THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 8, 2020, is entered into by and among INVITATION HOMES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as Borrower, the LENDERS party hereto, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

The Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, are parties to that certain Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2017 (as amended or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

The parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, but not as a novation, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Existing Credit Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended and restated in its entirety as follows, effective on and as of the Effective Date (as defined below):

ARTICLE I

Definitions

SECTION 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

“Administrative Agent” means Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, and any successor thereto appointed pursuant to Article VIII.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

“Affected Financial Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution, or (b) any UK Financial Institution.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

“Agent Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.01(d).

“Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Applicable Pricing Grid” means (i) as of the Effective Date and continuing until the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate – Leverage, and (ii) from and after the first Business Day following the date on which the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate – Rating.

“Applicable Rate” means, (i) as of the Effective Date and continuing until the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the Applicable Rate – Leverage, and (ii) from and after the first Business Day following the date on which the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the Applicable Rate – Rating. Such Investment Grade Election and the application of the Applicable Rate – Rating shall be irrevocable once made.

“Applicable Rate – Leverage” means, for any day, with respect to each Type and Class of Loan, as the case may be, the number of basis points determined by the range into which the Total Leverage Ratio then falls in the table below:


Level	Total Leverage Ratio	Revolving Loan:		Term Loan:
		Eurodollar Loans and Daily Floating Rate Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Base Rate Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Eurodollar Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Base Rate Loans -Applicable Rate (bps)
Level I	<35%	150	50	145	45
Level II	>35% and <40%	160	60	155	55
Level III	>40% and <45%	170	70	165	65
Level IV	>45% and <50%	185	85	180	80
Level V	>50% and <55%	200	100	195	95
Level VI	>55%	215	115	215	115

For purposes of this definition, any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate - Leverage resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered in accordance with Section 5.01(c); provided, however, that if such Compliance Certificate is not delivered within thirty (30) days after notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower notifying the Borrower of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate on the date when due in accordance with Section 5.01(c), then the Applicable Rate - Leverage shall be the number of basis points that would apply to Level VI of the table set forth in this definition above and it shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered. The Applicable Rate - Leverage

from the Effective Date until the delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 shall be based on Level III.

If at any time the Financial Statements upon which the Applicable Rate - Leverage was determined were incorrect (whether based on a restatement, fraud or otherwise), the Borrower shall be required to retroactively pay (or, if applicable, the Lenders will be required to credit against the next interest payment(s) due from the Borrower hereunder), promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank), any additional amount that the Borrower would have been required to pay (or, if applicable, should not have paid) if such Financial Statements had been accurate at the time they were delivered.

During any applicable Sustainability Adjustment Period, the Applicable Rate - Leverage set forth in the above table for Revolving Loans shall be decreased by the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment (if any) in effect during such Sustainability Adjustment Period; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Rate be less than zero.

“Applicable Rate – Rating” means, for any day, with respect to each Type and Class of Loan, as the case may be, the number of basis points determined by the range into which the Debt Rating then falls in the table below:


Level	Debt Rating (S&P / Fitch / Xxxxx’x )	Revolving Loan:			Term Loan:
		Eurodollar Loans and Daily Floating Rate Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Base Rate Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate (bps)	Eurodollar Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)	Base Rate Loans - Applicable Rate (bps)
Level I	Greater than or equal to A / A / A2	75.0	0.0	10.0	80.0	0.0
Level II	A- / A- / A3	77.5	0.0	12.5	85.0	0.0
Level III	BBB+ / BBB+ / Baa1	82.5	0.0	15.0	90.0	0.0
Level IV	BBB / BBB / Baa2	90.0	0.0	20.0	100.0	0.0
Xxxxx X	XXX- / XXX- / Xxx0	000.0	10.0	25.0	125.0	25.0
Level VI	Lower than BBB- by S&P and Baa3by Xxxxx’x (or unrated by S&P and Xxxxx’x)	145.0	45.0	30.0	165.0	65.0

If at any time when the Borrower has only two (2) Debt Ratings, and such Debt Ratings are split, then: (i) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the higher of the Debt Ratings shall apply; and (ii) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is two or more ratings categories (e.g. Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Debt Rating that is one category lower than the higher of the applicable Debt Ratings shall apply. If at any time the Borrower has three (3) Debt Ratings, and such Debt Ratings are split, then: (i) if the difference between the highest and the lowest such Debt Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the highest of the Debt Ratings shall apply; and (iii) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is two or more ratings categories (e.g. Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the average of the two (2) highest Debt Ratings shall apply, provided that if such average is not a recognized rating category, then the second highest Debt Rating of the three shall apply.

During any period that the Borrower has no Debt Ratings or only one (1) Debt Rating from Fitch, the Applicable Rate - Rating and the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be based on a rating of less than BBB-/Baa3 in the above grid.

If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the Applicable Rate - Rating or the Revolving Credit Facility Fee and if such increase is reversed and the affected Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at the Borrower’s request, the Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Loans and the differential on the Revolving Credit Facility Fee during such period of downgrade or discontinuance.

If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Loans and the differential on the Revolving Credit Facility Fee during such period of upgrade.

During any applicable Sustainability Adjustment Period, the Applicable Rate - Rating set forth in the above table for Revolving Loans shall be decreased by the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment (if any) in effect during such Sustainability Adjustment Period; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Rate be less than zero.

