WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower, the Company, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2018 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement as amended by this Agreement), and the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent are party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to permit Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower to be designated as additional borrowers subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or the consent of each Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any additional borrower organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or Canada); and

WHEREAS, on the Effective Date (as defined below) the Parent Borrower wishes to designate as a borrower 3332342 Nova Scotia Company (the “Canadian Applicant Borrower”), an indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company and a sister company to the Parent Borrower; and

WHEREAS, on or about January 2, 2020, the Canadian Applicant Borrower is expected to request a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (the “Initial Canadian Borrowing”) to fund, in part, the acquisition of the issued and outstanding shares of Nova Cold Logistics ULC (the “Target”), and then, following such acquisition, the Canadian Applicant Borrower will amalgamate with the Target (the “Amalgamation”), and the resulting amalgamated entity (“AmalCo”) will remain liable for the obligations of the Canadian Applicant Borrower under the Credit Agreement and shall thereafter be designated as a Designated Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, promptly following the Amalgamation, the Company will contribute its ownership interest in AmalCo’s parent companies to the Parent Borrower with the result that AmalCo is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower has requested that, notwithstanding any timing or delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby with respect to the designation of Designated Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders consent to the designation of the Canadian Applicant Borrower as a Designated Borrower effective on the Effective Date and allow such Designated Borrower to immediately thereafter request the Initial Canadian Borrowing; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to amend the Credit Agreement to add the designated borrower provisions and to make other unrelated changes, and the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders are willing to consent to the designation of the Canadian Applicant Borrower and AmalCo, as the successor by amalgamation to the Canadian Applicant Borrower, as a Designated Borrower.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement as amended by this Agreement, including that on the Effective Date through the Contribution Date (as defined below) the Canadian Applicant Borrower is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company and a sister company of the Parent Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such ownership of the Canadian Applicant Borrower and AmalCo during such period shall not constitute a Change of Control), (a) each of the Lenders consents to the designation of the Canadian Applicant Borrower as a Designated Borrower and directs the Administrative Agent to deliver a Designated Borrower Notice with respect to the Canadian Applicant Borrower to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders on the Effective Date and (b) on or after the Effective Date the Parent Borrower may submit a Committed Loan Notice on behalf of the Canadian Applicant Borrower requesting the Initial Canadian Borrowing. In addition, the Lenders consent to the Amalgamation and the Contribution and agree that (a) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, (i) unless the Administrative Agent or any Lender notifies the Parent Borrower prior to the effective date set forth in the Designated Borrower Notice delivered by the Administrative Agent with respect to AmalCo that the results of any “know your customer” or similar investigation conducted by the Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect to AmalCo is not reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the designation of AmalCo as a Designated Borrower shall be deemed effective as of the first date (such date being referred to herein as the “Designation Effective Date”) on which the Loan Parties and AmalCo have complied with Sections 5.2 and 5.3, and (ii) a Committed Loan Notice may be submitted by or on

behalf of AmalCo on or after the Designation Effective Date and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, (i) prior to the thirty-first (31st) day following the Amalgamation, the non-occurrence of the Designation Effective Date shall not be, or be deemed to be, a default in the observance or performance of any agreement contained in Section 9.4(i) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) prior to the Designation Effective Date, no requests for any Loans or other extensions of credit may be submitted by or on behalf of AmalCo.

SECTION 2. Amendment to Credit Agreement. Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as of the Effective Date, the Parent Borrower, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that (i) the Credit Agreement (other than the schedules and exhibits thereto (except as described in clauses (ii) through (iii))) is hereby amended to incorporate the changes marked on the copy of the Credit Agreement attached as Annex I hereto (ii) the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by replacing Exhibit G-1 to the Credit Agreement in its entirety with the Exhibit G-1 attached hereto as Annex II, and (iii) the Credit Agreement is further amended to include, as Exhibits K, L and M, the Form of Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement, the Form of Designated Borrower Notice, and the Form of Designated Borrower Termination Notice, respectively, attached as Annex III hereto.

(b) Any failure by an Alternative Currency Tranche Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Alternative Currency Tranche Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and any Letter of Credit Issuer consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

Section 1.11. Change of Currency. (a) Each obligation of the BorrowerBorrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(a) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect

the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

Section 2.2. Borrowings, Continuations and Conversions of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative

Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Parent Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) five Business Days (or six Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, and of each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans, shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loan and in a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (except as provided in Sections 2.3(c), 3.3 and 3.4). Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Parent Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and, (vi) the Tranche and currency of any Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued and (vii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Parent Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Loans in their requested currency or continued as Eurocurrency Loans in their original currency, as the case may be, with an Interest Period of one month. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Tranche in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Dollar Tranche Loans if the request specifies Dollars (or does not specify a currency), and as Alternative Currency Tranche Loans if the request specifies an Alternative Currency or if no unused Dollar Tranche Commitments exist. Any automatic

conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans. If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency or in a different Tranche, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency or reborrowed in a different Tranche to the extent permitted herein.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and, in the case of a request with respect to an Alternative Currency Tranche Loan, the currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 7.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Parent Borrower or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Parent Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency). During the existence of a Default, (i) upon the request of the Required Lenders, no Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans, and (ii) upon the request of the Required Tranche Lenders, Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall only be requested as or continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(e) More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that after giving effect to all Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, all conversions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loans.

