so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, unless and until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein.

Section 1.04    Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

Section 1.05    Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving Advances in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Commitment. Each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Advance) shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Any Swingline Advance shall be made and repaid in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03A.

(b)Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 30 days before the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment, provided that after giving effect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) each Lender’s Ratable Share of the Total Outstandings shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Within the limits referred to above, the Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b). The terms “issue”, “issued”, “issuance” and all similar terms, when applied to a Letter of Credit, shall include any renewal, extension or amendment thereof.

Section 2.02    Making the Revolving Advances.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Advance) shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing or by facsimile in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Revolving Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Revolving Advance. Each Lender shall, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, before

2:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, and in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02 or as requested by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(b)Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (ii) at no time shall there be more than fifteen different Interest Periods outstanding for Eurodollar Rate Advances.

(c)Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Revolving Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of the applicable Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of 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 Share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent within one Business Day after demand for such Lender and within three Business Days after demand for the Borrower 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 Revolving Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

Section 2.03    Letters of Credit.

(a)General.

(i)No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit, if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(ii)No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any

Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital and liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which, in each such case, such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

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

(E)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension; or

(F)any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the applicable Issuing Bank is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Affected Lenders or, if not so covered, until such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it in its sole discretion with the Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Affected Lender, and participating interests in any such newly issued Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Affected Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and Affected Lenders shall not participate therein).

(iii)No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(iv)No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

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

(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, together with agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment

thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Related Documents, as the applicable Issuing Bank or the Agent may require. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Application or other L/C Related Document shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Without limitation of the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent that any such Letter of Credit Application or other L/C Related Document shall impose any additional conditions on the maintenance of a Letter of Credit, any additional default provisions, collateral requirements or other obligations of the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, other than as stated in this Agreement, such additional conditions, provisions, requirements or other obligations shall not have effect so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, except to the extent as expressly agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank.

(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from the Required Lenders, the Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article III shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and any applicable Letter of Credit Application, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Ratable Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension (or may issue a Notice of Non-Extension) if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) by reason of the provisions of clause (i) of Section 2.03(a) (or would have no obligation to issue such Letter of Credit by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 2.03(a)), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension pursuant to Section 6.02 or (2) from the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

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

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)Subject to the provisions below, not later than 2:30 p.m. on the date (the “Honor Date”) that any Issuing Bank makes any payment on a drawing on any Letter of Credit, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such payment prior to 11:30 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:30 p.m. on the next Business Day, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing together with interest thereon. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, unless the Borrower shall have advised the Agent that it does not meet the conditions specified in either clause (B) or (C) below, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01(a) or the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing but subject to (A) the amount of the aggregate Unused Commitments, (B) no Event of Default having occurred and be continuing, or resulting therefrom, and (C) the conditions specified in Sections 3.02(c) and (d) being satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Base Rate Advance and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to satisfy the reimbursement obligation created by such payment by the Issuing Bank on the Honor Date shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Advance. Any notice given by any Issuing Bank or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Ratable Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Advance because any of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of Section 2.03(c)(i) cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, then not later than 2:30 p.m. on the next Business Day after the day notice of the drawing is given to the Borrower, in the case of a failure to meet any such condition, or in any other case, after notice of the event resulting in the outstanding Unreimbursed Amount, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such outstanding Unreimbursed Amount with interest thereon. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank.

(v)Each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or

(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03(c)(i). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Base Rate Advance included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after the applicable Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral (as defined in Section 2.03(h)) applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Ratable Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

(ii)If any payment received by the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 8.12 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Ratable Share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Failure to Make Revolving Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) or any L/C Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Advance or L/C Advance, as the case may be, to be made by such other Lender on such date.

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

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

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

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

(iv)any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.03(f) shall limit the rights of the Borrower under Section 2.03(g).

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity that is known to the Borrower in connection with any draw under such Letter of Credit of which the Borrower has reasonable notice, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Bank. To the extent allowed by applicable Law, Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. Nothing herein shall require the Borrower to make any determination as to whether the drawing is in accordance with the requirements of the Letter of Credit, provided that the Borrower may waive any discrepancies in the drawing on any such Letter of Credit.

(g)Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Related Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(f); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on its face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(h)Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding L/C Obligations. Section 6.02 sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.10(b)(ii), Section 2.19(c) (ii), (iv) and (v) and Section 6.02, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and each Issuing Bank (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders) in an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Agent.