“Applicable Sustainability Adjustment” means, for any Sustainability Adjustment Period (beginning with the Sustainability Adjustment Period commencing in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021), determined by reference to the Sustainability Rating Change or Sustainability Rating, as applicable, reported in the Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01(c) for the immediately preceding fiscal year (a “Reference Year”):

(a) if (i) the Sustainability Rating Change for such Reference Year shall be equal to or greater than five percent (5.0%) or (ii) the Sustainability Rating for such Reference Year shall be equal to or greater than 96, the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment for such Sustainability Adjustment Period shall be a one basis point reduction in the Applicable Rates set forth in the Applicable Pricing Grid; and

(b) if (i) the Sustainability Rating Change for such Reference Year shall be less than five percent (5.0%) or (ii) the Borrower shall have elected in its sole discretion to not report a Sustainability Rating Adjustment in the applicable Compliance Certificate, the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment for such Sustainability Adjustment Period shall be zero and there shall be no Applicable Sustainability Adjustment to the Applicable Rates set forth in the Applicable Pricing Grid; provided that this clause (b) shall not apply if the Sustainability Rating Change for such Reference Year cannot be determined due to the occurrence of any event described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of clause (i) of the following proviso;

provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) if (A) GRESB fails or is no longer able to issue a Sustainability Rating, or otherwise delays the issuance of a Sustainability Rating without the consent of the Borrower, (B) GRESB notifies the Borrower, or makes an announcement to the effect, that it will no longer issue a Sustainability Rating, or (C) the scoring methodologies or other basis upon which the Sustainability Rating is determined shall materially change from the methodologies and basis for the determination of the Sustainability Rating in effect for the Reference Year ending December 31, 2019, then in any such case,

(x) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may request that negotiations be entered into between the

Borrower and the Sustainable Agent (for a period of no more than 30 consecutive days, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders)) with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining a Sustainability Rating;

(y) during any such negotiation period, the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment with respect to the applicable Sustainability Adjustment Period shall be determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this definition above, based on the Sustainability Rating Change or Sustainability Rating, as applicable, that was in effect and applied immediately prior to the date on which such negotiation period commenced;

(z) if no agreement can be reached between the Borrower and the Sustainable Agent during such negotiation period, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment shall be determined pursuant to clause (b) of this definition above and shall apply to the Applicable Rates from and after the last day of such negotiation period;

(ii) until the delivery of the Compliance Certificate delivered in respect of the Reference Year ending December 31, 2020 pursuant to Section 5.01(c), the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment shall be zero and there shall be no Applicable Sustainability Adjustment to the Applicable Rates set forth in the Applicable Pricing Grid; and

(iii) the Borrower may elect to deliver to the Administrative Agent a revised Compliance Certificate for any Reference Year reflecting a revised Sustainability Rating Change or Sustainability Rating, as applicable, and commencing on the Business Day immediately following the date of delivery of such revised Compliance Certificate through the end of such Sustainability Adjustment Period, such revised Sustainability Rating Change or Sustainability Rating as applicable, shall apply.

“Approved Counterparty” means (a) the Administrative Agent, Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Lender at the time it entered into a Lender Hedge Agreement, in its capacity as a party thereto, in each case notwithstanding whether such Approved Counterparty ceases to be the Administrative Agent, Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Lender after entering into such Lender Hedge Agreement, and (b) any other Person from time to time approved in writing by the Administrative Agent; provided that, in the case of a Lender Hedge Agreement with a Person who is no longer a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender), such Person shall be considered an Approved Counterparty only through the stated termination date (without extension or renewal) of such Lender Hedge Agreement; provided further that for any of the foregoing to be included as a “Lender Hedge Agreement” on any date of determination by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Approved Counterparty (other than the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) must have delivered a Designation Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to such date of determination.

SECTION 2.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans in dollars to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make Term Loans (other than New Term Loans) in dollars to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and not to exceed $2,500,000,000 in the aggregate for all Term Loan Lenders, on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term Loan”). Any portion of the Term Loans that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Term Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, and each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans, in each case, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. So long as doing so would not result in any increased costs for which the Borrower would be responsible under Section 2.15, each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight (8) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans or ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to another, and each continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Borrowing Request; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request. Each such Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans or (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (including any Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e)) or Daily Floating Rate Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate Revolving Loans to Daily Floating Rate Loans or of any conversion of Daily Floating Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period other than one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.

Each Revolving Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each Revolving Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided that (i) any Borrowing need not comply with the foregoing integral multiple requirements if the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be used to repay Indebtedness as long as such Borrowing is in an amount equal to the amount being repaid, and (ii) a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e). Each Term Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each Term Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that a Term Borrowing of Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Term Loan Commitments.

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Request or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans and the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Daily Floating Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower requests a

Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such Borrowing Request, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of any requested Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable, described in Section 2.03(a).