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

(g) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Parent Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which such obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower.

(h) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

Section 2.3. Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the Dollar Tranche Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, may in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that, (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of such Lender acting as a Swing Line Lender plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) the aggregate Dollar Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders’ shall not exceed the amount of the Dollar Tranche, (v) the Dollar Tranche Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Commitment and (vi) Availability shall be greater than or equal to $0, (y) the Parent Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Swing Line Loan may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.3, prepay under Section 5.1, and reborrow under this Section 2.3. Each Swing Line

Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Dollar Tranche Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan (each a “Swing Line Participation”) in an amount equal to the product of such Dollar Tranche Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Dollar Tranche Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.3(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article VII is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Parent Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds or, if requested in the Swing Line Loan Notice delivered to the Swing Line Lender, by transfer of Same Day Funds to a bank specified by the Parent Borrower for credit to an account at such bank specified by the Parent Borrower in such Swing Line Loan Notice.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Dollar Tranche Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Dollar Tranche Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 7.2. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly

after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Tranche Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.3(c)(ii), each Dollar Tranche Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Dollar Tranche Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Dollar Tranche Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Dollar Tranche Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Dollar Tranche Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c) by the time specified in Section 2.3(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Dollar Tranche Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Dollar Tranche Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Dollar Tranche Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Dollar Tranche Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Dollar Tranche Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit

Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Dollar Tranche Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Dollar Tranche Lender its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.7(c) (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Tranche Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Dollar Tranche Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Dollar Tranche Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.3 to refinance such Dollar Tranche Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

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

Section 2.4. Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing in accordance with, and at the time required by, Section 2.2, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the applicable Borrower a

corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the applicable Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from the applicable Lender and such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to thesuch Borrower to the date of such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower, and the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to thesuch Borrower to the date of such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If thesuch 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 thesuch Borrower the amount of such interest paid by thesuch Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by thesuch Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim thesuch Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Payments by BorrowerBorrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from thea Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that thesuch Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that thesuch Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if thesuch Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such applicable Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, in Same Day 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 a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate.

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

(g) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. 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 theany Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article VII 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) Obligations of Lenders Several.

(i) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, and to make payments pursuant to Sections 5.4(g) and 11.7 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, to fund any such participation, to make any such purchase or to make any payment under Sections 5.4(g) and 11.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, to purchase its participation, or to make its payment under Sections 5.4(g) and 11.7.

(ii) Nothing in this Section 2.4, including any payment by theany Borrower, shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to, fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that theany Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(e) Funding Source. 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 2.5. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Term Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Term Loans.

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The BorrowerBorrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

Section 2.6. Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Loans and other extensions of credit made by each Lender to theeach Borrower shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the

Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The entries made in the Register and the accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of theeach Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the BorrowerBorrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to any of the BorrowerBorrowers by such Lender 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 accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) TheEach Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, thesuch Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent), at thesuch Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, which shall evidence the Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans, respectively, owing to such Lender in addition to the accounts or records described in clause (a). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

Section 2.7. [Reserved].

Section 2.8. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan (including any Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans plus the relevant Eurocurrency Rate.

(c) (i) While any Event of Default arising under Section 10.1(a)(i) or (h) exists the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of any Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, a rate equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Letter of Credit Fees plus 2.00% and (z) in the case of any other Obligations, including interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2.00%.

(i) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clause (c)(i) above), the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

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

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in the same currency in which the Loan is denominated; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid) in respect thereof, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (C) after such maturity, on demand. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(e) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall

be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(g) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Section 2.9. LIBOR Successor Rate. (a) 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 Parent Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Parent Borrower) that the Parent Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, 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 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 (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.9, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1(a)(iv), any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Parent Borrower unless,

prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

(a) If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods) 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.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

As used above:

“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the Administrative Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time).

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Parent Borrower).

