1.08Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof) shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.08; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsections (b) or (c) of this Section 1.08 when calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof), as applicable, for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not pro forma compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with any financial covenant pursuant to Section 7.10, the events described in this Section 1.08 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(b)For purposes of calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof) and Specified Transactions that have been consummated (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.08, then the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.08.

(c)In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange, extinguishment or satisfaction and discharge) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof), as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio (and the component definitions thereof) shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on (A) the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Total Net Leverage Ratio and (B) the first day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness); provided

that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable Test Period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such Test Period. Interest on a Finance Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Finance Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any classification under GAAP of any Person or business in respect of which a definitive agreement for the Disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, the earnings of such Person or business shall not be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA until such Disposition shall have been consummated.

1.09Limited Condition Transactions.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when determining compliance with any applicable conditions to the consummation of any Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions (including, without limitation, any Default or Event of Default condition, any representation or warranty and compliance with any Total Net Leverage Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio), the date of determination of such applicable conditions shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”). If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such 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), such applicable conditions are calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction and other related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which financial statements are available to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with the applicable conditions thereto, such applicable conditions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if an LCT Election is made, the only conditions applicable thereto tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction shall be (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties that would constitute “Specified Representations” (the definition of which shall be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Indebtedness) and the representations and warranties in the relevant acquisition

agreement the breach of which would permit the buyer to terminate its obligations thereunder or decline to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction (and the reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in the Specified Representations shall be understood for this purpose to refer to “Material Adverse Effect” or a similar definition as defined in the main transaction agreement governing such Limited Condition Transaction) and (ii) no Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is actually consummated. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified 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 date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (x) in the case of any Restricted Payment or Junior Prepayment, both (i) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other related transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other related transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated, and the applicable action shall only be permitted if there is sufficient availability under the applicable ratio or basket under both of the calculations pursuant to subsection (i) and (ii) and (y) in the case of any other Specified Transaction, on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other related transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.10Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a)The Borrower may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is an Eligible Currency. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with Commitments in respect of the subfacility under which such additional Alternative Currency is being requested and, in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(b)Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., twenty Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender thereof and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuers thereof. Each applicable Lender (in the case of a request pertaining to Revolving Loans) or L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c)Any failure by a Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and (i) all the Lenders with Commitments in respect of the subfacility under which such additional Alternative Currency is being requested or (ii) in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuers consent to making Revolving Loans or issuing Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Lenders or L/C Issuers, as applicable, reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans or issuances of Letters of Credit, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

1.11Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalent.

(a)The Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

(b)Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Dollar Equivalent (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

1.12Interest Rates.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, “EURIBO Rate,” “CDOR Rate” or “XXXXX Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate to any of the foregoing, or replacement rate thereof (including (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.03, whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(iv)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rate, EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or XXXXX Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did such rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

1.13Divisions.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred

from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

Article II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01Committed Loans.

(a)Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies, if any, on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may elect the Revolving Credit Facility under which any Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made (for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans on a non pro rata basis between the any Revolving Credit Facility and any other Revolving Credit Facility). Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(b)Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Term Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a single loan denominated in Dollars (the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Closing Date following the initial incurrence of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date. Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

(a)Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, XXXXX Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be

received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, or of any conversion of Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, CDOR Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans; and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of or conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans; provided, however, that, if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion (in the case of Committed Loans denominated in Dollars) or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:00 p.m., four Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders. Each Borrowing of, conversion to (in the case of Committed Loans denominated in Dollars) or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or such other amount as corresponds to any Term Loan amortization payment. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or such other amount as corresponds to any Term Loan amortization payment. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to another, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, XXXXX Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) the Facility pursuant to which the Borrowing is being requested, (vi) the currency of the Committed Borrowing and (vii) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan denominated in Dollars in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that, in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, such Committed Loans shall be continued as EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, respectively, in their original currency and, in the case of EURIBO Rate Loans and CDOR Rate Loans, with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to (in the case of Committed Loan denominated in Dollars), or continuation of EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Except as