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no Loans may be requested under such Facility as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) no outstanding Loan under such Facility may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

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 expiration date not later than the date permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, that such Issuing Bank shall not (i) permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (except that the expiration date may be extended to a date that is no more than one year from the then-current expiration date) or (B) it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (ii) be obligated to permit such extension if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is not more than twelve (12) months after the Revolving Maturity Date so long as (x) the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.06(j) on or prior to thirty (30) days before the Revolving Maturity Date in an amount equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the LC Exposure with respect to all such Letters of Credit with expiry dates after the Revolving Maturity Date, (y) the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.06 in respect of such Letters of Credit shall survive the Revolving Maturity Date and shall remain in effect until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding and (z) each Lender shall remain obligated hereunder, to the extent any such cash collateral, the application thereof or reimbursement in respect thereof is required to be returned to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent after the Revolving Maturity Date until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby

grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit, such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, 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 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender's Revolving Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.04, as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative 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 2.06(e), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the applicable 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 Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or such Lender’s payment made pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 2.06(e) in respect of the relevant LC Disbursement, as the case may be. A certificate of any Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a 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, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit under a 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 applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event, (iv) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), 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, (v) waiver by any Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Bank's protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower; (vi) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit required that demand be in the form of a draft; (vii) any payment made by any Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; or (viii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against each Issuing

Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (i) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (ii) an Issuing Bank declining to take-up documents and make payment (A) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor or (B) following the Borrower’s waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents or (iii) an Issuing Bank retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such Issuing Bank.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank issuing a Letter of Credit shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that, if the

Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Removal and Addition of an Issuing Bank.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be removed as an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, including the Issuing Bank being removed. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such removal of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such removal shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the removed Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(c). After the removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, (i) the removed Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such removed Issuing Bank as the context shall require.

(ii) A Lender may be added as an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lender becoming an Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such addition of an Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such addition, (i) the new Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such new Issuing Bank as the context shall require.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (B) required by Section 2.06(c), the Borrower shall deposit in an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the satisfaction of the LC Exposure. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank ratably (based on the unreimbursed LC Disbursements held by each Issuing Bank) for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the

total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by such Issuing Bank (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and issuer documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower. The Borrower irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly, but in no event later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, either by (i) crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case, in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon New York City time on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

SECTION 2.08 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) (i) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate following disbursement of the Term Loans on the Effective Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under a particular Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.09 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under a particular Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(b) 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 Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in substantially the form of Exhibit D. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender one or more promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein, unless such assignee elects not to receive a Note (in which case such assignor shall return to the Borrower any Note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form) (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.16), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.11.

(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating Rate Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, a Notice of Loan Prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to the prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02. Subject to Section 2.20, each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the applicable Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. Any portion of the Term Loan that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand prepay Loans and/or cash collateralize the LC Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to cash collateralize the LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) At all times prior to the date on which an effective Investment Grade Election is made, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, an unused facility fee (the “Revolving Facility Unused Fee”), computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, which Revolving Facility Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date the Revolving Commitments terminate. All Revolving Facility Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) On and after the date on which an effective Investment Grade Election is made, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a revolving credit facility fee (the “Revolving Credit Facility Fee”), equal to the Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate multiplied by the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender (regardless of usage and provided that if the Revolving Commitments terminate, then the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall continue to accrue and be determined based on the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Revolving Lender) during the period for which payment is made, which Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after an effective Investment

Grade Election is made, and on the date the Revolving Commitments terminate (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). All Revolving Credit Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) During such time as any LC Exposure exists, the Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the actual daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, a fronting fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall accrue interest through and including the last day of each calendar quarter and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date on which LC Exposure exists; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to any Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for its own account or for distribution to the applicable Lenders, as the case may be. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Each Daily Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, at the option of the Required Lenders, all overdue Obligations (which shall include all Obligations following an acceleration under Section 7.01, including an automatic acceleration) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, two percent (2%) plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan or a Daily Floating Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Bankruptcy Event.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans and Borrowings the interest on which is computed by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”) shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(g) In the event that the Borrower achieves an Investment Grade Rating and makes the Investment Grade Election, then the Applicable Rate and the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be based on the Applicable Rate – Rating as of the first Business Day following the date on which the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election. Once effectively made, the Investment Grade Election shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or a request for or conversion to a Daily Floating Rate Loan, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan or, in the case of a Daily Floating Rate Loan, the applicable amount thereof for terms equal to one (1) month, or (B) (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate in connection with any existing or proposed Daily Floating Rate Loan and (y) the circumstances described in Section 2.14(c)(i) do not apply (in each case with respect to this clause (i),

“Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate with respect to an existing or proposed Daily Floating Rate Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Loan or Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or to make or maintain Daily Floating Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended (in the case of Eurodollar Loans, to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of Section 2.14(a), until the Administrative Agent upon 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 Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, Daily Floating Rate Loans or, in each case, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and all outstanding Daily Floating Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 2.14(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.14(a), (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR with respect to Eurodollar Loans for any Interest Period hereunder or any other tenors of LIBOR or with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans for terms equal to one (1) month, including, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such

statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such administrator has made a public statement announcing that interest periods of one (1) month and all other tenors of LIBOR are no longer representative with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans or all Interest Periods and other tenors of LIBOR are no longer representative with respect to Eurodollar Loans; or

(iv) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.14, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;

then, in the case of clauses (i)-(iii) above, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “LIBOR Replacement Date”), which date shall be with respect to Eurodollar Loans, at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans, on the relevant interest payment date for interest calculated, and shall occur reasonably promptly upon the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, LIBOR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “LIBOR Successor Rate”; and any such rate before giving effect to the Related Adjustment, the “Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate”):

(x) Term SOFR plus the Related Adjustment; and

(y) SOFR plus the Related Adjustment;

and in the case of clause (iv) above, the Borrower and Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR Successor Rate” and such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have notified all Lenders and the Borrower of the occurrence of the circumstances described in clause (iv) above unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate pursuant to such clause;

provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available, is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent and would have been identified as the Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate in accordance with the foregoing if it had been so available at the time that the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect was so identified, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower (and in the case of Daily Floating Rate Loans only, the Borrower provides written consent) and each Lender of such availability, then from and after with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated and with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans, the relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Pre-

Adjustment Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR and the LIBOR Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the relevant Related Adjustment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of (x) any occurrence of any of the events, periods or circumstances under clauses (i) through (iii) above, (y) a LIBOR Replacement Date and (z) the LIBOR Successor Rate.