(i)Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Agent on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all such Letters of Credit and (B) to the Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(j)Interim Interest. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c)(ii) with respect to Unreimbursed Amounts refinanced as Base Rate Advances and Section 2.03(c)(iii) with respect to L/C Borrowings, unless the Borrower shall reimburse each payment by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit in full on the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the Honor Date to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such Issuing Bank for the Unreimbursed Amount in full, at the rate per annum equal to (i) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, to but excluding the next Business Day after the Honor Date and (ii) from and including the next Business Day after the Honor Date, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum.

Section 2.03A Swingline Advances.

(a)Amount of Swingline Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender will make Swingline Advances in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Advances exceeding $50,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender) or (ii) the Total Outstandings exceeding the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Advance shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or such greater amounts as agreed between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Advances. The Swingline Lender shall be under no obligation to make a Swingline Advance if any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the Swingline Lender is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Affected Lenders or, if not so covered, until the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it in its sole discretion with the Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Affected Lender, and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Advance shall be allocated among non-Affected Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and Affected Lenders shall not participate therein).

(b)Borrowing Notice and Making of Swingline Advances. To request a Swingline Advance, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender and the Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m. (or such later time as the Swingline Lender may determine in its sole discretion), on the day of such Swingline Advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Advance. The Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent (and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender) and the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Advance available to the Borrower by 2:30 p.m. (or such later time as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower)

on the requested date of such Swingline Advance in a manner agreed upon by the Borrower and the Swingline Lender. Each Swingline Advance shall bear interest at the Base Rate, or, at the option of the Borrower and subject to prior agreement between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender, shall be a Swingline Eurodollar Rate Advance or a Money Market Rate Advance.

(c)Repayment of Swingline Advances. Each Swingline Advance shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the earlier of (x) on or before the fourteenth (14^th) Business Day after the date such Swingline Advance was made by the Swingline Lender or (y) the Termination Date. A Swingline Advance may not be repaid with the proceeds from another Swingline Advance. In addition, the Swingline Lender (i) may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swingline Advance, or (ii) shall, on the fourteenth (14^th) Business Day after the date any Swingline Advance is made and which has not been otherwise repaid, require each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) to make a Revolving Advance in the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Swingline Advance (including, without limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Advance. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.03A(c), each Lender shall make available to the Agent its required Revolving Advance, in immediately available funds in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(a) with respect to Revolving Advances made by such Lender. Revolving Advances made pursuant to this Section 2.03A(c) shall initially be Base Rate Advances and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Advances or converted into Eurodollar Rate Advances in the manner provided in Section 2.09 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03A(c) to repay Swingline Advances shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever. In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.03A(c), the Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Lender fails to make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.03A(c), such Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable Swingline Advance in the amount of such Revolving Advance, and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received.

(d) Swingline Advances Reports. The Swingline Lender shall furnish to the Agent on each Business Day a written report summarizing outstanding Swingline Advances made by the Swingline Lender and the due date for the repayment of such Swingline Advances; provided that if no Swingline Advances are outstanding, no such report shall be required to be delivered.

(e) Successor Swingline Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender as provided in this paragraph, the Borrower may, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice to the Agent and the Lenders, replace the existing Swingline Lender with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Swingline Lender hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the replaced Swingline Lender, and the replaced Swingline Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Swingline Lender shall be as agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Swingline Lender’s replacement hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Swingline Lender.

Section 2.04    Fees.

(a)Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on such Lender’s Unused Commitment (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, and without

duplication, such Lender’s Unused Commitment shall be calculated exclusive of such Lender’s Swingline Exposure and, if such Lender is the Swingline Lender, without giving effect to the Swingline Advances, and in no event shall the aggregate of such commitment fees exceed an amount calculated based on the product of (a) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments minus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Advances and aggregate L/C Obligations and (b) the Applicable Rate for commitment fees) from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for commitment fees in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 30, 2015, and on the Termination Date, provided that no commitment fee shall accrue with respect to the Unused Commitment of an Affected Lender so long as such Lender shall be an Affected Lender.

(b)Letter of Credit Fees.

i.The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time, during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and on the Termination Date; provided that the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be 2% above such Applicable Rate in effect upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default if the Borrower is required to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b).

ii.The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the applicable Fee Letter between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank, and such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor.

