the limitations of Section 1.07,

128

(vi) (x) subject to clauses (ii) and (iv) above, the amortization schedule applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and (y) any Incremental Term Facility that is pari passu in right of payment with any Specified Loans and secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations may provide for the ability of the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility to participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans under any other then-outstanding Class of Term Loans,

(vii) such Incremental Term Loans, as determined by Borrower in its sole discretion, (x) may rank pari passu in right of payment with or junior in right of payment to any Specified Loans and, if ranking junior in right of payment to such Obligations, shall be subject to customary subordination documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, (y) may be secured by the Collateral and may rank pari passu in right of security with or junior in right of security to any Specified Loans (and if secured by Liens on the Collateral, shall be subject to a Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable) or (z) may be unsecured; provided, that (I) such Incremental Term Loans shall not be subject to any Guarantee by any Person other than a Loan Party or any Person that concurrently therewith becomes a Loan Party and (II) if such Incremental Term Loans are secured, the obligations in respect thereof shall not be secured by a Lien on any asset other than any asset constituting Collateral (except to the extent that any additional collateral security is offered to be added to the Collateral to secure, and additional guarantees are offered to be added for the benefit of, any Specified Loans),

(viii) any fees payable in connection with any such Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by Borrower and the arrangers and/or the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(ix) to the extent such Incremental Term Facility is unsecured, secured by a Lien junior to the Lien securing the Obligations or subordinated to the payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent may require that such facility will be documented in separate loan and security agreements, and

(x) except as otherwise restricted by clauses (i) through (ix) above, all other terms of such Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed between Borrower and the lenders or holders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that the covenants (other than pricing, interest rate floors, discounts, fees and prepayment or redemption premiums and terms) and events of default applicable to such Incremental Term Facility, taken as a whole, at the option of Borrower (x) shall be on then current market terms or (y) not be materially less favorable (when taken as a whole) to Borrower than those applicable to the Loans, in each case, as reasonably determined by Borrower; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not apply to covenants and events of default applicable only after then final scheduled maturity date of any Specified Loans or if such covenants and events of default are also offered to be added for the benefit of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(b) Borrower and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment and such other documentation as the applicable Incremental Revolving Lenders shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Lender. Each such Incremental Amendment shall specify the terms of the Incremental Revolving Loans to be made thereunder, as such terms may be agreed between Borrower and the applicable Incremental Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility; provided, however, that:

(i) conditions to the availability of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be determined by Borrower and the arrangers and/or the Incremental Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment,

130

(ii) any fees payable in connection with any such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be determined by Borrower and the arrangers and/or the Incremental Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment,

(b) No Refinancing Facility shall benefit from any Guarantee by any Person other than a Loan Party or any Person that concurrently therewith becomes a Loan Party or be secured by a Lien on any asset that does not constitute Collateral (except to the extent that any additional collateral security is offered to be added to the Collateral to secure the Obligations, and additional Guarantees are offered to be added to guarantee the Obligations, in each case, for the benefit of the Secured Parties).

(f) This Section 2.28 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.19, Section 2.20, Section 9.08, any mandatory prepayment provisions hereunder or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary.

Section 2.29 Extensions of Loans and Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by Borrower to all Lenders of any Class, in each case, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans or Commitments of such Class, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (each, an “Extension”), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) [reserved];

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity date, premiums and discounts, (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), be determined by Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments extended pursuant to any Extension (the “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and the loans made thereunder, the “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) shall have terms no more favorable in any material respect, taken as a whole, than the terms of the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants and other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments being extended thereby);

(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premiums, discounts, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (the “Extended Term Loans”) shall have terms no more favorable in any material respect, taken as a whole, than the terms of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants and other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans being extended thereby);

133

(iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be no earlier than the then applicable latest Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments extended thereby;

(v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis other than as otherwise provided in this Agreement) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder of any then-existing Term Loans, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Term Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Term Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which Revolving Credit Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments offered to be extended by Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Revolving Credit Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;

(ix) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the Extensions shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000;

(x) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied or waived by Borrower; and