Any LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any LIBOR Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the LIBOR Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

If the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.14(c)(i)-(iii) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect, then the successor rate thereto shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR Successor Rate.”

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) after any such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice described under Section 2.14(c)(i)-(iii), as applicable, if the Administrative Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available on or prior to the LIBOR Replacement Date, (ii) if the events or circumstances described in Section 2.14(c)(iv) have occurred but none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, or (iii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.14(c)(i)-(iii) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect and the Administrative Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR or any then current LIBOR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.14 with respect to Eurodollar Loans, at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, and with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans, at the end of any relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any Related Adjustments and any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a LIBOR Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become

effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(e) If, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, and with respect to Daily Floating Rate Loans, at the end of any relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clauses (c) or (d) of this Section 2.14 and the circumstances under clauses (c)(i) or (c)(iii) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans based on LIBOR shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, until the LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clauses (c) or (d). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods) or Daily Floating Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Daily Floating Rate Loans, interest payment dated or payment periods), as applicable, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.15(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 (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

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

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

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s 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 Loans 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) 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 paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive 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 thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 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 this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days 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; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) 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, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan and each Daily Floating Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees that amounts claimed under this Section 2.15 shall be reasonably determined by such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.15 after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant); provided that in no event shall any Lender be required to disclose information of other borrowers.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last

day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of anticipated profits, but including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) and any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing; provided that each such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any such loss, cost and expense in accordance with Section 2.19. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, including, if requested by the Borrower, in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such compensation and a calculation of such amount or amounts (but excluding any confidential or proprietary information of such Lender), shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Free of Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

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

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

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

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

2.executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

3.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

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

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

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

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set off or counterclaim (but without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights with respect to any Defaulting Lender). Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon or fees, as the case may be. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Bank of America, N.A. Agency Management, 000 X. XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Mail Code: IL4-135-09-61, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx, or by wire transfer to the following unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent:

Bank of America, N.A., ABA#: ***

except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans (other than New Term Loans) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this

Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of cash collateral provided for in Section 2.23, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.22, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.22, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If (w) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (x) if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (y) if any Lender becomes Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Lender has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification,

waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 9.02, requires the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, and, in each case under clauses (w) and (x), such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank) if such assignee is not a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) subject to the Borrower’s rights with respect to Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.20 hereof, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.16) 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), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in or elimination of such compensation or payments, (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, (v) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04(b) and (vi) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.19 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, (i) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)Revolving Facility Unused Fees and Revolving Credit Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b);

(b)the Commitments, Term Loan Exposure and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Required Facility Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that (i) no Defaulting Lender’s Commitments may be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or LC Disbursements may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to a Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(c)if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving 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 to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.12(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees payable under Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to any

Issuing Bank ratably (based on the LC Exposure then held by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, amend, increase or renew any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be one hundred percent (100%) covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.23; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.23; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure of, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure of, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.20(c)(i). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase

any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

SECTION 2.21 Extensions of Maturity Dates.

(a)Extension of Revolving Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have two (2) options (which shall be binding on the Lenders), exercisable by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice, a “Revolving Extension Notice”) given no more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to (i) the Initial Revolving Maturity Date, to extend the Revolving Maturity Date for a period of six (6) months from the Initial Revolving Maturity Date (such new Revolving Maturity Date, the “First Extended Revolving Maturity Date”) and (ii) the First Extended Revolving Maturity Date, to extend the Revolving Maturity Date for an additional period of six (6) months from the First Extended Revolving Maturity Date to the Final Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute each Revolving Extension Notice promptly to the Revolving Lenders following its receipt thereof.

(b)Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have two (2) options (which shall be binding on the Lenders), exercisable by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice, a “Term Loan Extension Notice”) given no more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to (i) the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date for a period of six (6) months from the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (such new Term Loan Maturity Date, the “First Extended Term Loan Maturity Date”) and (ii) the First Extended Term Loan Maturity Date, to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date for an additional period of six (6) months from the First Extended Term Loan Maturity Date to the Final Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute each Term Loan Extension Notice promptly to the Term Loan Lenders following its receipt thereof.

(c)Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of each Extension. As conditions precedent to each extension of the Revolving Maturity Date and each extension of the Term Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the then applicable Maturity Date, satisfy each of the following requirements for such extension to become effective (in each case, the first date on which such conditions precedent are satisfied or waived with respect to the applicable extension, the “Extension Effective Date” for such extension): (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the applicable Extension Effective Date; (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the applicable Extension Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer thereof, certifying that, (x) before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower in any Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on the applicable Extension Effective Date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) or are qualified by materiality (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted under the Loan Documents and (y) the resolutions delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Effective Date (which

resolutions include approval to extend each of the Revolving Maturity Date and the Term Loan Maturity Date to at least the Final Maturity Date) are and remain in full force and effect and have not been modified, rescinded or superseded since the date of adoption; and (iii) the Borrower shall have paid an extension fee of 0.075% (7.5 basis points) multiplied by (x) in the case of an extension of the Revolving Maturity Date, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments on the applicable Extension Effective Date (to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders) and (y) in the case of an extension of the Term Loan Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Lenders’ Term Loans on the applicable Extension Effective Date (to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan Lenders).