(c)Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter between the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 2.05    Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

(d)The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Unused Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(e)So long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least ten Business Days’ notice to an Affected Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and, if applicable, its Letter of Credit Commitment, without affecting the Commitments of any other Lender. Such termination shall be effective, (x) with respect to such Lender’s Unused Commitment, on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall be no earlier than ten Business Days after receipt of such notice and (y) with respect to each Revolving Advance outstanding to such Lender, in the case of Base Rate Advances, on the date set forth in such notice and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to such Revolving Advance. Upon termination of a Lender’s Commitments under this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower will pay or cause to be paid all principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Revolving Advances (and if such Lender is the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Advances) owing to such Lender and, subject to Section 2.19, pay any accrued commitment fees or Letter of Credit fees payable to such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04, and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder (including, but not limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under Section 2.11 and any indemnification for Taxes under Section 2.14); and, if such Lender is an Issuing Bank, shall pay to such Issuing Bank for deposit in an escrow account an amount equal to the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such

Issuing Bank, whereupon all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have been issued outside of this Agreement on a bilateral basis and shall cease for all purposes to constitute a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement, and upon such payments, except as otherwise provided below, the obligations of such Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, Section 8.04(c), and its obligations under Section 8.04 and 8.08, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof, shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date and (ii) such escrow agreement shall be in a form reasonably agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank, but in no event shall either the Borrower or such Issuing Bank require any waivers, covenants, events of default or other provisions that are more restrictive than or inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.18, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) may not be reinstated. The termination of the Commitments of an Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) will not be deemed to be a waiver of any right that the Borrower, the Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against the Affected Lender that arose prior to the date of such termination. Upon any such termination, the Ratable Share of each remaining Lender will be revised.

Section 2.06    Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Advances made by such Lender and then outstanding. The Borrower shall repay Swingline Advances in accordance with Section 2.03A(c).

Section 2.07    Interest on Advances.

(a)Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

i.Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

ii.Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Revolving Advance plus (y) the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

iii.Swingline Advances. During such period as such Swingline Advance remains outstanding, the Base Rate or, as agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower, the Money Market Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, payable on the date such Swingline Advance is required to be repaid.

(b)Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent.

(c)Interest Rate Limitation. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount, provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.

Section 2.08    Interest Rate Determination.

(a)The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a).

(b)If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance or a Conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Advance, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Revolving Advance, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor Convert into a Base Rate Advance. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such request into a request for a Base Rate Advance in the amount specified therein.

(c)If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Revolving Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(d)On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Revolving Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(e)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,

i.with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances, each such Revolving Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Revolving Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance); and

ii.the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

Section 2.09    Optional Conversion of Revolving Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Revolving Advances of one Type comprising the

same Borrowing into Revolving Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that (a) any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, (b) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b), (c) no Conversion of any Revolving Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b) and (d) no Swingline Advances may be converted. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Revolving Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

Section 2.10    Prepayments of Advances.

(a)Optional. At any time and from time to time, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Advance, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (y) below), upon notice at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment in the case of Base Rate Advances and Swingline Advances, to the Agent (and, in the case of prepayment a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender) specifying the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount and Type of the Advance to be prepaid (and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Interest Period of the Borrowing pursuant to which made); provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(e).

(b)Mandatory.

(i)The Borrower shall prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Advances, together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, without requirement of demand therefor, or shall pay or prepay any other Indebtedness then outstanding at any time, when and to the extent required to comply with applicable Laws of any Governmental Authority, including the 2013 Order and/or any Subsequent Order, or applicable resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower.

(ii)If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice thereof, prepay Advances and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Advances, the Total Outstandings exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

Section 2.11    Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.11(e)) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

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

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

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital and liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

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

(e)Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Revolving Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Eurodollar Rate Advance, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 2.12    Illegality. If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any applicable Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged

with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), makes it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Base Rate Advances to Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, Convert all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted.

Section 2.13    Payments and Computations.