(xi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

134

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.29, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary prepayments for purposes of Section 2.14, (ii) the scheduled amortization payments (in so far as such schedule affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant Class) set forth in Section 2.13 shall be adjusted to give effect to the Extension of the relevant Class and (iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(viii) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by Borrower) of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.29 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.19 and 2.20) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.29.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) in satisfaction of the Minimum Extension Condition (if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments extended without the written consent of such Lender. All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured on the same basis as the Loans and Commitments extended thereby and the Guarantors shall guarantee such Obligations in respect thereof (it being understood that such obligations shall not benefit from any Guarantee by any Person other than a Loan Party or be secured by a Lien on any asset that does not constitute Collateral (except to the extent that any additional collateral security is offered to be added to the Collateral to secure, and additional guarantees are offered to be added for the benefit of, the Secured Parties)). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) with Borrower and other Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section 2.29.

(d) In connection with any Extension, Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.29.

(e) Each group of Extended Term Loans made on an Extension Date shall be designated a separate Class for all purposes of this Agreement.

135

(f) This Section 2.29 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, Section 2.19, Section 2.20 or Section 9.08 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary.

Section 2.30 Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, 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 the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders or any L/C Issuer as a result of any non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Swing Line Lender, any Lender or any L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any 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 eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Advances owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.30(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

136

(iii) such Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.07(b) for any period during which such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.02(h); and

(iv) during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.02, the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be determined without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit issued shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender. Subject to Section 9.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Xxxxxx having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Xxxxxx’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b) If Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and, if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided 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 such Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 5.12 Designation of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) After the Closing Date, Borrower may designate a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after giving effect to such designation on a Pro Forma Basis, no Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. If such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.01 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by Borrower. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at the time of designation and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced by delivering to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying that such designation complied with the conditions in the immediately preceding clause (a) and was permitted by Section 6.01.

(j) one or more ERISA Events shall have occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(l) any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in any material portion of the Collateral covered thereby, except to the extent resulting from (A) a sale or transfer of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents, (B) the release thereof as provided in the applicable Security Document or Section 9.20, or (C) acts or omissions by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates representing securities pledged under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and actually delivered to the Collateral Agent or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements); or

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

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Xxxxxxxx described in clause (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders (and, if an Event of Default as a result of Xxxxxxxx’s failure to comply with Section 6.09 occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Revolving Lenders only, and in such case, without limiting the proviso to clause (d) above, only with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, any Letters of Credit, L/C Credit Extensions and L/C Obligations) shall, by notice to Borrower, take the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued fees and all other liabilities of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued fees and all other liabilities of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which

184

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 8.01 The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

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

The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, unless the context otherwise requires or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender, include each Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. The Lenders

185

acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that any such Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

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

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to an Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine or any applicable Law; it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.26, 2.27, 2.28 or 2.29, any Incremental Equivalent Debt, Ratio Debt or Incurred Acquisition Debt) or that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08; provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose an Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as an Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the

186

Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral or to assure that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been or will continue to be properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

No Agent, solely in its capacity as such, (a) shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with, the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions or Net Short Lenders, or (b) shall have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of any Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

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

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it (including without limitation such Agent’s officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet, or intranet website posting or other distribution), believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, an Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.

Any Agent may resign at any time, on 30 days’ notice, by notifying the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Xxxxxxxx (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless an Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to),

187

on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank, trust company or other financial institution or an Affiliate thereof, which shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower (which consent shall not be required at any time an Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing). If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring or removed Agent’s notice of resignation or removal or Borrower notifies the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted the appointment, the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as Borrower or the Required Lenders, as applicable, appoint a successor agent as provided for below (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed). In addition to the foregoing, if the Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower (so long as no Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to such Person, remove such Person as an Agent. Upon any such removal by Xxxxxxxx, Borrower shall have the right, with the consent of the Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. With respect to any resignation or removal of a Person acting as an Agent, upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor (which successor shall, so long as no Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the approval of Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent), as applicable, and the retiring or removed Agent, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its duty of confidentiality). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, as applicable, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Parties.