provided in Section 3.03, no Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency (and no Committed Loan denominated in Dollars may be converted into EURIBO Rate Loan, XXXXX Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan and no EURIBO Rate Loan, XXXXX Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan may be converted into the Loan of any other Type), but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender that holds a Commitment (or, in the case of any Term Facility after the making of the applicable Term Loans, each Lender that holds any Term Loans) under the applicable Facility of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Term Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender that holds a Commitment under the applicable Facility shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is a part of the initial Credit Extensions on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that, if on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan Loan, XXXXX Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loan may be continued or (in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars) converted only on the last day of an Interest Period (or last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in the case of XXXXX Rate Loans) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan, XXXXX Rate Loan or EURIBO Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of an Event of Default, unless the Required Lenders under the applicable Facility elect otherwise, Term Loans under any Term Facility may be requested as, converted to and continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Revolving Loans may be requested as, converted to and continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, XXXXX Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loans without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provided that the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars be converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto to Base Rate Loans and any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, CDOR Rate Loans, XXXXX Rate Loans and/or EURIBO Rate Loans be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders funding such Loans of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or EURIBO Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate, CDOR Rate, EURIBO Rate or XXXXX Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders holding such Loans of any change in the Base Rate promptly following such change.

(e)After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

2.03Letters of Credit.

(a)The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in the Agreed Currencies for the account of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations of any L/C Issuer shall not exceed its ratable share of the Letter of Credit Sublimit (based on the Revolving Commitment of each L/C Issuer on the Closing Date), unless agreed in writing by such L/C Issuer and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the

foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii)The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii)The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;

(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than $15,000;

(D)[reserved];

(E)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(F)any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v)The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit

in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi)The 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 the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Sections 9.03, 9.04 and 9.05 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in such Sections included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(vii)The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue Commercial Letters of Credit.

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

(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the 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 Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the 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 L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the

Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Credit Facilities times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, 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 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 day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the 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 Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of subsection (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in the applicable Agreed Currency through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Commitment 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 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)Each Revolving Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an 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 at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)Until each Revolving Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as

contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the 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, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (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 the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share 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 Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit 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 Loan Document;

(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary 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 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 L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the 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 Debtor Relief Law;

(v)waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by the L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(vi)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vii)any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; or

(viii)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, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the 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 Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsections (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that, anything in such subsections to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the 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 the L/C Issuer shall not 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. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g)Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or expressly permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or expressly permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA),

or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(h)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and 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 Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i)Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit in such amounts and at such times as agreed from time to time by the Borrower and the L/C Issuer (which fronting fee shall equal 0.125% per annum unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and the L/C Issuer), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account fees with respect to Commercial Letters of Credit in such amounts and at such times as agreed from time to time by the Borrower and the L/C Issuer. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, 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 on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j)Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Person other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that the issuance of any Letters of Credit at the Borrower’s request for the account of any other Person will inure to the benefit of the Borrower.

(l)L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.03, provide the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Report, as set

forth below: (i) reasonably prior to the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the stated amount of the applicable Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed); (ii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment; (iii) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment; (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; and (v) for so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (B) at all other times a Letter of Credit Report is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (C) on each date that (1) an L/C Credit Extension occurs or (2) there is any expiration, cancellation and/or disbursement, in each case, with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

2.04Swing Line Loans.

(a)The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate 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 of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided further that the 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, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving 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 Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing

date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum 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 confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. 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 proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)Either of the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share 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 Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the 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 Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate 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 Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the 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, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) 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 the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Revolving 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 Revolving Lender through the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’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 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share 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 Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 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. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05Prepayments.

(a)The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than any premium or penalty described in Section 2.05(l) or that may be agreed between the Borrower and any Lenders pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (A) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent’s New York office not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (B) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans, to the Administrative Agent’s New York office not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment and (C) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, CDOR Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, to the Administrative Agent’s London office not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, such other amount equal to the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the Loans to be prepaid are Term Loans or Revolving Loans and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan, EURIBO Rate Loan or XXXXX Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loan shall be made together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b)The Borrower may, upon 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 (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c)If (i) as a result of the occurrence of a Revaluation Date, the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect or (ii) for any other reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed 100% of the

Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, then (x) in the case of clause (i), the Borrower shall prepay within two Business Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of clause (ii), the Borrower shall immediately prepay, in each case Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed 105% or 100%, as applicable, of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(d)Within five Business Days after any Debt Issuance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall repay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such incurrence or issuance.

