Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein and (ii) the accounting for any lease (and whether the obligations thereunder shall constitute “Capitalized Lease Obligations”) shall be based on GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in GAAP (or the required implementation of any previously promulgated changes in GAAP) relating to the treatment of a lease as an operating lease or capitalized lease.

SECTION1.08Limited Condition Acquisitions. As it relates to any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or financial test,

(i)testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to EBITDA or Total Assets), or

(ii)testing whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and, with respect to any New Term Loan to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition, testing whether any representation or warranty in any Loan Document is correct as of such date,

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, any such Default or Event of Default exists and any such representation or warranty is correct shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith, including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, as if they had occurred on the first day of the most recently ended Test Period prior to the LCT Test Date), the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with or if no such Default or Event of Default shall exist on such LCT Test Date or such representation or warranty is correct as of such LCT Test Date then such condition shall be deemed satisfied on the date of consummation of such LCT Test Date for purposes of clause (iii) above; provided that if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal periods shall have become available, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the

-52-

Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or any such representation or warranty in any Loan Document is not correct on the date of such Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets, tests or ratios or requirement will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such circumstance; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction permitted hereunder (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

SECTION1.09Term Loan Facility Consent Date and Effectiveness of the 100% Lender Consent Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the Initial Term Loan Facility Consent or Termination Date all of the 100% Lender Consent Amendments shall automatically become effective.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each such Term Loan Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of (x) $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess

-53-

thereof, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans or (y) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans.

(b)The Agent shall give to each applicable Lender prompt notice of the Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request and, if Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans are properly requested in such Borrowing Request, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each applicable Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Agent at the Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. If a Lender funds such Borrowing to the Agent, upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 9.02) on the requested date of Borrowing of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as applicable, and after the Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

(c)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(d)The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Term Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender, during the period of such failure, being a “Non-Funding Lender”), shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Term Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Term Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09, (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower with respect to Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the ECF Percentage for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended, 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 2.09, as the case may be, so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result of repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09, and (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any foreign tax credit

-57-

or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to the 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 2.09; provided that when the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result of repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09.

SECTION 2.10Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent such fees as have been separately agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

SECTION 2.11Interest.

(a)Rate of Interest.

[Reserved].

All Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof which shall accrue and be payable in the currency in which such Term Loan is denominated from the date such Term Loans are made as follows:

(A)if a Base Rate Term Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;

(B)[Reserved]; or

(C)if a Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b)Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Term Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fourth Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Term Loan, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Term Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan, as the case may be and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c)Default Interest. If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Term Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the

-58-

case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% and (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.11(a)(A) or Section 2.11(a)(C), as applicable, plus 2% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

SECTION 2.12Conversion/Continuation Options.

(a)(i) The Borrower may elect (x) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Term Loans or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans or (y) at the end of any Interest Period, to convert such Term Loan into a Base Rate Term Loan, and (ii) the Borrower may elect at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to continue Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i) above the aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, for each Interest Period shall not be less than $2,000,000 (in the case of Base Rate Term Loans) or $5,000,000 (in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans). Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Term Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G and shall be made by giving the Agent prior written notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance specifying (A) the amount and type of Term Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.

(b)The Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of an Interest Election Request and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no (i) conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Term Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, or (ii) continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, in each case, shall be permitted at any time at which (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined not to permit such continuation or conversion or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14(b). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.12, the Agent does not receive an Interest Election Request from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Term Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, Term Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Term Loans. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.13Payments and Computations.

(a)The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the day when due, in Dollars, except as specified in the following sentence, to the Agent at the Agent’s Office for payments in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim. The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Lenders for such payments ratably in accordance with the amount of such principal, interest or fees due and owing to such Lenders on such date; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders. Payments received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall, at the option of the Agent, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b)All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest for Base Rate Term Loans calculated by

-59-

reference to the Prime Rate, which shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable). Each determination by the Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Base Rate Term Loans, and second, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, with those Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(e)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Term Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent.

SECTION 2.14Increased Costs; Change of Law, Etc.

(a)Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans shall be determined by the Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”.

(b)Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. Prior to the Initial Term Loan Facility Consent or Termination Date:

(A)Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. Inin the event that (i) the Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Required Class Lenders of the affected Term Loan Facility notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each affected Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term Loan, convert into a Base Rate Term Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans or to convert Base Rate Term Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Class Lenders under the

-60-

affected Term Loan Facility have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(ii)From and after the Initial Term Loan Facility Consent or Termination Date (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document):

(A)Replacing Eurocurrency Screen Rate. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of Eurocurrency Screen Rate’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month Eurocurrency Screen Rate tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of Eurocurrency Screen Rate have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is Eurocurrency Screen Rate, 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.