SECTION 2.22 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, 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, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.23 Cash Collateral.

(a)Obligation to Cash Collateralize. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall cash collateralize the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.20(c)(i) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative

Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property, in each case, so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.23(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the minimum amount required by this Agreement, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (determined in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to clause (a) above, after giving effect to Section 2.20(c)(i) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of cash collateral.

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under any of this Section 2.23 or Sections 2.06, 2.20 or 7.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letters of Credit, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Release. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to secure LC Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.04(b)(ii)(E))) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, the Person providing cash collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated LC Exposure or other obligations.

(B)the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower in any Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and

as of the date of such release and immediately after giving effect to such release except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) or are qualified by materiality (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted under the Loan Documents.

(d) Instruments of Release. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Borrower and without the need for any consent or approval by the Lenders, promptly execute and deliver an instrument of release to evidence any release of Guaranty described in this Section 5.09 in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Parent Guaranty. If any Parent Guaranty Event occurs, then, each of the Parent Entities shall become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent within forty-five (45) days of such occurrence, a Parent Guaranty, together with the items that would have been delivered under Section 4.01(c)(i) through (iv), and Section 4.01(e) as if each of the Parent Entities had been a Guarantor on the Effective Date. Provided no Default arising under Section 7.01(h) or Event of Default is then continuing, the Parent Guaranty provided by the Parent Entities shall be automatically released at such time as no Parent Guaranty Event exists.

SECTION 5.10 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 5.11 Further Assurances. At the Borrower’s cost and expense and upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such further instruments, documents and certificates, and do and cause to be done such further acts that may be reasonably necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to carry out more effectively the guaranty and security provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.12 REIT Status. The Parent shall maintain its REIT status under the Code; provided that the requirements of this Section 5.12 may be waived in writing by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion so long as (x) the preservation and maintenance of REIT status under the Code is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the Parent, taken as a whole, and that the failure to maintain and preserve REIT status is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Borrower and (y) the failure to maintain and preserve REIT status would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE VI

Negative Covenants

Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Obligations payable hereunder have been paid in full (other than indemnities and other contingent obligations not then due and payable and as to which no claim has been made) and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or have been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.06 or 2.23), in each case, without any pending draw, and all LC Disbursements shall have been reimbursed, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that:

SECTION 6.01 Financial Covenants.

(a)Financial Covenants. From the Effective Date until the Obligations have been satisfied in full, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, the Borrower shall not permit:

(i) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. The Total Leverage Ratio to exceed 60%; provided, that the Borrower may elect that such ratio be permitted to exceed 60% in the fiscal quarter in which a Significant Acquisition occurs and for the three (3) consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, but in no event shall such ratio exceed 65% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. For purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio, (x) Total Outstanding Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent available for the repayment of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation and (y) Total Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (x) above.

(ii) Maximum Secured Leverage Ratio. Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness to exceed 45% of Total Asset Value. For purposes of this covenant, (x) Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation (excluding any such Unrestricted Cash used to determine the unencumbered leverage ratio pursuant to clause (iii) below as of such date) and (y) Total Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (x) above.

(iii) Maximum Unencumbered Leverage Ratio. Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness (including all outstanding Indebtedness under this Agreement) to exceed 60% of the Unencumbered Asset Value; provided, that the Borrower may elect that such ratio be permitted to exceed 60% in the fiscal quarter in which a Significant Acquisition occurs and for the three (3) consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, but in no event shall such ratio exceed 65% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. For purposes of this covenant, (x) Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation (excluding any such Unrestricted Cash used to determine the secured leverage ratio pursuant to clause (ii) above as of such date) and (y) Unencumbered Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (x) above.

(iv) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. EBITDA of the Borrower to be less than 1.5 times Fixed Charges (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”), all for the four (4) fiscal quarters most recently ended.

(v) Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio. Unencumbered NOI to be less than 1.75 times Total Unsecured Interest Expense (the “Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio”), all for the four (4) fiscal quarters most recently ended.

(vi) Maximum Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio. Total Outstanding Secured Recourse Indebtedness to exceed 5% of Total Asset Value at any time that the Borrower does not have an Investment Grade Rating.

(b)Calculation of Financial Covenants. For purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants under this Agreement:

(i) for any period, the Financial Covenants shall be calculated based upon the most recent quarter-end Financial Statements, on a pro forma basis, giving effect to any asset disposition or acquisition during such period (in each case, in excess of, in any individual transaction or series of transactions (calculated based on the cumulative effect of any acquisitions offsetting corresponding dispositions in any series of transactions), five percent (5.00%) of the number of Owned Properties) and any incurrence, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness during such period, in the case of any calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio, with such asset disposition or acquisition or such incurrence, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness being deemed to have occurred as of the first day of the period for which such Financial Covenants are being determined; and

(ii) the Financial Covenants set forth in Sections 6.01(a)(i), (ii), (iv), and (vi) with respect to any Investment Affiliate or any Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be calculated in a manner such that only the Ownership Share of the applicable Investment Affiliate or Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be taken into account, so that the Borrower will be credited (or debited, if applicable) only with the Ownership Share of the direct and indirect definitional and other components that are included in the calculation of such Financial Covenants.