(e)Within five Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition permitted under Section 7.05(p) or from any Extraordinary Loss, in each case from and after the Closing Date the Borrower shall repay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, if the Borrower shall certify at the time of such receipt that it intends to Reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower may use such Net Cash Proceeds for such purposes; provided further that, to the extent the Borrower shall not have Reinvested 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds by not later than 360 days after the receipt thereof (or, if the Borrower shall have contractually committed to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds during such 360 day period, to the extent the Borrower shall not have Reinvested 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the later of (x) 360 days after the receipt thereof or (y) 180 days after the date of such contractual commitment), the Borrower shall use any such remaining Net Cash Proceeds to repay Term Loans on such date; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to repay Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (e) unless and until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds the Borrower is required to use to prepay Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (e) is equal to or greater than $2,500,000 (and then only amounts in excess of $2,500,000 shall be required to be prepaid).

(f)Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, within five Business Days after the delivery of each Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b) that relates to financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022), minus, at the election of the Borrower, (ii) the aggregate amount of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Loans and other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Secured Obligations (in the case of Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments or commitments under other revolving facilities) made during such fiscal year (without duplication of any voluntary prepayments of Term Loans or Revolving Loans deducted from the Excess Cash Flow payment for the prior fiscal year) and since January 1 of the current fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.05(a) (other than any such voluntary prepayments funded with proceeds of long-term Indebtedness), minus, at the election of the Borrower, (iii) the aggregate cash amount paid by the Borrower in connection with purchases of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Loans and other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Secured Obligations (in the case of Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments or

commitments under other revolving facilities) pursuant to Auctions in accordance with Section 2.18 and pursuant to Permitted Open Market Purchases during such fiscal year (without duplication of any amounts paid by the Borrower in connection with purchases of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Loans and other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Secured Obligations pursuant to Auctions and Permitted Open Market Purchases and deducted from the Excess Cash Flow payment for the prior fiscal year) and since January 1 of the current fiscal year (other than any such amounts funded with proceeds of long-term Indebtedness); provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.05(f) shall be required unless such amount is in excess of $2,500,000 (and then only amounts in excess of $2,500,000 shall be required to be prepaid).

(g)[Reserved].

(h)All prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Sections 2.05(a), (d), (e) or (f) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal payments of the applicable Term Loans in the direct order of maturity (or as the Borrower may otherwise direct). All prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Sections 2.05(e) or (f) shall be applied pro rata among classes of Term Loans (excluding any class of Term Loans that has agreed to receive a less than pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment) and shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such class of Term Loans. Each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.05(d) in connection with a Debt Issuance shall be allocated to any class of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower and shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such class of Term Loans.

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05, any Net Cash Proceeds from any such Extraordinary Loss, Debt Issuance or Disposition and any such Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied to prepay the Loans may, at the Borrower’s option, be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Extraordinary Loss, Debt Issuance or Disposition or Excess Cash Flow is required under the terms of such Other First Lien Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, applied to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, relative to Lenders, in which case such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, may only be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Term Loans. To the extent the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid with any such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, the declined amount of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other First Lien Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Any such application to Other First Lien Indebtedness shall reduce any prepayments otherwise required hereunder by an equivalent amount.

(j)The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (who will notify each Lender) notice of each prepayment required under Section 2.05(d), (e) or (f) not less than five Business Days prior to the date such prepayment shall be made (each such date, a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (ii) the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and (iii) the Type of each Loan being prepaid. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Sections 2.05(d), (e) or (f), a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of any repayment. Each such Lender may reject all (but not a portion) of its pro rata share of any mandatory repayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(d), (e) or (f) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent regarding such repayment. Each Rejection Notice shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans to which such Lender is otherwise entitled.

(k)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by any Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Asset Sale”), the Net Cash Proceeds from any Extraordinary Loss incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Recovery Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05 so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary will not permit repatriation to the United States, and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, rule or regulation or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of repatriating such amounts and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05, (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale, Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax consequences, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05 (provided that the Borrower hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce such material adverse tax consequences to enable prepayment to be made (but in no event shall the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries be required to make any changes to their organizational or Tax structure or incur any non-de minimis out-of-pocket expenses)).