(a)All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.20 or 8.04(e)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b)All computations of interest based on (i) the Prime rate (as defined in the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.01) shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, the Eurodollar Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, 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, fees or commissions are payable. Interest on Swingline Advances shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days or such other basis agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower, 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 is payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or commissions, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders 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 Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If

and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.14    Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

i.Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower or the Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

ii.If the Borrower or the Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States of America Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c)Tax Indemnifications.

i.Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Agent or paid by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

ii. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall, within 30 days after demand therefor, severally (A) indemnify the Agent for (x) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) for any Excluded Taxes attributable to

such Lender or such Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and (B) indemnify the Borrower and the Agent against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to subsection (e). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender or the Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d)Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

i.Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

ii.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America,

1.any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

2.each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

a.executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

b.executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8ECI,

c.executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

d.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or

e.executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States of America Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

iii.Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

iv.If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to each of 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 law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue 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 that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)

to the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)Payments. Failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of the Agent’s, such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority more than three months prior to the date that the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, claims compensation with respect thereto (except that, if a Change in Law giving rise to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(h)Each of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request made by the Borrower in respect of a claim of a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 if (i) the Borrower has agreed in writing to pay all of the Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such claim, (ii) the Agent or such Issuing Bank or such Lender determines, in its good faith judgment, that it would not be disadvantaged, unduly burdened or prejudiced as a result of such claim and (iii) the Borrower furnishes, upon request of the Agent, or such Issuing Bank or such Lender, an opinion of tax counsel (such opinion, which can be reasoned, and such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to such Lender, or such Issuing Bank or the Agent) that the Borrower is likely to receive a refund or credit.

Section 2.15    Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances or L/C Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.20 or 8.04(e) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof if permitted hereby (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall apply) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (for cash at face value) such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.16    Evidence of Debt.

(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.

(b)The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

Section 2.17    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to refinance Indebtedness of the Borrower from time to time and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower, subject to such restrictions that are imposed in the 2013 Order and/or any Subsequent Order.

Section 2.18    Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the Termination Date (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceed $700,000,000 or the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 shall be satisfied.

(b)The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. Each Increasing Lender shall be subject to such applicable consents as may be required under Section 8.07(b)(iii) (including, but not limited to, the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender).

(c)Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000.

(d)On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by the amount by which the Increasing Lender agreed to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the next to last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

i.(A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement, (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and (C) a certificate from a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, stating that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b) are satisfied;

ii.an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Agent, the Borrower and each other Person required to consent thereto, as applicable under Section 8.07(b)(iii); and

iii.confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 p.m., by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s Ratable Share of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing Lender’s Ratable Share of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s Ratable Share of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Agent’s receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

Section 2.19    Affected Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes an Affected Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is an Affected Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the Unused Commitment of such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a);

(b)the Revolving Credit Commitment and Advances of such Affected Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any

amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01), other than any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or of each Lender affected;

(c)if (x) there shall be any Available Amount under any outstanding Letter of Credit or (y) any Swingline Exposure shall exist during any time a Lender is an Affected Lender, then:

(i)so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the Available Amount of all such Letters of Credit and Swingline Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Affected Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (disregarding any Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that with respect to each non-Affected Lender the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Advances made by such non-Affected Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) and outstanding at such time plus (B) such non-Affected Lender’s Ratable Share (after giving effect to the reallocation contemplated in this Section 2.19(c)(i)) of the outstanding L/C Obligations plus (C) such non-Affected Lender’s Ratable Share (after giving effect to the reallocation contemplated in this Section 2.19(c)(i)) of the outstanding Swingline Exposure, does not exceed such non-Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such unallocable Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Affected Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) (the “Affected Lender Share”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(h) for so long as such there shall be any Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit;

(iii)if the Ratable Share of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and the Swingline Exposure of the non-Affected Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Affected Lenders’ Ratable Shares;

(iv)if any Affected Lender Share is not reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above and if the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any portion of such Affected Lender Share pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the fee payable under Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Affected Lender Share shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Affected Lender Share is reallocated; and

(v)if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of any Affected Lender Share pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) or the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii) (solely with respect to any fronting fee) with respect to such Affected Lender’s Affected Lender Share during the period such Affected Lender’s Affected Lender Share is Cash Collateralized;

(d)to the extent the Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of an Affected Lender under this Agreement, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that the Agent use such payment or other amount to fulfill such Affected Lender’s previously unsatisfied obligations to fund a Revolving Advance under Section 2.03(c) or Section 2.03A(c) or L/C Advance or any other unfunded payment obligation of such Affected Lender under this Agreement; and

(e)for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Agent and each other Lender shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Affected Lender.