SECTION 6.02 Fundamental Changes. (a) The Borrower will not, nor will the Borrower permit any Subsidiary or any Parent Entity to, (1) merge into or consolidate with any other Person, (2) permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it which would result in a Change in Control, (3) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of transactions and whether effected pursuant to a Division or otherwise) all or substantially all of their consolidated assets (including all or substantially all of the Equity Interests in the Subsidiaries) (in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or (4) liquidate or dissolve; provided that, the following events shall be permitted without the consent of the Lenders: (i) any Person may merge into the Borrower or a Parent Entity in a transaction in which the Borrower or the Parent Entity is the surviving corporation (or, if the Borrower or the Parent Entity is not the survivor, the Required Lenders have consented to such transaction), (ii) any Person (other than the Borrower or a Parent Entity) may merge into any Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Subsidiary, (iii) any Parent Entity (other than the Parent) may merge into any other Parent Entity, (iv) any Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to the Borrower or to another Subsidiary, (v) any Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve or merge into, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to, another Person on an arm’s-length basis if the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution, merger or disposition is in the best interests of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders and (vi) the Borrower or any Subsidiary may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any Subsidiary in connection with any disposition of assets that is not prohibited by this Agreement. The Borrower will not, and will not permit the Parent or any Guarantor to reorganize under the laws of a jurisdiction other than any state of the United States or the District of Columbia.

(b)The Borrower will not, nor will the Borrower permit any Subsidiary to, engage, to any material extent, in any business other than businesses of the type conducted by the

Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Effective Date and businesses reasonably related, complementary, synergistic, ancillary or incidental thereto or reasonable extensions thereof.

SECTION 6.03 Restricted Payments. Restricted Payments shall be permitted without restriction, provided that if (a) an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(i) has occurred and is continuing or (b) the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Borrower will not declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payments except (i) if the Parent then maintains its REIT status, the amount required for the Parent (A) to continue to maintain its status as a REIT under the Code, and (B) to avoid any entity-level tax, including tax under Section 4981 of the Code, or (ii) to the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor.

SECTION 6.04 Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of the Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates, except (a) upon fair and reasonable terms which are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties, (b) transactions solely between or among the Borrower and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, (c) transactions pursuant to agreements and arrangements described on Schedule 6.04, (d) the issuance of equity securities to Affiliates, (e) compensation, bonus and benefit arrangements with employees, officers, directors and trustees of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or the Parent that are customary in the industry or are in the ordinary course consistent with past practices, (f) transactions with any Affiliate that manages any assets owned by the Consolidated Group; provided that any agreement therefor is expressly terminable by the asset owner without cause or penalty upon no more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, and (g) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 6.03. Subject to the requirements of Section 6.04(a), this Section shall not prohibit loans to and other investments by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries or any Investment Affiliate, in each case that are otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.05 Changes in Fiscal Periods. Unless required by a law, regulation or order of a Governmental Authority, the Borrower will not (i) permit the fiscal year of a Loan Party to end on a day other than December 31 or (ii) change a Loan Party’s method of determining fiscal quarters; provided that if such change is required by such law, regulation or order, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior written notice of such change.

SECTION 6.06 Burdensome Agreements. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any Contractual Obligation or Negative Pledge (other than the Loan Documents, any Permitted Encumbrances or any Permitted Pari Passu Provision) that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to make Restricted Payments to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, that this covenant shall not prohibit any customary limitation on Restricted Payments provided in favor of any holder of Nonrecourse Indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business by Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Loan Parties, in each case, solely to the extent that such limitation restricts the ability of a Consolidated Party to make Restricted Payments to a Loan Party.

ARTICLE VII

Events of Default

SECTION 7.01 Events of Default. If any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

(a)the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or otherwise;

(g)any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (after the giving of all notices and the expiration of all grace periods) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to (x) Material Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness and that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Material Indebtedness, (y) regularly scheduled amortization payments with respect to Material Indebtedness or (z) customary non-default mandatory prepayments with respect to Material Indebtedness in connection with asset sales, casualty or condemnation events (provided that the failure to pay any such Indebtedness shall not constitute a Default so long as the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such other Loan Party, as applicable, is diligently contesting the payment of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such other Loan Party has set aside, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, a sufficient reserve to repay such Indebtedness plus all accrued interest thereon calculated at the default rate thereunder and costs of enforcement in the event of an adverse outcome);

(h)an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of any Loan Party, any Parent Entity or any Material Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for any Loan Party, any Parent Entity or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets (an “Involuntary Proceeding”), and, in any such case, such Involuntary Proceeding shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

(i)any Loan Party, any Parent Entity or any Material Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (h) of this Section, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for such Loan Party, Parent Entity or Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

(l)any Loan Party or any Parent Entity shall disavow, revoke or terminate (or attempt to terminate) any Loan Document to which it is a party or shall otherwise challenge or contest in any action, suit or proceeding in any court or before any Governmental Authority the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, a Guaranty or any other Loan Document; or this Agreement, a Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect (except as a result of the express terms thereof);

(m)an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

(n)a Change in Control shall have occurred;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 7.02 Distribution of Payments after Default. In the event that following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent to such monies;

Second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Loan Parties and any fees then due to the Administrative Agent;

Third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably in proportion to the respective amounts payable under this clause third;

Fourth, to pay or prepay, as applicable, principal on the Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and any payment obligations then owing to the Approved Counterparties under Lender Hedge Agreements ratably to the Lenders, Issuing Banks and Approved Counterparties in proportion to the respective amounts under this clause fourth;

Fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations;

Sixth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to indemnification provisions of the Loan Documents, if any;

Seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, if any; and

Eighth, to the Borrower or whoever may be legally entitled thereto.