(l)In the event of a full or partial prepayment or conversion of Initial Term Loans (other than as required by Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(f) and other than in connection with a Change of Control or Transformative Event) effected prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date through the issuance of any new or replacement Indebtedness (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any drawing under any Revolving Credit Facility) having a lower All-In Yield than the All-In Yield then in effect in respect of the Initial Term Loans being repaid, such prepayment shall include a premium in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid. In the event that any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that has the effect of decreasing the interest rate payable in respect of the Initial Term Loans (other than any such amendment in connection with a Change of Control or Transformative Event) is effected prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay an amendment fee (x) to any Lender approving such amendment (other than any replacement Lender replacing a Lender pursuant to Section 10.16 in connection with such amendment) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of Initial Term Loans, as applicable, for which such interest rate is decreased and (y) to any Lender replaced pursuant to Section 10.16 in connection with such amendment in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Initial Term Loans, as applicable, being assigned pursuant to such replacement.

2.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments

. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may terminate Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Credit Facility on a non-pro rata basis with, and without terminating Revolving Commitments under, any other Revolving Credit Facility and may repay Revolving Loans under any Revolving Credit Facility on a non-pro rata basis with, and without repaying the Revolving Loans under, any other Revolving Credit Facility.

2.07Repayment of Loans.

(a)[Reserved.]

(b)The Borrower shall make repayments of the Initial Term Loans on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021) in an amount equal to (x) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date plus (y) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of any Increased

Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.15; provided that (i) if from time to time any Increased Term Loans are incurred under this Agreement that are intended to form part of the same Class as any then-existing Initial Term Loans, the rate of amortization of such Increased Term Loans shall be increased (relative to the rate of amortization of the then-existing Initial Term Loans of the same Class) to the extent necessary so that such Increased Term Loans and the then-existing Initial Term Loans form the same class of Term Loans and, to the extent possible, a “fungible” tranche, and share ratably in the scheduled payments applicable to such Class of Initial Term Loans without decreasing the amount of any scheduled payment to any Lender on the then-existing Initial Term Loans of such Class that otherwise would have been payable to such Lender immediately prior to the incurrence of such Increased Term Loans and (ii) each adjustment pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) shall be determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and permitted hereunder without the consent of any Lender. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Initial Term Loans on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Facility.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)The Borrower shall repay in full to each Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date for any Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding under such Facility on such date.

2.08Interest.

(a)Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Revolving Loan and Initial Term Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Revolving Loan, Initial Term Loan that is a Base Rate Committed Loan and each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Revolving Loan that is a EURIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iv) each Revolving Loan that is a CDOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the CDOR Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (v) each Revolving Loan that is a XXXXX Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum

equal to the XXXXX Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (vi) [reserved]; (vii) each Incremental Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the rate per annum set forth in the Incremental Joinder for the applicable Incremental Term Facility; (viii) each Other Term Loan and Other Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the rate per annum set forth in the Refinancing Amendment for the applicable Facility; and (ix) each Extended Term Loan and Extended Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the rate per annum set forth in the Extension Amendment for the applicable Facility.

If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the request of the Required Lenders, all outstanding overdue principal, fees and other obligations in respect of Loans shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(i)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

(a)Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Facility, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Rate for such Revolving Credit Facility times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments for purposes of determining the unused fee. The unused fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for any Revolving Credit Facility. The unused fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b)Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

2.10Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a)All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and Pounds Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b)If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Facilities and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans under the applicable Facility in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and

endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12Payments Generally.

(a)All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s applicable office in such Alternative Currency and in same day funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after the Applicable Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b)If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c)Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case

of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i)if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii)if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

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

(d)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or purchase its participation.

(f)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may terminate Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility on a non-pro rata basis with, and without terminating Revolving Commitments or repaying Revolving Loans under, any other Revolving Credit Facility and may repay Revolving Loans on a non-pro rata basis with, and without repaying the Revolving Loans under, any other Revolving Credit Facility.

(h)With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

2.13Sharing of Payments.

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders entitled to such payment such participations in the Committed Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Committed Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each other Lender entitled to such payment; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be

conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.14[Reserved].

2.15Incremental Facilities.

(a)Request for Increase. Subject to Sections 1.08 and 1.09, provided that there exists no Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request (i) an increase in the Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (an “Increased Revolving Commitment”), (ii) commitments from Lenders to make additional Term Loans under any then-existing Term Facility (each, an “Increased Term Loan Commitment”) or (iii) one or more new term loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”); provided that (x) any such Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (y) the aggregate principal amount of such requested Increased Revolving Commitment, Increased Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Facility shall not exceed the Incremental Loan Amount at such time.

(b)Notification by the Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Any Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Facility may, at the option of the Borrower, be provided by existing Lenders or, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) but only to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be needed for an assignment to such Lender under Section 10.07, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”). For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall have any obligation to provide any portion of any Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Facility.