188

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof, Co-Documentation Agent or Co-Syndication Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to comply with such Xxxxxx’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the PATRIOT Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121.

Each Lender agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable Law or otherwise to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Xxxxxx, including the filing of proofs of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agrees that (i) no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (A) the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition and (B) the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition.

Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 9.19 and 9.20. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Specified Swap Contract or Specified

189

Cash Management Agreement the obligations under or in respect of which constitute Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Specified Swap Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Agents to serve in their respective capacities under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate documentation was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective) (but only to the extent the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the IRS or other relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 8.02 Additional Acknowledgment of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Recipient (whether or not known to such Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Recipient under this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

190

(b) Without limitation of clause (a) above, each Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Recipient under this Section shall be made in same day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(d) Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of Borrower or any other Loan Party.

Section 8.03 Indemnity of Agents.

The Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each other Related Party (solely to the extent any such Related Party was performing services on behalf of any Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each other Related Party (solely to the extent any such Related Party was performing services on behalf of any Agent, each L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) from and against any and all indemnified liabilities pursuant to Section 9.05 incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Related Party of any portion of such indemnified liabilities resulting from such Related Party’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or material breach of this Agreement; provided that,

191

(a) to the extent each L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.03 solely in its capacity and role as an L/C Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with this 8.03(determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof at such time) and (b) no action taken in accordance with the terms of a Loan Document or in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.03. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against any indemnified liabilities pursuant to Section 9.05 in excess of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against any such indemnified liabilities described in the first proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified liabilities, this Section 8.03 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Xxxxxxxx; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect Xxxxxxxx’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse such Agent, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 8.03 shall survive termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, other Agents, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent, that it will, or will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 2.12, (b) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.

(iii) Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws with respect to Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Borrower hereby agrees that (i) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of Borrower Materials that may be distributed to Public Lenders, which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information, other than information of the type that would be publicly disclosed in

194

connection with an issuance of securities by Borrower pursuant to a public offering, with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes United States federal securities Laws (provided, however, that to the extent Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance of the intended distribution that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of the credit facilities provided for herein.

(iv) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities Laws.

(v) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OF SUCH PERSON’S RELATED PARTIES.

195

(vi) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by it at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to it for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Xxxxxx’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any Administrative Agent Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid, and so long as this Agreement has not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.18, 2.22 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Section 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Xxxxxxxx and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

196

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Eligible Transferee; provided, however, that (i) (A) the Administrative Agent and Borrower must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed other than with respect to an assignment to a Disqualified Institution); provided that (x) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required with respect to any assignment of a Loan or a Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and (y) the consent of Borrower shall not be required (I) [reserved], (II) with respect to any assignment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a Revolving Credit Commitment, to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and (III) during the continuance of any Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII; provided, further, that, other than with respect to an assignment to a Disqualified Institution, Borrower shall have been deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice thereof, (B) the consent of each L/C Issuer shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and (C) unless such assignment is made to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and subject to clause (ii) below, the amount of the Loans or Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 in respect of Loans or Commitments (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall (A) electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if no such system shall then be being utilized by the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund); provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, and (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax documentation. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.18, 2.22 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of its rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04(b) (other than Disqualified Institutions) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, Section 9.04(f).

197

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (viii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Transferee and is not a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain at one of its offices, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and Xxxxxxxx, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Collateral Agent and, solely with respect to its own interest, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, or any other Person as reasonably necessary to ensure that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire (including all applicable tax documentation) completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) above, if any, and, if required, the written consent of Xxxxxxxx and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the

198

Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (e); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide notice thereof as required under clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not in and of itself render any such assignment ineffective.