Subject to Sections 2.06(j) and 2.23, amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Lender Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received a Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request , from the applicable Approved Counterparty (except if such Approved Counterparty is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), as the case may be. Each Approved Counterparty not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article VIII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the

Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative 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 in connection herewith, (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 or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authorized by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable

judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 8.06 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower and (b) the Required Lenders may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower remove the Administrative Agent (i) for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, or (ii) if it has become a Defaulting Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at such time), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring or removed Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed (the “Resignation or Removal Effective Date”), then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation or Removal Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation or Removal Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Bank, 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 LC Disbursements with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.06(d).

SECTION 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender or any Issuing Bank as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, Passive Joint Lead Arrangers, Arrangers, syndication agent, documentation agents, senior managing agent or managing agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Sustainable Agent, a Lender and/or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, 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 any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and each, an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System other than as a result of willful misconduct or gross negligence by such Person as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Subject to Section 2.20(b), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition

105

precedent to a disbursement hereunder or of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; it being understood that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in any rate of interest (provided that only the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under a particular Facility shall be necessary to waive any applicability of default interest with respect to such Facility), (iii) except as provided in Section 2.21, postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(a), (b) or (c) or Section 7.02 or any other provision hereof in a manner that would have the effect of altering the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments otherwise required hereunder, or the definition of “Pro-Rata Share”, in each case without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Facility Lenders” with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility, (vii) (A) release the Parent from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.09), (B) release any of the other Parent Entities (or group of Parent Entities) from its or their obligations under the Parent Guaranty, in each case, solely if its or their release would constitute a release of all or substantially all of the value of the Parent Guaranty at such time (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.09), (C) release any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (or group of Subsidiary Guarantors) from its or their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document, in each case, solely if its or their release would constitute a release of all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guaranty at such time (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.09), or (D) release the Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Obligations hereunder to any other Indebtedness or other obligations, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ix) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided, further, that (v) no such agreement shall amend, modify, waive or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 2.14 or any of the definitions of “LIBOR”, “LIBOR Screen Rate”, “LIBOR Successor Rate”, “SOFR”, “Term SOFR”, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes”, “Related Adjustment”, “Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate” or “Scheduled Unavailability Date” without the consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, or (w) no such agreement shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents so as to alter the ratable treatment of the Obligations arising under the Loan Documents or the Obligations arising under the Lender Hedge Agreements under Section 7.02, or any of the definitions of “Approved Counterparty”, “Lender Hedge Agreements”, or “Obligations”, in each case in a manner disproportionately adverse to the Approved Counterparties without the consent of the Approved Counterparties in addition to the consent of the Lenders required above, (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (y) the consent of the Required Facility Lenders of a Facility shall be required for any amendment, waiver or modification that adversely affects the rights of such Facility in a manner different than such amendment, waiver or modification affects the other Facility (it being understood, however, that any amendment, modification or waiver in relation to any representation, warranty, affirmative covenant,

106

negative covenant, financial covenant or event of default contained in Articles III, V, VI or VII hereof, together with similar provisions contained in any other Loan Document, shall not require the consent of such Required Facility Lenders as a result of the operation of this clause (y)), and (z) no such agreement shall amend or modify Section 2.20 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and each Issuing Bank.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.02, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such amendment to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Sustainable Agent, and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable out-of-pocket and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Sustainable Agent, and their respective Affiliates, taken as a whole, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), due diligence expenses and all printing, reproduction, document delivery, travel, Electronic System, and communication costs, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (but in each case limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and, if applicable, one additional local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to the affected Lender or Lenders similarly situated and taken as a whole), during the existence of an Event of Default and in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other

107

litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Loan Party, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from any Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iv) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (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), (v) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (vi) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether brought by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or a third party, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that (A) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to (x) have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (y) have not resulted from an act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates and have been brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a claim or dispute involving an Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner) and (B) the Borrower shall not, in connection with any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (which shall be selected by the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners after consultation with the Borrower) at any one time for the Indemnitees as a whole (and, if necessary, one firm of local and regulatory counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and regulatory field, as applicable, at any one time for the Indemnitees as a whole); provided, further, that in the case of a conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, the Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one firm of counsel (and, if necessary, one firm of local and regulatory counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and regulatory field) for each such affected Indemnitee. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee in connection with any claim for which it is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such indemnified person shall (x) promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) give the Borrower an opportunity to consult from time to time with such Indemnitee regarding defensive measures and potential settlement. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and shall not duplicate any amounts paid under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

108

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above 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 in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of only one Facility;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any Tax Forms required to be provided under Section 2.17(f);

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

(E)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative

110

Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with, in the case of the Term Loans, the percentage of the total outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders represented by such Lender’s Term Loans, and, in the case of the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (E), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and

111

Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) without regard to the existence of any 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, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent (x) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (y) such participation was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and 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 Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the

112

contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)[intentionally omitted].

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPV”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) no SPV shall have any voting rights pursuant to this Section 9.04(f) (all such voting rights shall be retained by the Granting Lender), (iv) with respect to notices, payments and other matters hereunder, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated to deal with an SPV, but may limit their communications and other dealings relevant to such SPV to the applicable Granting Lender, and (v) with respect to the funding of any Loan by an SPV, the Borrower shall not have to pay any greater cost, or incur any greater expense, under the provisions of this Section 9.04(f) or otherwise, than if all Loans were funded by the applicable Granting Lender without the involvement of an SPV. The funding of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. This Section 9.04(f) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPV at the time of such amendment.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, such Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the applicable Issuing Bank as an Issuing Bank. If the applicable Issuing Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all LC Disbursements with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund risk participations

113

in unreimbursed LC Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.06(d)). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and such successor Issuing Bank’s consent to such appointment, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and (y) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the applicable retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h)(i) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on an Electronic System for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 9.04, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.