(c)Effective Date and Allocations. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of any Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Facility. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increases. As conditions precedent to any such increase, (i) before and after giving effect to such increase, subject to Sections 1.08 and 1.09, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, except that any such representation or warranty qualified by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in

Section 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), respectively, (ii) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, the conditions described in subsection (i) above have been satisfied, (iii) if the proposed Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Facility, as applicable, would be incurred in reliance on subsection (b) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”, subject to Sections 1.08 and 1.09, the Total Net Leverage Ratio would not exceed 4.00 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis (without netting any cash proceeds from the incurrence of such Increased Revolving Commitment, Increased Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Facility and calculated as though any such Increased Revolving Commitments were fully drawn), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received a joinder agreement (each, an “Incremental Joinder”) duly executed by the Borrower, each Lender providing any portion of such Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Facility and the Administrative Agent setting forth the commitments and other provisions relevant to such Increased Revolving Commitments, Increased Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Facility (which in the case of any Incremental Term Facility shall in any event include interest rates, the Maturity Date and any amortization) which shall in each case be customary for facilities of such type and, in the case of any Additional Lender (provided that any such Increased Term Loan Commitments or Increased Revolving Commitments shall be additional Term Commitments or Revolving Commitments hereunder having terms and conditions (other than any upfront or similar fees payable on the Increase Effective Date) identical to the applicable existing Term Commitments or Revolving Commitments), such Additional Lender shall agree to become a party to this Agreement, and provide legal opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to the matters similar to those covered in the opinions delivered on the Closing Date, (v) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility (other than Customary Bridge Loans), the maturity date applicable to such Incremental Term Facility shall be on or after the latest Maturity Date of each Term Facility then outstanding and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Term Facility then outstanding, (vi) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, in the event that the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Facility is greater than the Applicable Rate for the Initial Term Facility by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Rate for the Initial Term Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Facility (and any other Incremental Term Facility) is not more than 0.50% higher than the All-In Yield for the Initial Term Facility, (vii) in the case of an Increased Term Loan, such Increased Term Loan shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Term Loans, (viii) in the case of an Increased Revolving Commitment, such Increased Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Initial Revolving Credit Facility and (ix) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, any other terms and provisions applicable to such Incremental Term Facility shall be (A) when taken as a whole with all of the terms of such Incremental Term Facility, not materially less favorable to the Loan Parties than the terms of the Term Loans, when taken as a whole or (ii) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall also pay any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) incurred in connection with the increase of any Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(e)Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, (x) benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty and the Collateral and (y) not have any borrower or guarantors other than the Borrower and the Guarantors or benefit from any collateral other than the Collateral.

(f)Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.16Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events. If there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following any written request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall be released pursuant to this Section 2.16 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer

that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that, subject to Section 2.17 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.17Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)Waivers and Amendments. 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”, “Required Covenant Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders” and Section 10.01.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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 VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 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 Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender 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 exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations 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 Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.

(C)With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause any Non-Defaulting Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 10.27, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in subsection (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under

applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders under the applicable Facility or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under any Facility to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of such Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans with respect to any Term Facility (each, an “Auction”), each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with (but not subject to the approval of) the Administrative Agent in such capacity (the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 and Schedule 2.18;

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

(iii)the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and the offered purchase price shall be at a discount to par;

(iv)the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(v)no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time;

(vi)no more than four Auctions may be effected in any twelve month period (unless a higher number is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(vii)each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders under the relevant Term Facility on a pro rata basis and shall be revocable and/or conditional at the Borrower’s option; and

(viii)at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying compliance with preceding subsection (ii).

(b)With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to, but not including (if paid prior to 12:00 p.m.) the settlement date of such purchase and (y) subject to Section 2.05(f) and the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”, such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement (although the par principal amount of Term Loans under the respective Facility so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal payments of the applicable Term Loans in the direct order of maturity (or as the Borrower may otherwise direct).

(c)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.18 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.18 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.18 or result in an Event of Default as a result of the Auction or purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.18. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 10.04 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

2.19Refinancing Amendments.