Section 2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a) In the event that (w) in the case of clause (i)(A) and (B) below, the Administrative Agent, (x) in the case of clause (i)(C) below, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, (y) in the case of clauses (ii) below, the Required Term Loan Lenders (with respect to Term Loans) or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) below, any Lender, shall have reasonably determined (in each case, which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans are not generally available in the relevant market, (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or (C) for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to such proposed Eurocurrency Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lenders shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any increase or reduction attributable to (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Connection Income Taxes) because of any Change in Law; or

(iii) in good faith that any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (in each case whether or not having the force of 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 perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency 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 or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market;

(such Loans, “Impacted Loans”), then, and in any such event, such Lender, Required Lenders, Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)(A) or (B) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, (1) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods) and (2) in the event of such a determination with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Committed Loan Notice given by the Parent Borrower with respect to Eurocurrency Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the BorrowerBorrowers, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay to such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lenders in their reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders for such actual increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable

hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lenders, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Parent Borrower by such Lenders shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, (1) the obligation of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any affected Eurocurrency Loans, to continue any affected Eurocurrency Loans or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended and (2) 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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and the BorrowerBorrowers shall take the actions specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in Section 2.10(a)(i)(A), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower and the affected 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 (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (A) of Section 2.10(a)(i), (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) 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 Parent Borrower written notice thereof.

(b) At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Parent Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) (x) if a Committed Loan Notice with respect to an affected Eurocurrency Loan has been submitted pursuant to Section 2.2 but the affected Eurocurrency Loan has not been funded or continued, cancel such requested Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Parent Borrower was notified by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if an affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loan) to the Administrative Agent, prepay or, if any such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars into a Base Rate Loan (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 Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate); provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the BorrowerBorrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(c) If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or compliance by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on such Lender’s, such Letter of Credit Issuer’s or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s parent’s or Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s commitments, Loans, participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans or other obligations hereunder or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s parent or Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s parent or Affiliate with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Parent Borrower shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its parent or Affiliate, as the case may be, such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s parent for such actual reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall seek compensation under this Section 2.10(c) based on the occurrence of a Change in Law unless such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (in such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s reasonable determination) is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the unsecured REIT loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers (but not necessarily all such borrowers) having provisions similar to this Section 2.10(c); provided that in no event shall any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer be required to disclose information of other customers. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Parent Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the BorrowerBorrowers’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) promptly following receipt of such notice.

(d) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Parent Borrower shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid

principal amount of each Eurocurrency 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) and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case, shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least 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 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.11. Compensation. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Parent Borrower shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) each Lender for and hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) any failure by theany Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Parent Borrower or the applicable Designated Borrower, (c) any failure by theany Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, including any losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred, including by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Eurocurrency Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Parent Borrower shall also pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 2.11 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or

amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Parent Borrower (or the applicable Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 2.11, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Loans, L/C Credit Extensions and other extensions of credit to the BorrowerBorrowers through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the BorrowerBorrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Recipient pursuant to such sections), it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Lending Office suffer no unreimbursed cost or other material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of theany Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

Section 2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121^st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Parent Borrower (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.14. Increase in Facilities.

(a) Request for Increase. Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Facilities to an amount not exceeding $1,675,000,000 in the aggregate after giving effect to such increase by requesting an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”), requesting an increase in the Term Loan Facility (each such increase, an “Incremental Term Loan Increase”) or establishing a new (or increasing an existing) tranche of pari passu term loans (each an “Additional TL Tranche”; each Additional TL Tranche, Incremental Revolving Increase, and Incremental Term Loan Increase are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”); provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or any lesser amount if such amount represents all remaining availability under the aggregate limit in respect of the increases set forth above (or such lesser amount as the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), (ii) all Incremental Revolving Increases and Incremental Term Loan Increases shall be on the same terms as the Class of and, if applicable, the Tranche of, the Facilities being increased, and (iii) all incremental commitments and loans provided as part of an Additional TL Tranche shall be on terms agreed to by the BorrowerBorrowers and the Lenders providing such Additional TL Tranche; provided, that (x) the final maturity date therefor may not be earlier than the latest maturity date (including any extension option) of any then existing Facility and (y) if the terms of such Additional TL Tranche (other than final maturity) are not the same as the terms of the Term Loan or a then existing Additional TL Tranche, such new Additional TL Tranche shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Additional TL Tranche. The Parent Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person that meets the requirements to be an Assignee under Section 12.6(b)(i) and (ii)(B) to provide all or a portion of the requested increase; provided that (x) any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the requested increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide all or a portion of such increase, (y) no Person approached shall become a Lender without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, in each case, if required pursuant to Section 12.6(b) and (z) the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any portion of a requested increase. At the time of sending its notice, the Parent Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender and other Person approached by the Parent Borrower is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders).

(b) Elections to Increase. Each Lender and other Person approached by the Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent within the specified time period whether or not it agrees to provide all or a portion of such increase and, if so, the amount of such requested increase that it proposes to provide. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide any portion of the requested increase. Any Person providing any portion of the requested increase that is not an existing Lender shall become a Lender pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel

(each, a “Joinder Agreement”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender of the responses to each request made hereunder.