(B)Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the 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 Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Class Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Term 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 the Base Rate.

(C)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the 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.

(D)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any

-61-

determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, 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 or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(E)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Eurocurrency Screen Rate), then the Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(c)Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate);

(B)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans made by such Lender; or

(C)subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.15 or Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by subclause (iii) of this clause (c), the Borrower will pay to such Lender in accordance with subclause (iii) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, as reasonably determined by such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis)) and in a manner consistent with similarly situated borrowers of such Lender, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

(ii) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Person or such Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Person’s policies and the policies of such Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by subclause (iii) of this clause (c) of this Section 2.14 the Borrower will pay to such Lender in accordance with subclause (iii) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person or such Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, as reasonably determined by such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis)) and in a manner consistent with similarly situated borrowers of such Lender, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

-62-

(iii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in subclause (i) or (ii) of this clause (c) and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this clause (c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d)Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans and to convert Base Rate Term Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Term Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, and (ii) if any affected Term Loans are then outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Term Loan into Base Rate Term Loans. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans, shall thereupon be restored.

(e)Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender that has made a Term Loan to the Borrower, upon written request in accordance with this clause (e), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans or to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Rate on the relevant Term Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request or an Interest Election Request given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.12, (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan is repaid or prepaid (including pursuant to Section 2.09) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan to a Base Rate Term Loan, as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a result of any assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17. In the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of the Term Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been

-63-

applicable to the Term Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for the Term Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. The Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate delivered to the Borrower and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this clause (e) and the basis therefor within ten (10) days after receipt thereof; provided such certificate sets forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined.

SECTION 2.15Taxes.

(a)All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless a deduction or withholding is required by law; provided that if the Borrower, the Agent, or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payment, then (i) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower or other Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) by the applicable withholding agent, the Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by the Agent for its account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such required deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. If at any time the Borrower or a Loan Party is required by applicable Requirements of Law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable under any Loan Document, the Borrower or such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant Agent or Lender upon becoming aware of the same.

(b)[Reserved]

(c)[Reserved]

(d)The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(e)The Borrower and each other Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written 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 2.15) payable or paid by such Agent or Lender and any 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 by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by the Borrower or other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower or other Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental

-64-

Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(i) Each Lender that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15(f)(i) above:

(A)Each Lender that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent), two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(B)Each Non-U.S. Lender, shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent), two duly completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to such treaty, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto);

(II)In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that the interest payments in respect of the Term Loans are not effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto); or

(III)To the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, IRS Form W–8IMY, accompanied by a copy of IRS Form W–8ECI, IRS Form W–8BEN, IRS Form W–8BEN–E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W–9, and/or other certification documents from

-65-

each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s); and

(IV)Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) such other duly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(C)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirement of 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 Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subclause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(g), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide.

(iv) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Borrower and other Loan Parties and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.15(f).

(g)If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received and retained a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or other Loan Party or with respect to which the Borrower or such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower or such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender as is determined by the Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, shall repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(g), in no event will any Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 the payment of which would place such Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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 Section 2.15(g) shall not be

-66-

construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person.

SECTION 2.16Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)All proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Term Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.02, shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Borrower, second, ratably, to pay any expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties from the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Term Loans or in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, ratably, fourth, to pay principal on the Term Loans and any amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, ratably, fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Agent or any Lender, and sixth, to the applicable Loan Party or as the Borrower shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to any holder of Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations unless the holder thereof or the Borrower has provided notice to the Agent thereof prior to the date of the applicable payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) and (ii) no amount received on the account of any Collateral of any Loan Party shall be applied to the payment of any Secured Obligations in respect of Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Party.

(b)If, following any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) (but only to the extent that prior to the waiver of such Event of Default an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the Borrower) or an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 occurs), Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the Borrower) or any acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.02, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any fees, principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest and fees on their respective Term Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause (b) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.08(d)) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff, consolidation and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such obligations of such Lender until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.17Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender (or its parent companies) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal or participation) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation 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 cease to apply.

SECTION 2.18[Reserved].

SECTION 2.19Incremental Facilities.