(a)At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this subsection (a) will be deemed to include any Revolving Loan, any Initial Term Loan, any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loans) or other Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, in the form of Other Term Loans, Other Term Commitments, Other Revolving

Loans or Other Revolving Commitments (in each case, which may have the same terms as any other then existing Term Loans or Revolving Commitments) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19 or otherwise, (1) in the case of any Other Term Facility, the applicable Refinancing Amendment shall specify whether such Facility is a Covenant Facility or a Non-Covenant Facility and (2) the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Refinancing Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest Maturity Date for any Covenant Facility in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment that remains in effect after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Other Term Loans, Other Term Commitments, Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, by executing a Refinancing Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.13 or Section 10.09). The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall, subject to Section 1.09, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, and to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such refinancing and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such refinancing, subject to Section 1.09, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date and except that for purposes of this Section 2.19, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), respectively (provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language are true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates, as applicable) and (B) no Event of Default exists. Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Section 2.19(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $5,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or if less, the entire remaining aggregate principal amount of the applicable Refinanced Debt).

(b)The Other Term Loans, Other Term Commitments, Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.19 and the applicable Refinancing Amendment shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty and the security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Term Commitments and Other Revolving Commitments, as applicable). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,

in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19.

(c)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.20Extension of Loans and Commitments.

(a)The Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Facility (an “Existing Term Facility” and any related Term Loans thereunder, “Existing Term Loans”) be modified to constitute another Facility of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so modified, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.20. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Facility) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Facility from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Facility and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased yield contemplated by the preceding subsection (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any tranche of Extended Term Loans may receive (A) mandatory prepayments of Term Loans in an amount equal to or less than its Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayments offered to all tranches of Term Loans (but not more than its Pro Rata Share) and (B) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in an amount greater than, equal to or less than its Pro Rata Share of such voluntary prepayments made to all tranches of Term Loans, (iv) the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.07 or the applicable Incremental Joinder or Refinancing Amendment applicable to such Existing Term Facility shall be adjusted to reflect the scheduled final maturity date of the Extended Term Loans and the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of such Extended Term Loans set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Facility and (v) the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest Maturity Date for any Covenant Facility in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment that remains in effect after giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.13 or Section 10.09). Each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.05 applicable to such Term Loans) and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty and the Collateral. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Facility modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension

Request. Any Extended Term Loans established pursuant to the same Extension Amendment shall constitute a separate facility of Term Loans (each, an “Extended Term Facility”) from the Existing Term Facility from which they were modified.

(b)The Borrower may at any time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Facility (an “Existing Revolving Facility” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be modified to constitute another Facility of Revolving Commitments in order to extend the scheduled maturity date thereof (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so modified, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.20. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Facility) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Facility from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled termination date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and the related scheduled maturity date of the related Extended Revolving Loans shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the yield with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans may be higher or lower than the yield for the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Facility and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased yield contemplated by the preceding subsection (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Applicable Rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Facility and (iv) the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest Maturity Date for any Covenant Facility in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment that remains in effect after giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Revolving Commitments, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.13 or Section 10.09). Each Lender holding Extended Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.05 applicable to Existing Revolving Loans) and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and the Collateral. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Facility modified to constitute Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments established pursuant to the same Extension Amendment shall constitute a separate facility of Revolving Commitments (each, an “Extended Revolving Facility”) from the Existing Revolving Facility from which they were modified. If, on the date of any Extension Amendment, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Facility, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Facility. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Extension Amendment and with the consent of the

applicable L/C Issuer, upon the termination of Revolving Commitments under a Revolving Credit Facility with an earlier Maturity Date than an Extended Revolving Facility, participations in Letters of Credit under such Revolving Credit Facility shall be re-allocated from Lenders of such Revolving Credit Facility to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such Extension Amendment; provided that (i) such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) such re-allocation shall not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans to exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(c)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the existing Facility are requested to respond. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the existing Facility subject to such Extension Request modified to constitute Extended Loans and related Commitments (an “Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the existing Facility which it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Loans and related Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the existing Facility subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans and related Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be modified to constitute Extended Loans and related Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in such Extension Elections. The Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Extended Loans and related Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans and related Commitments established thereby) extending their respective Loans and Commitments thereunder and, in the case of any Extended Term Facility, shall specify whether such Facility is a Covenant Facility or a Non-Covenant Facility. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. An Extension Amendment may, subject to Sections 2.20(a) and (b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including, without limitation, such technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Loans and related Commitments); provided that each Lender whose Loans or Commitments are affected by such Extension Amendment shall have approved such Extension Amendment.

(e)The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall, subject to Section 1.09, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, and to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, subject to Section 1.09, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), respectively (provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language are true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates, as applicable) and (B) no Event of Default exists.