In the event that the Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks each agrees that an Affected Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender, then the Ratable Shares of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and

on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Ratable Share. In addition, at such time as the Affected Lender is replaced by another Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Ratable Shares of the Lenders will be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of the replacing Lender’s Commitment in accordance with Section 2.20. In either such case, this Section 2.19 will no longer apply.

Section 2.20    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, 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 2.14, or if any Lender is an Affected Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (which any such assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 8.07(b);

(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Advances and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.04(e)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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 2.21    Extension of Termination Date

(a)The Borrower may at any time from time to time not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not later than 10 Business Days prior to the date on which the Lenders are requested to respond thereto (each such date, a “Lender Notice Date”), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which such extension occurs, an “Extension Date”) such Lender’s Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Termination Date”).

(b)Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than the applicable Lender Notice Date, advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Termination Date.

(c)The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section.

(d)The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 8.07, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.07, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Revolving Credit Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder on such date).

After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Deposit Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower.

Except as set forth in Section 7.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 7.02    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 6.01 and Section 8.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.06    Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the

consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).

(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent and agreed to by the Borrower, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Banks pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, has notified the Agent and the Borrower that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent and the Borrower otherwise agree, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make materials delivered to the Agent pursuant to Sections 5.01(h)(i), (ii) and (iv), as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(d)Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail, facsimile or mail. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(e)The Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Communications that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall

appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Communications as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States of America federal and state securities laws; (y) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to xxxx any Communications “PUBLIC.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower and the Agent need not provide to any Public Lender any information, notice, or other document hereunder that is not public information, including without limitation, the Notice of Borrowing and any notice of Default.

Section 8.03    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Article VI for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Issuing Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 8.05 (subject to the terms of Section 2.15), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to Article VI and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.15, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 8.04    Costs and Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm acting as counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

(b)The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Arranger, the Syndication Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory), (i) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any Advance or Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor

a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent (a) such fees and expenses are expressly stated in this Agreement to be payable by the Indemnified Party, included expenses payable under Section 2.14, Section 5.01(e) and Section 8.07(b) or (b) such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in which case any fees and expenses previously paid or advanced by the Borrower to such Indemnified Party in respect of such indemnified obligation will be returned by such Indemnified Party. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, provided that if the Borrower and such Indemnified Party are adverse parties in any such litigation or proceeding, and the Borrower prevails in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, any amounts under this Section 8.04(b) previously paid or advanced by the Borrower to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) will be returned by such Indemnified Party.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

(d)Without limiting the rights of indemnification of the Indemnified Parties set forth in this Agreement with respect to liabilities asserted by third parties, each party hereto also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the other parties hereto, or any Related Party of any party hereto, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including Intralinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e)If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08(d) or (e), 2.10 or 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Revolving Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Revolving Advance.

(f)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.02(c), 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

Section 8.05    Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or Issuing Bank, whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 8.06    Effectiveness; Binding Effect. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, 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 Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void).

Section 8.07    Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender (and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than to an Ineligble Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, Swingline Exposure and the Revolving Advances (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to which such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Advances, L/C Obligations, Swingline Exposure or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned, and each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swingline Lender, if any, (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under Swingline Advances (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made at the request of the Borrower to an existing Lender. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)No Assignment to Ineligible Institutions. No such assignment shall be made to any Ineligible Institution.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section and notice thereof to the Borrower, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the

benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Agent shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than an Ineligible Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, Swingline Exposure and/or the Revolving Advances (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) 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, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, any Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification addressing the matters set forth in clause (iv) above to the extent subject to such participation. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04(e) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the 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 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 Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement 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.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written

consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)Resignation as an Issuing Bank after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Advances pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank. If any Issuing Bank resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).

(h)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 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.

Section 8.08    Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Borrower furnished to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that each of the Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors having a need to know in connection with this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.08, (A) to any assignee or participant or prospective assignee or participant, (B) to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement and (C) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its Obligations, (vii) to the extent such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.08 by the Agent or such Lender or their Related Parties, or (B) is or becomes available to the Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower (provided that the source of such information was not known by the recipient after inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other Person with respect to such information) and (viii) with the consent of the Borrower. The obligations under this Section 8.08 shall survive for two calendar years after the date of the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.09    Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York.

Section 8.10    Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.

Section 8.11    Jurisdiction, Etc.

(a)Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such federal court. Except to the extent expressly set forth in the preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 8.12    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.13    Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower (including the Borrower), guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