(a)The Borrower may by written notice to the Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional tranches of term loans or new Term Commitments to increase any existing Class of Term Loans (the “New Term Commitments”) in an amount at any time not to exceed (other than in the case of any New Term Commitments with respect to Refinancing Term Loans) the Maximum Incremental Amount at such time and not less than $25.0 million individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the entire remaining availability hereunder). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Term Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Term Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Commitment. Such New Term Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) subject to Section 1.08, no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Commitments, as applicable; (ii) subject to Section 1.08, both before and after giving effect to the making of any New

-68-

Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; and (iii) the New Term Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more supplements or amendments to this Agreement executed and delivered by the Loan Parties, the New Lenders and the Agent. Any New Term Loans (other than any New Term Loans which are designated as an increase in the amount of any previously established Class of Term Loans) made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the obtaining of any New Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the other applicable Loan Parties to, make such amendments to the Collateral Documents and take such other customary actions, if any, as the Agent may reasonably request in order to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations.

(b)[Reserved]

(c)On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Commitments of any Class are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Class shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Commitment of such Class, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Commitment of such Class and the New Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(d)The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable supplement or amendment relating thereto, identical to the existing Term Loans; provided that (i) the final maturity date of the New Term Loans shall be no earlier than (x) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, the Term Loans refinanced therewith and (y) in the case of any other New Term Loans, the Latest Maturity Date, and, in the case of all New Term Loans, the mandatory prepayment provisions applicable to the New Term Loans shall not require that any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 apply to such New Term Loans on a greater basis than ratable basis then outstanding Term Loans, (ii) the optional prepayment provisions, rate of interest and the amortization schedule applicable to any New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable supplement relating thereto; provided that (A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans will be no shorter than (x) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans refinanced, and (y) in the case of any other New Term Loans, the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Class of Term Loans and (B) if the Effective Yield of any New Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) established on any Increased Amount Date occurring on or prior to the twelvesix (126) month anniversary of the Incremental Amendment No. 2 Effective Date exceeds the Effective Yield of the Initial2021 Incremental Term Loans by more than 50100 basis points, the Applicable Rates for the Initial2021 Incremental Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect to such increase, the Effective Yield of the Initial2021 Incremental Term Loans is equal to the Effective Yield of such New Term Loans minus 50100 basis points, (iii) New Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Loan Party and shall be secured only by Collateral on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (iv) all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series that differ from the existing Term Loans shall be no more favorable to the Lenders providing such New Term Loans than those applicable to the Term Loans (taken as a whole) (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latestLatest Maturity Date); provided that if any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans, such provisions shall also be applicable to the Term Loans (except to the extent such financial covenant applies only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date).

-69-

(e) (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans and/or amended to lower the Effective Yield thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so converted and/or extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19(e). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (w) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Class, (x) (A) the interest rate and fee provisions with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different from those applicable to the Term Loans of such Existing Class (and Extended Term Loans may provide for prepayment protection that is different from those applicable to such Existing Class) 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 margins contemplated by the preceding subclause (A), (y) the amendment or supplement to this Agreement providing for such Extended Term Loans may provide for other terms applicable to such Extended Term Loans so long as either (A) such additional terms do not apply until all Term Loans and Term Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans have been repaid, terminated or returned as applicable, (B) such additional terms are less favorable to the holders of the Extended Term Loans than the corresponding Existing Class or (C) such additional terms have been approved by the Required Lenders and (z) the mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans and such Existing Class may be different so long as the proportion (if any) of the proceeds thereof to which such Extended Term Loans are entitled is no greater on a proportionate basis than the portion of such proceeds to which the Existing Class is entitled to receive.

(ii) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Class which it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election (subject to such rounding as the Agent deems expedient). Any Extended Term Loans shall be established on the date set forth in the amendment or supplement to this Agreement entered into by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) (it being understood that by providing an Extension Election, an Extending Lender will agree to be bound thereby).

(f)Each amendment or supplement to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.19 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 opinion of the Agent, to (i) effect the provision of this Section 2.19 or (ii) to the extent the terms and conditions of the New Term Loans are more favorable to the Lenders than comparable terms existing in the Loan Documents, to bring the terms and conditions of the existing Term Loans in line with the terms and conditions of the New Term Loans necessary to achieve fungibility.

-70-

(g)The provisions of this Section 2.19 shall override any provisions of Section 9.02 to the contrary and, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.02(b).

-73-

SECTION 3.12ERISA.

(a)No ERISA Event has occurred and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.