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Institution, except during the continuance of any Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII) (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may confirm, upon request by any Lender solely in connection with any proposed assignment or participation, whether such potential assignee or participant is a Disqualified Institution (provided, that such Xxxxxx agrees to keep such identity confidential) but the list of Disqualified Institutions shall not be posted to or shared with Lenders generally) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.16, 2.18 and 2.22 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.22(e), it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.22(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if they were Lenders; provided that such participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.23 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, 2.18 or 2.22, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive and (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder with respect to the Loans or Commitments in which such Person participates or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such Person participates, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such Person participates or increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Person participates). Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 9.04(f) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant which it sells a participation or grants a loan to and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each such participant’s participation interest with respect to the Loan (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligations is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation or granted Loan for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

199

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure of information that constitutes Information (as defined in Section 9.16), each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement (including through click-through or other customary methods) whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

(h) Any Lender may (without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent) at any time collaterally assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender (including, if such Lender is a fund that invests in bank loans, to a trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund or any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other “central” bank) other than any such collateral assignment to a Disqualified Institution (it being understood and agreed that any such Federal Reserve Bank or other “central” bank shall not be a Disqualified Institution); provided, however, that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto and any foreclosure or exercise of remedies by such assignee or trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.04 regarding assignments in all respects.

(i) [Reserved].

(j) Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) [Reserved].

(l) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender may assign or participate its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of Borrower (except during the continuance of any Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII) (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may confirm, upon request by any Lender solely in connection with any proposed assignment or participation, whether such potential assignee or participant is a Disqualified Institution (provided, that such Xxxxxx agrees to keep such identity confidential) but the list of Disqualified Institutions shall not be posted to or shared with Lenders generally). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not (a) be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with, the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions or Net Short Lenders and (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of any Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institution.

200

(m) [Reserved].

(n) Assignments to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Term Loans (if any) pursuant to this Section 9.04 may be made through (x) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis or (y) customary auction or other procedures pursuant to which offers to Lenders shall be made on a pro rata basis to Lenders of any Class (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such purchases shall not be required to be consummated on a pro rata basis), in each case as Borrower may elect, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(1) immediately following such repurchase, no Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;

(2) (A) the principal amount of such Term Loans along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to Borrower or other Subsidiary (including any repurchase made by an Unrestricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishment of the Term Loans then held by Borrower or Subsidiary and (C) Borrower or other Subsidiary shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to represent that it is not in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its securities in connection with any assignment pursuant to this clause (n).

(o) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Xxxxxxxx’s prior written consent pursuant to this Section 9.04 (except during the continuance of any Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) (with respect to Borrower) or (h) (with respect to Borrower) of Article VII), Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Loan by paying the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loans and (z) the market price of such Loans, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations and (z) the market price of such Loans, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

201

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to Xxxxxxxx and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders agreeing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Xxxxxxxx to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the L/C Issuer. If an L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding, as of the effective date of such resignation and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.02(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.07, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, taken as a whole, and if necessary or appropriate, of one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) to all such Persons, taken as a whole, or (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder (and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, in connection with the protection of such rights), but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel to the each Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and all Lenders, taken as a whole (and, in the case of a reasonably perceived or actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all similarly situated Persons, taken as a whole), and if necessary or appropriate, of one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) to all such Persons, taken as a whole (and solely in the case of a reasonably perceived or actual conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict notifies Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel to all similarly situated Persons, taken as a whole).

202

(b) Xxxxxxxx agrees to indemnify the each Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, each Lead Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (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, charges and disbursements (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a perceived or actual conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel to all similarly situated Indemnitees taken as a whole), and if necessary or appropriate, of one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a reasonably perceived or actual conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel to all similarly situated Indemnitees taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan 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 Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (iv) actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim or Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties (and any Indemnitee receiving payment under this Section 9.05(b) shall promptly refund the amount of such payment to the extent that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification in respect of such payment by virtue of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties) or (y) arise out of any dispute solely among the Indemnitees (other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lead Arranger, in each case acting in its capacity as such) and not out of any act or omission of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries unless such claims arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment). This Section 9.05(b) shall not apply to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities, charges, disbursements or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Related Party of the foregoing Persons under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Related Party of the foregoing Persons, as the case may be, such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, however, 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 Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Related Party of the foregoing Persons in its capacity as such.

203

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit Borrower’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.05(b) to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with Xxxxxxxx’s prior written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such proceeding then Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.05(b). If the indemnifying party has indemnified any Indemnitee or reimbursed any Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses in accordance with this Section 9.05 and the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.05, then the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing Persons. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days of written request therefor.