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Facilities are increased pursuant to an Incremental Facility in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental Facility and promptly notify the Lenders thereof and, (x) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, Dollar Tranche Commitment and/or Alternative Currency Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage(s) of each Revolving Credit Lender as a result thereof and (y) in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Increase or an Additional TL Tranche, the amount of the Term Loan and Applicable Percentage of each Term Lender as a result thereof.

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Incremental Facility. In each case, the Incremental Facility shall become effective as of the applicable Increase Effective Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increase Effective Date both before and after giving effect to such increase, (ii) before and after giving effect to such increase, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of any Group Member in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on such Increase Effective Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) and (b), respectively), (iii) after giving effect to such increase and any Loans to be made on such Increase Effective Date, Availability shall be equal to or greater than $0, (iv) the Parent Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the applicable Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase or (2) certifying that, as of such Increase Effective Date, the resolutions delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date include approval to increase the maximum aggregate principal amount of all commitments and outstanding loans under this Agreement to an amount at least equal to $1,675,000,000, and (y) in the case of the Parent Borrower, certifying to the Administrative Agent that the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) above have been satisfied, (v) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) a Joinder Agreement for each Person (other than a Lender), if any, participating in such increase, which Joinder Agreement shall be duly executed by the Parent Borrower and each such Person and acknowledged and consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the Swing Line Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers and (y) written confirmation from each existing Lender, if any, participating in such increase of the amount by which its Revolving Credit Commitment will be increased, and/or the amount of Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and/or loans or commitments with

respect to an Additional TL Tranche to be provided by it, (vi) if requested by the Administrative Agent or any new Lender or Lender participating in the Incremental Facility, the Administrative Agent shall have received a favorable opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as to such customary matters concerning the Incremental Facility as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, (vii) if requested by any new Lender joining on the applicable Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Note executed by the BorrowerBorrowers in favor of such new Lender, (viii) the BorrowerBorrowers shall have paid such fees to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the Lenders participating in the increase, as are agreed mutually at the time and invoiced at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Increase Effective Date and shall have paid any fees required to be paid pursuant to the Fee Letter in connection therewith, (ix) upon the reasonable request of any Lender or potential Lender made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable Increase Effective Date, the BorrowerBorrowers shall have provided to such Lender or potential Lender, and such Lender or potential Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, in each case at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Increase Effective Date and (x) the conditions to the making of an extension of credit set forth in Section 7.2 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase) shall be satisfied or waived.

(e) Settlement and Funding Procedures. On each Increase Effective Date, promptly following fulfillment of the conditions set forth in clause (d) of this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the occurrence of the increase effected on such Increase Effective Date, the amount of the increase, the nature of the increase (i.e., an Incremental Revolving Increase, an Incremental Term Loan Increase or an Additional TL Tranche) and, in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the applicable Tranche or Tranches. In the event that an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment results in any change to the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Lender, then on the applicable Increase Effective Date (i) the participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be automatically reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages after giving effect to such increase, (ii) any new Lender, and any existing Revolving Credit Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amounts in Dollars and any applicable Alternative Currencies as are necessary to fund its new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all existing Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Tranche or Tranches, (iii) the Administrative Agent will use the proceeds thereof to pay to all existing Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is decreasing such amounts as are necessary so that each Lender’s participation in existing Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Tranche or Tranches will be equal to its adjusted Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (iv) if the applicable Increase Effective Date occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period

applicable to any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurocurrency Loan, then the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (iii) of this sentence. In the event of an Incremental Term Loan Increase or an Additional TL Tranche, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility shall make a Term Loan to the applicable Borrower in an amount equal to its pro rata share of such Incremental Facility.

(f) Amendments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1, the BorrowerBorrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender participating in any Incremental Facility may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to implement the terms of any such Incremental Facility, including any amendments necessary to establish the Loans under any Incremental Facility as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the new and existing Classes or tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.14. In addition, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Incremental Revolving Increases and Term Loans that are made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Increases and Additional TL Tranches, respectively.

(g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.7(a) or 12.1 to the contrary

Section 2.15. Replacement of Lenders or Termination of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Parent Borrower shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender with a replacement bank or other financial institution or (y) to terminate the Commitment of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the BorrowerBorrowers due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the BorrowerBorrowers owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) such replacement or termination does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing

at the time of such replacement or termination, (iii) the Parent Borrower shall repay or cause to be repaid (or in the case of a replacement, the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts, including pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced or terminated Lender prior to the date of replacement or termination, as the case may be, (iv) any replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, an Affiliate of the Lender or Approved Fund, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) any replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 12.6(b), (vi) any replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6(b) (provided that the failure of any such replaced Lender to execute an assignment shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register), (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that theany Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (viii) such replacement bank or institution would not have been entitled to reimbursement or have been affected as provided in (a) or (b) above.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders directly and adversely affected or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then the Parent Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 12.6(b)) or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the BorrowerBorrowers due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the BorrowerBorrowers owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that (a) all Obligations hereunder of the BorrowerBorrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment including any amounts that such Lender may be owed pursuant to Section 2.11 and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the Outstanding Amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the BorrowerBorrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 12.6.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.15 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment

and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

Section 2.16. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.1.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.7(b) 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 Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuers with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.8; fourth, as the Parent 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 Parent 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 future Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuers with respect to such Defaulting Lender, in accordance with Section 3.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to theany Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by thesuch Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 were satisfied

or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee payable under clause (i) of Section 4.1(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the BorrowerBorrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive (1) Facility Fees payable under clause (ii) of Section 4.1(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (x) the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans funded by it, and (y) its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8 and (2) Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8.

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

(iv) Reallocation of Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-

Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit 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 Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 12.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Parent Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the applicable Lenders, and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Dollar Tranche Lenders, in each case, in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the applicable Classes of Loans (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of theany Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.17. Extension of Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(a) Requests for Extension. The Parent Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice, a “Revolving Loan Extension Notice”) at least 30 days prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, but no more than 90 days prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, request that the Revolving Lenders extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for a period of 12 months from the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(b) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any such extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date each of the following

requirements shall be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent (in each case, the first date on which such conditions precedent are satisfied or waived, the “Extension Effective Date”):

(i) On the date of such Revolving Loan Extension Notice and both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (x) each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of any Group Member in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on such Extension Effective Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date and except that for purposes of this Section 2.17, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) and (b), respectively) and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) The Parent Borrower shall have paid or caused to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders based on their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages as of such date, an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.15% multiplied by the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as in effect on the Extension Effective Date, it being agreed that such extension fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason;

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Parent Borrower dated as of the Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (1) (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension or (B) certifying that, as of the Extension Effective Date, the resolutions delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Closing Date (which resolutions include approval for an extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for a period that is not less than an additional twelve (12) months from the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date) are and remain in full force and effect and have not been modified, rescinded or superseded since the date of adoption and (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of any Group Member in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on such Extension Effective Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date and except that for purposes of this Section 2.17, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) and (b), respectively), and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have received such other certificates, opinions and other documents as the Administrative Agent or any of the Revolving Credit Lenders may reasonably require, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Extension Effectiveness. The Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be extended, effective as of the Extension Effective Date.

(d) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.7(a) or 12.1 to the contrary.

Section 2.18. Designated Borrowers.

(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time by notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent request that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (an “Applicant Borrower”) be designated as a Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Credit Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of each such designation by the Parent Borrower and the identity and jurisdiction of the Applicant Borrower. Following delivery of a Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement, the Parent Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender provide all documentation and other information concerning such Applicant Borrower that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received (i) all documentation and other information concerning such Applicant Borrower that the Administrative Agent or any Lender requests in order to comply with its obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (the “Required Information”), (ii) such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, and (iii) one or more Notes signed by such Applicant Borrower to the extent any Lenders so require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the results of any such “know your customer” or similar investigation conducted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Applicant Borrower is not reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Applicant Borrower shall not be permitted to become a Designated Borrower.

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Revolving Credit Loans hereunder; provided that the designation of an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the

United States or Canada as a Designated Borrower shall require the consent of each Revolving Credit Lender; provided, further that the designation of an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of Canada shall require the consent of each Revolving Credit Lender if any Change in Law adversely affects the legality or ability of a Revolving Credit Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans to such Applicant Borrower or to conduct business in the jurisdiction of organization of such Applicant Borrower, then promptly following receipt, but in no event earlier than ten (10) Business Days (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent may agree) following receipt, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the Required Information with respect to an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of the United States or Canada (unless the preceding proviso is applicable) and within such time period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower following receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the Required Information with respect to any other Applicant Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which, subject to receipt of all resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information requested or required pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(a), the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Committed Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five (5) Business Days after such effective date.

(c) The Obligations of the Parent Borrower and each Designated Borrower shall be joint and several in nature, as further described in Section 2.19.

(d) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.18 hereby irrevocably appoints and consents to the Parent Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including, without limitation, with respect to Borrowings and repayments of Loans as described in Article II hereof and Letters of Credit as described in Article III hereof and of service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 12.11 (and the Parent Borrower hereby accepts such appointment for service)), (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Parent Borrower, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(e) The Parent Borrower may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such by delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed notice in substantially the form of Exhibit M (a “Designated Borrower Termination Notice”), provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans or other extensions of credit made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Designated Borrower Termination Notice with respect to any Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery (including without limitation any obligation arising thereafter in respect of such Borrower under Section 3.5 or 5.4) or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article XIII with respect to any such unpaid obligations.

Section 2.19. Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the obligations hereunder as and when due or to perform any of such obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such obligation.