(b)The Borrower represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Effective Date that the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Term Loans.

SECTION 3.13Disclosure.

(a)All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic nature) concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby included in the Information Memorandum or otherwise prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to the Lenders or the Agent in writing in connection with the Transactions on or before the Closing Date (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Agent or such Lenders, as the case may be, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

(b)The Projections and estimates and information of a general economic nature prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its representatives and that have been made available to any Lenders or the Agent in writing in connection with the Transactions on or before the Closing Date (the “Other Information”) (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being understood that actual results may vary materially from the Other Information), and (ii) as of the Closing Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the Borrower.

SECTION 3.14Material Agreements. Neither any Loan Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of its obligations contained in (i) any material agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party evidencing or governing Indebtedness, except where any such default would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15Solvency.

(a)Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property

-74-

of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

(b)The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not intend to incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on or in respect of their Indebtedness.

SECTION 3.16Insurance. As of the Closing Date, all commercial insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

SECTION 3.17Capitalization and Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 3.17 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Borrower of each and all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of each of the Borrower’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.17, and (c) the type of entity of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

SECTION 3.18Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the Collateral Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements required pursuant to Section 4.01(i) and any Mortgages with respect to Mortgaged Properties and with regard to Collateral that is perfected by control, upon delivery of possession or control, which shall be delivered to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except Permitted Liens but only to the extent that such Liens are required to be perfected by the terms of the Loan Documents (including as described in Section 5.11(c)).

SECTION 3.19Labor Disputes. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party currently occurring or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters. Except (i) as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) as set forth on Schedule 3.19, the consummation of the Transactions will

-75-

not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound.

SECTION 3.20Federal Reserve Regulations.

(a)None of the Collateral is Margin Stock.

(b)None of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

SECTION 3.21Anti-Corruption and Sanctions Laws. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees while acting on behalf of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective directors, officers and employees, are in compliance with applicable (i) Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects and (ii) Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in any such Person being designated as a Sanctioned Person.

-76-

individually, a “License Agreement”). No trademark, servicemark, or other IP Right at any time used by any Loan Party which is owned by another Person, or owned by any such Loan Party subject to any security interest, Lien, collateral assignment, pledge or other encumbrance in favor of any Person other than a Secured Party, is fixed to any Inventory, except to the extent either (i) permitted under the term of the License Agreements listed on Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate or (ii) as could not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-84-

Unrestricted Subsidiary and (2) no pledge of any Equity Interests shall be required to the extent such Equity Interests are excluded from the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, Mortgages and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Article IV, as applicable), which are required by law and which the Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents (subject to the limitations with respect to Equity Interests set forth in clause (b) of this Section 5.11, the limitations with respect to real property set forth in clause (f) of this Section 5.11 and any other limitations set forth in the Security Agreement), all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(e)[Reserved].

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11, real property required to be mortgaged under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to each real property located in the United States of America owned in fee by a Loan Party having a fair market value at the time of the acquisition thereof of $10.0 million or more and that does not otherwise constitute an Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) (and provided that the cost of perfecting such Lien is not unreasonable in relation to the benefits to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby in the Agent’s reasonable judgment after consultation with the Borrower).

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11 (or other provision of the Loan Documents) shall not require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of the Loan Parties, or the provision of guarantees by any Subsidiary, if, and for so long as and to the extent that the Agent and the Borrower reasonably agree in writing that the cost of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets, or obtaining such title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables in respect of such assets, or providing such guarantees (taking into account any material adverse Tax consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including the imposition of withholding or other material Taxes)), shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom, (ii) no perfection actions shall be required with respect to vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than the filing of UCC financing statements), (iii) no perfection actions shall be required with respect to any commercial tort claim with a value less than

-85-

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

SECTION8.01The Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent (together with its Affiliates and branches) as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

The Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a holder of Secured Hedging Obligations and Secured Cash Management, as “collateral agent”) and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent 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 Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

-109-

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 Agent.

Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory (including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects) is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the approved electronic communications or the approved electronic platform.

Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agrees that the Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

-110-

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Co-Manager, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Lender or a Related Party of any of the foregoing and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Co-Manager, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Lender or a Related Party of any of the foregoing and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Managers, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to, upon the request of the Borrower, enter into any intercreditor agreement with any agent under any Receivables Facility of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof that are applicable to it thereunder.