Section 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is hereby authorized, subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

204

Section 9.07 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of or any interest (other than default interest due pursuant to Section 2.09) on, any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof (other than any mandatory prepayment due hereunder), or, except as provided in Section 9.08(h) decrease the rate of interest (other than default interest due pursuant to Section 2.09), it being understood that any change in the definition of any ratio used in the calculation of such rate of interest (or the component definitions)shall not constitute a decrease in the rate of interest on any Loan, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender) or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees or waive payment of any fees, it being understood that any change in the definition of any ratio used in the calculation of such fees (or the component definitions) shall not constitute a decrease in such fee, or any other amount due and payable hereunder to any Xxxxxx, in each case, without the prior written consent of such Xxxxxx;

(iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 9.04(j), the provisions of this Section 9.08, or release from the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement any of Borrower, or all or substantially all of the Guarantors or release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents (including in connection with any transaction permitted under Section 6.07), in each case, in effect as of the Closing Date), in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

205

(iv) [reserved];

(v) [reserved];

(vi) (x) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments on the date hereof) or (y) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Revolving Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Revolving Credit Lender;

(vii) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 2.19, Section 2.25 or any other provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata payment requirements or “waterfall” priorities thereunder, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(viii) (A) contractually subordinate the Obligations in right of payment to any other Indebtedness for borrowed money or (B) contractually subordinate the Liens on any material portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations to Liens securing any other Indebtedness for borrowed money without the written consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender; provided that, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), (x) the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender shall not be required for any debtor-in-possession financings and (y) the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender shall not be required with respect to other Indebtedness so long as a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its Pro Rata Share of such Indebtedness on the same terms (including with respect to any economics thereof) offered to all other providers of such Indebtedness (but excluding any bona fide backstop fees or similar fees and/or expense reimbursement);

(ix) (w) amend or otherwise modify Section 6.09 (or for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.09, any defined terms used therein), (x) waive or consent to any Default or Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 6.09, (y) alter the rights or remedies of the Required Revolving Lenders arising pursuant to Article VII as a result of a breach of Section 6.09 or reinstate the Commitment of a Revolving Credit Lender after the termination thereof pursuant to Article VII resulting from a breach of Section 6.09 or (z) waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to Credit Extensions involving the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.08 to the contrary, the amendments, modifications, waivers and consents described in this clause (w) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Lenders;

206

(x) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class (or, if at any time any single Lender holds a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of any such adversely affected Class, such Lender and at least one other Lender that holds an interest in Loans or Commitments in such adversely affected class) without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class;

(xi) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 5.04(d) or the last sentence of Section 3.15 without the written consent of a majority of Lenders identifying as “private-side” Lenders;

provided, further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an L/C Issuer in addition to Borrower and the Lenders required above, directly and adversely affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer, in its capacity as such, under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application or any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by such L/C Issuer and Borrower or in favor of such L/C Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it, (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (D) for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required for any amendment, waiver or modification made pursuant to clauses (i) through (xi) of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the terms of any amendment to this Agreement provide that any Class of Loans will be repaid in full and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated as a condition to the effectiveness of such amendment, then so long as the Loans and Commitments (if any) of such Class are in fact repaid and terminated upon the effectiveness of such amendment, such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment and (y) without limiting the terms of Section 2.29 hereof, this Agreement may be amended to allow Borrower to make loan modification offers to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans that, if accepted, would (I) allow the maturity and scheduled amortization of the Loans of the accepting Lenders to be extended, (II) increase the Applicable Percentages and/or fees payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders and (III) treat the modified Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders as a new tranche of Loans and Commitments for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.08 or otherwise in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to effect the provisions of Sections 2.26 and 2.27 with the consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender (except as expressly provided in Sections 2.26 and 2.27),

207

(ii) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or any provision thereof waived, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, if such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is delivered in order to (A) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects, to fix incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies or to effect administrative, technical, immaterial or other similar changes not materially adverse to the Lenders (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower) or (B) cause any Security Document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or any provision thereof waived, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender for technical changes if the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days following the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, and (iv) without the consent of any Lender, Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any other collateral agent may enter into any amendment, supplement or modification of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest of the Secured Parties in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall make available to the Lenders copies of each such amendment or other modification to this Agreement.