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.19 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement (except to the extent demand is expressly

required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.19, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.19, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.19 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.19 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.19 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.19 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the obligations of each Designated Borrower hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to

avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law or any Debtor Relief Laws.

(h) The Borrowers hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each such Person shall have a right of contribution from each other Borrower in accordance with applicable Laws. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of the Borrowers shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that the joint and several liability of a Borrower that is a Foreign Obligor with the other Borrowers would result in adverse tax consequences to the Parent Borrower or the Group Members taken as a whole, then the obligations of such Borrower shall instead be several in nature.

ARTICLE III LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.1. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) at any time and from time to time during the L/C Availability Period, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Dollar Tranche Lenders set forth in this Article III, to issue from time to time during the L/C Availability Period for the account of the Parent Borrower (or, so long as the Parent Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) letters of credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form as may be approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion and (ii) the Dollar Tranche Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder.

(c) Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Dollar Tranche Lenders), the Parent Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Subfacility in whole or in part; provided that, (i) after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the Letter of Credit Sublimit of each Letter of Credit Issuer shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

Section 3.2. Letter of Credit Requests.

(a) Whenever the Parent Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a request in the form of a Letter of Credit Application by no later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days (or such other period as may be agreed upon by the Parent Borrower and such Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be appropriately completed and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by such Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the Stated Amount and currency thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vii) the identity of the applicant; (viii) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (ix) such other matters as such Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless a Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Dollar Tranche Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 7.1 (solely with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date) and 7.2 shall not then be satisfied to the extent required thereby, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (or, so long as the Parent Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(d) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, a Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and the Parent Borrower not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Dollar Tranche Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.1(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Dollar Tranche Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.2 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

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

(f) Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Parent Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

Section 3.3. Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Dollar Tranche Lender (each such Dollar Tranche Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the BorrowerParent Borrowers shall not have repaid such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments and in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for

each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

(e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(c) is required to be returned under any circumstance (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Dollar Tranche Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Dollar Tranche Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.4. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof (such notification provided by such Letter of Credit Issuer to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent being referred to herein as an “L/C Draw Notice”). The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall have notified the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Parent Borrower will reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for any payment or disbursement made by a Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), an “Unpaid Drawing”) if (i) an L/C Draw Notice with respect to a Letter of Credit is received by the Parent Borrower (x) on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date a payment is made by a Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit being referred to herein as an “Honor Date”), then, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency or (y) after 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, then, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day following the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the first Business Day following the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, (such date on which the Parent Borrower, pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, are required to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit is referred to herein as the “Reimbursement Date”); provided, however, that if the Reimbursement Date for a drawing under a Letter of Credit is the Business Day following the Honor Date pursuant to clause (y) of this sentence then the Unpaid Drawing shall accrue interest from and including the Honor Date to the date the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed in full therefor (whether through payment by the Parent Borrower and/or the L/C Participants in accordance with Section 3.3(c)) at a rate per annum equal to (A) for the period from and including the Honor Date to but excluding the first Business Day to occur thereafter, the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (B) thereafter, at the Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.8(c)). Interest accruing on the Unpaid Drawing pursuant to the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable by the Parent Borrower promptly to the Administrative Agent, solely for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 3.4(a) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Parent Borrower, whether on or after the Reimbursement Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Parent Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Parent Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Reimbursement Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Reimbursement Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, that the Parent Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Committed Loan Notice requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Dollar Tranche Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall be Base Rate Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Parent Borrower in Dollars in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purposes of reimbursing the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Parent Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date, the full amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not been paid at such time and third, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Parent Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

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

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Parent Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

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

(iv) waiver by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer of any requirement that exists for such Letter of Credit Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Parent Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) or any waiver by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Parent Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower);

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

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

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

(viii) any adverse change in any relevant exchange rates or in the relevant currency markets generally;

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

(x) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(xi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or an equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set off against, the Parent Borrower’s obligations hereunder (or any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) (other than the defense of payment or performance).

(c) The foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Letter of Credit Issuer from liability to the Parent 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 Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by such Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). 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, a Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, 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.

The Parent 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 Parent Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Parent Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer. The Parent Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

Section 3.5. Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall either (x) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against any assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant, including any letters of credit issued by any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (y) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions, costs or expense affecting this Agreement or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual cost to any Letter of Credit Issuer or L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue or participate in any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the actual amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (iii) Connection Income Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Parent Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to a Letter of Credit issued on account of the Parent Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower))), the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Parent Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such actual additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Parent Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 3.5 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) Basel III or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (in such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s reasonable determination) is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the unsecured REIT loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers (but not necessarily all such borrowers) having provisions similar to this Section 3.5; provided that in no event shall any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer be required to disclose information of other borrowers.

Section 3.6. New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.