(f)This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

Article III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent, a Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (f) below, and shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws. To the extent that the deduction or withholding is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay 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.

100

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, the Administrative Agent against (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the 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 any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup

101

withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

(III)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-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 the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form

000

X‑0XXX-X (xx X-0XXX, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating lender) and one or more beneficial owners 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 F-4 on behalf of each such beneficial owner;

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

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

(iii)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv)Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(f).

(v)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver..

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been

103

indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

3.02Illegality.

If any Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, issue or fund Credit Extensions, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to such Credit Extensions or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)If (i) the Required Revolving Lenders or (ii) the Required Term Lenders with respect to any Term Facility determine (A) (x) that deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable requested amount of Agreed Currency and Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or (y)

104

that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or XXXXX Rate with respect to a proposed XXXXX Rate Loan (in each case with respect to this subsection (A), “Impacted Loans”), or (B) that the Eurocurrency Rate or XXXXX Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or XXXXX Rate Loan, respectively, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender under the applicable Facility. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans, as applicable, under such Facility shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders with respect to the applicable Facility, as applicable) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, under such Facility or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under such Facility in the amount specified therein.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(i)On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month Dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of Dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document . If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(ii)(x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” are available, or (C) with respect to Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency, a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. 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 (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that, solely in the event that the applicable then-current Benchmark for

105

Loans denominated in Dollars at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y)On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(iv)In connection with the implementation and administration 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.

(v)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the Administrative Agent shall consider in good faith any reasonable request by the Borrower intended to avoid such changes resulting in a deemed exchange of the Loans for United States federal income tax purposes.

106

(vi)At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(c)With respect to the XXXXX Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.04Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves.

(a)Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) or reserve requirement reflected in the XXXXX Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in subsections (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, EURIBO Rate Loans, XXXXX Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such

107

Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Reserves. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan, EURIBO Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or XXXXX Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

108

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, EURIBO Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16;

including any loss of anticipated profits solely attributable to a decline in the Eurocurrency Rate, EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or XXXXX Rate after the date such Loan was made and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan, EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or XXXXX Rate made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate, EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or XXXXX Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or XXXXX Rate was in fact so funded. Any Lender making a claim for compensation for losses pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall make such claim within 30 days after such Lender first becomes aware of the loss, cost or expense incurred by it.

3.06Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a)A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any and all claims for compensation under this Article III (other than Section 3.05) shall be made by a Lender within 180 days after such Lender becomes aware of the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any request for compensation under this Article III and take any other action available to reduce or mitigate such costs in each case if such action will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.16(b).

109

3.07Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Facilities and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank. Each Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Article IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01Appointment and Authority.

(a)Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” or “security trustee” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), or party to a Swap Contract (and on behalf of any of its Affiliates that is party to a Swap Contract) or to a Cash Management Agreement (and on behalf of any of its Affiliates that is a party to a Cash Management Agreement)) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender (and such Affiliates of such Lender) and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent”, “security trustee” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Sections 10.04 and 10.05 as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” or “security trustee” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c)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 any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar Dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, except as otherwise expressly limited herein, 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 Lender, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

148

Disqualified Lenders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Lender.

The Administrative 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. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

9.05Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

9.06Resignation of the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring

149

Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer with respect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) 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.

9.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and each L/C Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger to any Lender or each L/C Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations,

150

property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.

9.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

151

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in subsections (a) through (j) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral

152

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

9.10Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably agrees:

(a)that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Facilities and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank shall have been made) and the Cash Collateralization, expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) in connection with a corporate restructuring of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries permitted hereunder so long as after giving effect thereto substantially all Collateral of the Borrower and of each Subsidiary that remains a Guarantor after giving effect thereto remains Collateral, (iii) at the time such property is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than a sale to a Loan Party), (iv) at the time such property constitutes or becomes Excluded Property, (v) that was granted by a Guarantor that is released from the Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01;

(b)that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person is an Excluded Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) a Guarantor shall not be released from its Guaranty solely due to becoming an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof unless such transfer of Capital Stock in such Guarantor is to a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and is consummated for a bona fide business purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) and (y) a Guarantor shall not be released from its Guaranty solely due to being an Excluded Subsidiary if such Guarantor became a Guarantor as a result of the proviso to the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary”);

(c)that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty as a result of a corporate restructuring of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries permitted hereunder so long as after giving effect thereto each Person that is required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms hereof becomes or continues to be a Guarantor;