(ii)If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Institution or Competitor without the Borrower’s prior consent (in the case of Disqualified Institutions, in violation of clause (i) above), or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution or Competitor after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution or Competitor and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution or Competitor and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution or Competitor in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions or Competitors, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution or Competitor paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution or Competitor to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution or Competitor paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04(b), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws and (iii) in the case of clause (B), the Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions or Competitors.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions and Competitors (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information,

114

reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution and Competitor will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions or Competitors consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution and Competitor party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution or Competitor does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv)The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Electronic System, including that portion of the Electronic System that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject

115

matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b)Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, Assignments and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications hereof, Borrowing Requests, waivers and consents) may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures, and the words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further, that, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature of any party to this Agreement shall, as promptly as practicable, be followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” shall have the meaning assigned to such term by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(c) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the

116

Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. No amounts set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b)Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined solely in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on any security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense other than any objection to the laying of venue of such action or the action having been brought in an inconvenient forum but including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, (iii) if all such New York courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or, in the case of the Federal District court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iv) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York court) in any such action or proceeding.

(c)Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. 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.

(d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

117

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) 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, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13 Material Non-Public Information.

(a)EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-

118

PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b)ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

(c)The Borrower acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Electronic System and (b) certain of the Lenders (each a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Electronic System designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Electronic System not designated “Public Side Information.” Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Electronic System in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Electronic System and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

SECTION 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to

119

the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the Transactions (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understand and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will not claim that any of the Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Lenders, Issuing Banks and their respective affiliates has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect or owes a fiduciary duty or similar duty to it in connection with any aspect of the Transactions. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of the Transactions.

SECTION 9.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

120

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

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

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

SECTION 9.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.18, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

121

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

SECTION 9.19 Limited Recourse. Unless the Parent Entities become Guarantors pursuant to Section 5.09(e) and subject to the limitations described below in this Section 9.19, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are non-recourse to the Parent or any Parent Entity as a result of its capacity as direct or indirect owner of the Borrower and as a result of its having joined in the execution of this Agreement in such capacity on behalf of the Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any recourse to the Loan Parties and their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Credit Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agree that, unless a Parent Entity has become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.09(e), (x) the Parent and the Parent Entities shall not be liable for any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents as a result of their status as direct or indirect owners of the Borrower or otherwise and (y) the Parent is joining in the execution of this Agreement solely on behalf of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this Section 9.19 shall in any way prevent or hinder any Credit Party in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Loan Parties or any of their respective assets.

SECTION 9.20 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

SECTION 9.21 No Novation.

(a)This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Credit Agreement or the obligations evidenced thereby or provided for thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (i) all “Loans”, “Revolving Loans” and “Term Loans” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement shall on the Effective Date become Loans, Revolving Loans and Term Loans hereunder and (ii) all other Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall on the Effective Date be Obligations under this Agreement. Each undersigned Lender with a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan under the Existing Credit Agreement hereby agrees to exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of such Revolving Loans and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement into Revolving Loans and/or Term Loans, as applicable, outstanding immediately after the effectiveness of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

122

(b)On the Effective Date, the Existing Notes, if any, held by each Lender shall be deemed to be cancelled and, if such Lender has requested a Note hereunder, amended and restated by the Note delivered hereunder on or about the Effective Date (regardless of whether any Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower for cancellation the Existing Note(s) held by it). Each Lender, whether or not requesting a Note hereunder, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any Existing Notes held by it to the Borrower for cancellation and/or amendment and restatement. All amounts owing under, and evidenced by, any Existing Notes held by a Lender as of the Effective Date shall continue to be outstanding hereunder, and shall from and after the Effective Date, if requested by the Lender holding such Existing Note(s), be evidenced by the Note(s), and shall in any event be evidenced by, and governed by the terms of, this Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, actions or claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Borrower arising out of such Lender’s failure to deliver any Existing Notes held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, subject to the condition that the Borrower shall not make any payment to any Person claiming to be the holder of any Existing Notes unless such Lender is first notified of such claim and is given the opportunity, at such Lender’s sole cost and expense, to assert any defenses to such payment.

(c)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered on the Effective Date, any and all references in the Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and unless any Loan Document has been expressly amended and restated pursuant to this Agreement, any Loan Document as defined in, or executed pursuant to, the Existing Credit Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document hereunder.

(d)The Administrative Agent and each Lender under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement that is party hereto as a Lender hereby agrees that as of the Effective Date, all security interests and liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties (each under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) securing amounts evidenced by the Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall automatically terminate. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees, at Borrower’s sole expense, to duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, all lien releases, discharges of security interests and pledges and other similar discharge and release documents, as are reasonably requested or necessary to release, as of record, all security interests and liens previously granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), and to deliver to the Borrower all collateral previously delivered in physical form by the Loan Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Borrower (or any designee of the Borrower) to prepare and file all such termination statements, releases, discharges and related filings as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence (provided that the Administrative Agent shall have approved the form and substance of such UCC termination statements and other releases and instruments).