(a) Any Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other Letter of Credit Issuers and the Parent Borrower; provided that, if at any time any Letter of Credit Issuer assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 12.6, such Letter of Credit Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other Letter of Credit Issuers and the Parent Borrower, resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer. The Parent Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), replace any Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to such Letter of Credit Issuer. The Parent Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time. If any Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Parent Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Parent Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer (with the agreement to become a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer to be in the sole discretion of such Lender), as the case may be, or another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer accepting such appointment shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit accepting such appointment shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Letter of Credit Issuer as a Letter of Credit Issuer. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and (d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement (including the right to require the Dollar Tranche Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or the L/C Participants to fund L/C Participations pursuant to Section 3.3(c)), but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Parent Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer (at 102% of the face amount thereof) or cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to such Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) To the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in Section 3.6(a), any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Parent Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in Section 3.6(a).

Section 3.7. Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Dollar Tranche Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Dollar Tranche Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Dollar Tranche Lenders or Required Tranche Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Parent Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Parent Borrower’s pursuit of such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for 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 set forth in Section 3.4(b)), 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), or any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may have a claim against a Letter of Credit Issuer, and such Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Parent Borrower, to the extent, set forth in Section 3.4(c). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Each Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

Section 3.8. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) as of the L/C Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 10.1, (iii) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit issued by it and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid in full, in each case to the extent the applicable L/C Obligation has not already been Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof, the Parent Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (ii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any written request by the Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iii) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Additionally, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Subfacility then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral for the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Subfacility.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Parent Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein as described in Section 3.8(a), and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant to this Section 3.8(b) and in the possession of the Administrative Agent, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.8(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 relevant Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided or Liens of the type described in clauses (a) and (c) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of exchange rate fluctuations), the Parent Borrower will, promptly upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent (with such interest, to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.8(c), accruing for the benefit of the Parent Borrower). The Parent Borrower shall pay promptly following written 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 3.8 or Sections 2.16, 5.2 or 10.1 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, 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 reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting 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 12.6(b)(ii)) or there is no longer existing an Event of Default) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 3.8 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 10.1), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer(s) may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 3.9. Governing Law; Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and to the extent not prohibited by such laws, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit (or UCP if required, subject to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer’s approval). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible to the Parent Borrower for, and no Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Parent Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Letter of Credit Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Letter of Credit Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

Section 3.10. Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in any Issuer Documents shall be void.

Section 3.11. 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 of the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Parent Borrower’s Subsidiaries.

Section 3.12. Letter of Credit Issuer Reports to Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, provide the Administrative Agent with written reports from time to time, as follows:

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, L/C Participations or Swing Line Participations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans, L/C Participations or Swing Line Participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Class of Loans, L/C Participations of Swing Line Participations, as applicable, of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be

equitable, 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 of such Class, L/C Participations or Swing Line Participations, as applicable, and other amounts owing them; provided that (x) 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 (y) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by or on behalf of theany 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), (2) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.8, or (3) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, L/C Participations or Swing Line Participations to any assignee or participant other than an assignment to the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

(d) To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against theany Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of thesuch Borrower in the amount of such participation in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 12.7(b).

Section 5.4. Net Payments.

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

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable laws. If any applicable laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to paragraph (e) below, (B) such Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the

applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the BorrowerBorrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the BorrowerBorrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The BorrowerEach of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 5.4(g).

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as is practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders and Tax Documentation.

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

payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than either (x) such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(e)(ii)(A), 5.4(e)(ii)(B) or 5.4(e)(ii)(D) or (y) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the BorrowerBorrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

(B) each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) two (2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 X-0, X-0, X-0 xx X-0, as applicable, (a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a United States trade or business and (y) two (2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successors thereto);

(4) where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)); or

(5) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent 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 Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent 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 Parent

Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine 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 Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or any applicable intergovernmental agreement) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the Borrowersuch Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 5.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowereach Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agreeagrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowersuch Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying

party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 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 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 (g).

(h) FATCA. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term Lender includes each Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall survive the resignation 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 the Loan Documents.

Section 5.5. Computations of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Leverage-Based Applicable Margin.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion

thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. With respect to all Non-LIBOR Quoted Currencies, the calculation of the applicable interest rate shall be determined in accordance with market practice.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Parent Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of demand thereof by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to theany Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.8(c), 3.4(a) or 4.1(b) or under Article X. The Parent Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of all Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 5.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the BorrowerBorrowers shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If theany Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), thesuch Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate theany Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by thesuch Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; provided that to the extent lawful, the

interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest 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 Overnight Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from theany Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then thesuch Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to thesuch Borrower.

In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Lawlaw, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XI THE AGENTS

Section 11.1. Appointment.

Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender and each such Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article XI (except for Section 11.9) are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. 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 11.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 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 nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 11.3. 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, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) 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 expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), 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 Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.1 and 10.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.

Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to, provided for herein or therein, delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (v) as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

Section 11.4. Reliance by Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in, and shall not incur any liability for, relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be

necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders, all the Letter of Credit Issuers and all future holders of the Loans and the L/C Participations.