(d)[reserved];

(e)that the Administrative Agent may subordinate or release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(b) (solely with respect to Finance Lease Obligations outstanding on the Closing Date), (f), (g), (o), (s) or (w) to the extent the documents

153

governing such Indebtedness do not permit any other Lien (or any senior Lien, as applicable) on such property; and

(f)to consent to and enter into (and execute documents permitting the filing and recording, where appropriate) the grant of easements and covenants and subordination rights with respect to real property, conditions, restrictions and declarations on customary terms, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements on customary terms reasonably requested by the Borrower with respect to leases entered into by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent requested by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

9.11Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Banks.

No Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to any Lender to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

9.12Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or any L/C Issuer (the “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds

154

mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Facilities and repayment of all other Obligations.

10.05Indemnification by the Borrower; Reimbursement by Lenders; Waiver.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Arranger and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (with respect to legal fees, subject to the second proviso set forth below), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any

160

other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided 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 bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (y) result from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or its Related Parties’ obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that is solely among Indemnitees (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or L/C Issuer in its capacity as such or other similar role). In connection with any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement by more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the one primary legal counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, in each case, selected by the Indemnitees; provided further that, if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees is reasonably likely to result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to one additional counsel.

To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.04 or Section 10.05 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or their respective Related Parties, 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or

161

punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, none of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), any Lender, any Arranger or any L/C Issuer, nor any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Released Parties”) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Released Party through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Released Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within 30 days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive after the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Facilities and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

10.06Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of set-off or recoupment, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or recoupment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under subsection (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.07Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void ab initio). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be

162

construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it under any Facility); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Commitment under any Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of any such Lender’s Commitment or Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of Revolving Credit Facility, $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this subsection (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Commitments on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of an assignment, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) a Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect

163

of the same Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) except in the case of any Permitted Open Market Purchase or Term Loans purchased through Auctions pursuant to Section 2.18, any Term Loan or (following the termination of the Revolving Commitments) any Revolving Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; provided that, with respect to an assignment of Term Loans, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of notice by the Administrative Agent;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) a Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or Loans in respect of the same Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) except in the case of any Permitted Open Market Purchase or Term Loans purchased through Auctions pursuant to Section 2.18, any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender;

(C)the consent of the L/C Issuer shall be required for any assignment in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility; and

(D)the consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility.

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)No Assignment to the Borrower or a Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (except in the case of any Permitted Open Market Purchase or Term Loans purchased through Auctions pursuant to Section 2.18) or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subsection (B).

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons or Disqualified Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or Disqualified Lender.

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective

164

unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 10.07(d).

(c)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender

165

wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Lender (to the extent that the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to the Lenders) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided 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 and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that (i) reduces the fees, interest rate or principal payable directly or indirectly to such Participant (or such Lender in respect of such Participant), (ii) increases the Commitment of such Participant (or such Lender in respect of such Participant) or (iii) extends the final maturity date for the Loans held by such Participant (or such Lender in respect of such Participant). Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided, however, that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

166

(e)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(f)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(c)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $2,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its

167

funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender hereunder with respect to all Swing Line Loans outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Swing Line Lender (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c)).

10.08Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective auditors, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives that need to know such information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to the Borrower to the extent practicable and legally permitted), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(f), or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the

168

Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all non-public information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure to any such Person by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.09Set-off.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.10Interest Rate Limitation.

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

10.11Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

169

10.12Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.13Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.14Severability.

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

10.15[Reserved].

10.16Replacement of Lenders.

If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non‑Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, either (A) terminate the Commitments and prepay the Loans (or the Commitments and Loans of such Lender under the relevant Facility) of such Lender or (B) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.07(b);

170

(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances under the applicable Facilities, accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from (A) in the case of an assignment, (x) at the election of the Borrower, either the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower or (y) the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) or (B) in the case of a termination and prepayment, the Borrower;

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e)in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation or be terminated and prepaid if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation or termination and prepayment cease to apply. No action by or consent of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with any assignment or delegation pursuant Section 10.16(B), which assignment and delegation shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

10.17Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

10.24Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further that, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

10.25Entire Agreement.

10.26Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and 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 or L/C Issuer 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:

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

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

10.27No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent,

174

10.28[Reserved].

10.29Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

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

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. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

10.30Certain ERISA Matters.