(d) 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 the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) a Defaulting Lender shall retain and have all voting rights in Sections 9.08(b)(i) and 9.08(b)(ii), and (y) 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 relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders and Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower offers more favorable terms (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to a Class of Lenders in connection with an Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, Borrower may, at its discretion, grant the same terms to other Lenders under the same documentation with notice thereof to the Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, any Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank, (y) any Lender that is a Lead Arranger or any Affiliate thereof or (z) any Revolving Credit Lender or its Affiliates) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes Borrower or any other Loan Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by Borrower or any other Loan Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) Borrower and any other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by Borrower or any other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) Borrower or any other Loan Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of Borrower or any other Loan Parties other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or

209

guaranteed by Borrower or any other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if it or any of its Affiliates is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it and its Affiliates are not Net Short Lenders (it being understood and agreed that Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). Any failure by any Lender to so notify the Administrative Agent that it or any of its Affiliates is a Net Short Lender shall negate such Lender’s consent to any applicable amendment or waiver and such Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders that are not Net Short Lenders.

(h) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any

210

Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 9.08(h).

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

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

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

211

operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

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

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

Section 9.19 Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of Xxxxxxxx and the Guarantors under certain Indebtedness permitted hereunder may be secured by Xxxxx on assets of Borrower and the Guarantors that constitute Collateral. Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case, on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) the Initial Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any other Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreements, including, in each case, joinder agreements thereto, (ii) from time to time upon the request of Xxxxxxxx, in connection with the establishment, incurrence, amendment, refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness that is contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to an intercreditor agreement with the Collateral Agent, a Junior Lien Priority Intercreditor Agreement, including joinder agreements thereto, and (iii) any documents relating to any of the foregoing (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, “Permitted Intercreditor Documentation”), and to take such action, and to exercise the powers, rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent thereunder and with respect thereto.

Section 9.20 Collateral and Guarantee Matters. Each Lender and each other Secured Party (including in its capacity as a counterparty to a Specified Swap Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) irrevocably agrees that:

(a) the Guarantee of each Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) in the case of any Lien, at the time the property subject to such Lien is disposed or to be disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Loan Party, (iii) subject to Section 9.08(b)(iii), if the release of such Guarantee or such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) in the case of any Lien, to the extent the asset on which such Lien has been granted constitutes an Excluded Asset, (v) if the property subject to any Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (c) below or (vi) in the case of any Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.05(a)(2)(i), at the time that the property subject to such Lien, which is also subject to a Lien to secure obligations that are junior or pari passu to the Obligations, is released from such other Lien securing such other obligations;

(b) upon the request of Xxxxxxxx, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (d), (f) and (cc) (to the extent to the foregoing) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (in each case, to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens) pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

(c) any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder (including if Borrower elects that any Discretionary Guarantor that would otherwise constitute an Excluded Subsidiary cease to be a Discretionary Guarantor), in each case as certified in a certificate of a Financial Officer of Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be an issuer, borrower or guarantor in respect of the 2030

217

Notes Obligations; provided, further that any release of a Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (i) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted under this Agreement if (i) such transaction is a bona fide transaction the primary purpose of which is not the release of any guarantee or Lien and (ii) such transaction is consummated to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Borrower.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.20. In each case as specified in this Section 9.20, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will promptly upon the request of Borrower (and each Lender and other Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.20 (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry). Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.20 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (other than a representation that such Agent has not transferred the security interests granted to such Agent in any Collateral to any other Person). For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Section 9.20 shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Specified Swap Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreements. Any execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.20 or the release provisions of any Security Document shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent (other than the absence of any encumbrance created, or transfer made, by it).

Section 9.21 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

Section 9.23 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) As used in this Section 9.23 only, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

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

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

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