SECTION8.02Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the 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 by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders 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 shall vest

-111-

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) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the 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, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

SECTION8.03Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent against, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agent under this Article VIII. The agreements in this Section 8.03 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

-113-

to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Agent is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.01, including through an Electronic System.

SECTION9.02Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by

-114-

law, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of the other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Term Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Term Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder or change the currency in which any such amount is required to be paid, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Term Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans will not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for, or a reduction in the amount of, any prepayment of Term Loans); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.11(c) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (D) change Section 2.16(a) or (b) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (F) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligation under their Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, (G) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 9.02 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender or (H) amend the definition of “Secured Obligations,” “Secured Hedge Obligations,” or “Secured Cash Management Obligations” without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise (x) affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent or (y) make any change to the documents that by its terms affects the rights of any Class of Lenders to receive payments in any manner different than any other Class of Lenders without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of such Class.

(c)The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the Discharge of Obligations, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) subject to clause (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Loan Guarantor from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of

-115-

this Agreement or (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by paragraph (q) of the definition of Permitted Liens (solely as it relates to Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 6.01(b)(vi) or (b)(xxi)) (in each case, to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens) pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Term Loans or Term Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Term Loans or Term Commitments of any other Class) and is not adverse in any material respect to any other Class may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrower, the Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at that time.

(e)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement (or to replace such Non-Consenting Lender from the Class for which consent is being sought); provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Term Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of subclause (b)(ii) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (assuming that the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender have been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender).

(f)If the Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Expenses reimbursable by the Borrower under this Section 9.03 include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(A)lien and title searches and title insurance; and

(B)taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Co-Managers and each Lender, in their capacities as such, 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, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, enforcement or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any actual or alleged Release or threat of Release at, on under or from any facility currently or formerly 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 to any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates) or (iv) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties,

-117-

liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e)Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under clauses (a) and (b) above shall be payable by the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. All amounts due from the Lenders under clause (c) of this Section 9.03 shall be paid promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION9.04Successors 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 (i) except as permitted by Section 6.03 or the definition of “Change of Control,” the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in subclause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment of Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a

-118-

Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default specified in clause (a), (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B)the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Commitment or Term Loans of any Class, the amount of the Term Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $250,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in clause (a), (f), or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B)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; provided that this subclause (ii)(B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Term Commitments or Term Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignment and Assumption shall be required in connection with any purchase and sale of any Term Loans held by any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 9.02(e); and

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

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof or (c) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; provided that, with respect to clause (b), such holding

-119-

company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Term Loans or Term Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 9.04.

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, and solely with respect to its own interests, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.16(b) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (b)(v).

(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the Term 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

-120-

Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in subclauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.16(c) 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 applicable Term 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 Term Commitments, Term Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. 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 Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION9.05Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Term Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Term Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Term Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the

-121-

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Discharge of Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION9.06Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Agency Fee Letter, dated as of June 30, 2017, by and among the Borrower and the Agent, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b)Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

SECTION9.07Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION9.08Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE

-122-

A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.

SECTION 9.19Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.19 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.19, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.19 shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction and discharge of all Guaranteed Obligations. The Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.19 constitute, and this Section 9.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of the Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 9.22Acknowledgment 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):

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

ARTICLE X

LOAN GUARANTY

SECTION10.1Guaranty.

(a)Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by applicable law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree to report consistently therewith that each Loan Guarantor shall be treated as a primary obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations for U.S. federal and state tax purposes.

(b)The Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations that are expressly the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, which Secured Obligations shall continue to be the primary obligations of the Borrower) (collectively the “Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”). The Borrower further agrees that the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.12) shall apply equally to the Borrower as guarantor of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as to the Loan Guarantors as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION10.2Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent or any Lender to xxx the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part

-130-

of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any Collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION10.3No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a)Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b)The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c)Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION10.4Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the

-131-

extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION10.5Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION10.6Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Agent.

SECTION10.7Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION10.8[Reserved].

SECTION10.9Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 10.09 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 10.09 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION10.10Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any

-132-

realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Guarantor Percentage (as defined below) of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION10.11Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION10.12Release of Loan Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary (i) a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (A) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 6.07, (B) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a Receivables Subsidiary in connection with a Receivables Facility otherwise permitted hereunder and such Restricted Subsidiary owns no assets or engages in no activities other than such assets or activities which are the subject of such Receivables Facility or (C) a Loan Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement, then in the case of each of clauses (A), (B) and (C), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the Borrower to the Agent. In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.