Section 11.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, a Letter of Credit Issuer or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers.

Section 11.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or upon any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or upon any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer with any credit or other information concerning

the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each other Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the BorrowerBorrowers and without limiting the obligation of the BorrowerBorrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective pro rata share (as defined below) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud; provided further, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any of Letter of Credit Issuer acting for such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, unused Revolving Credit Commitments and, except for purposes of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case at that time. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent Indemnitee for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent Indemnitee, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent Indemnitee may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share (as defined below) thereof in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 11.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders”, and the terms “Letter of Credit Issuer” and “Letter of Credit Issuers”, shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Agent in its individual capacity as such.

Section 11.9. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon notice to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) with respect to any of the BorrowerBorrowers shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 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 Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders, the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, which successor agent shall (unless (i) an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) with respect to the Parent Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) such successor agent is a Lender) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Parent Borrower). If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the Resignation Effective Date, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor agent is appointed as provided for above. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring 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 Letter of Credit Issuer 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 the 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 Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 5.4(i) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section), without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Creditor Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the other Creditor Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

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

Section 11.12. Guaranty Matters. Subject to Section 12.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Creditor Party, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. The execution and delivery of any such documents shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Creditor Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Guarantee, each Creditor Party that is a party to any such Specified Cash Management

Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Creditor Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. No Creditor Party that is a party to any such Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee Obligation by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Swap Agreements.

Liabilities”), 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 the BorrowerBorrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or by any of their Related Parties, (ii) any dispute brought solely by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, do not involve or relate to any request, act or omission by theany Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and do not involve the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as administrative agent, the Bookrunner, in its capacity as the bookrunner, or any Lead Arranger, in its capacity as a lead arranger or (iii) settlements effected without the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed unreasonably) so long as (A) the Parent Borrower has demonstrated, and such Indemnitee has acknowledged (which acknowledgment shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed unreasonably) that the Parent Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnitee for any amount that such Indemnitee may be required to pay with respect to such proceeding or (B) the proceeding presents reputation risk to such Indemnitee (in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Borrower’s consent shall not be required for the Indemnitee to settle). Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or other Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 12.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor, including documentation reasonably supporting such demand. No Loan Party nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the BorrowerBorrowers set forth in this Section 12.5. The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Indemnitee 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. This Section 12.5 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

Section 12.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the neither theany Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by theany Borrower or any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any Affiliate of any Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.6(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(a) (i)    Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more banks or financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) The Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, (ii) with respect to an assignment of a Term Loan or a Term Commitment, no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (iii) with respect to an assignment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a Revolving Credit Commitment, no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund and (iv) no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to any Person if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan or a Term Commitment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund (if made in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 12.6); and

(C) solely with respect to an assignment of a Dollar Tranche Loan or Dollar Tranche Commitment, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or the entire remaining principal outstanding balance of the assigning Lender’s Loans, in each case of any Class, the amount of the Commitments or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loan Facility, or $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) no assignment shall be made to (1) any Group Member or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, (2) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, (3) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or (4) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the Persons described in clause (1) through (3) above;

(C) (1) 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; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent;

(D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 5.4(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates 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) each partial assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (E) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans.

For the purposes of this Section 12.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person)) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its activities and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

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 agree in writing (in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to 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 Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable 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 paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 12.5); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any other party hereto against such Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment, delegation or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 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.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the BorrowerBorrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the BorrowerBorrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by theany Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 12.6(b) shall be interpreted and administered such that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 165(g), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.

(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 and any written consent to such assignment and delegation required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment or delegation shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and, following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an eligible assignee in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.6.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of theany Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions in accordance with applicable law (other than (x) a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (y) a Defaulting Lender or (z) any Group Member or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Participant”) 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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it, in each case of any Class); 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 BorrowerBorrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.7 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 or any other Loan Document; 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 that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to clause (iii), (iv), or (v) of Section 12.1(a) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant. TheEach Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and requirements) of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.4(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.4(e) 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; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the BorrowerBorrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 12.7(a) 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 Parent 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 or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The BorrowerBorrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders expressly acknowledge that the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such or as an arranger, bookrunner or other agent hereunder) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to assignments to Defaulting Lenders or natural persons and none of the BorrowerBorrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders will bring any claim to such effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Defaulting Lender or a natural person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Defaulting Lender or a natural person. This Section 12.6(c) shall be interpreted and administered such that the Loans and any participations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 165(g), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of theany Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or another central bank, and this Section 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.

(d) the BorrowerBorrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agreesagree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

Section 12.7. Adjustments; Set-off; Payments Set Aside. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Loan Document Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other

Lender, if any, in respect of the Loan Document Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Loan Document Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers provided by law, each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right, without notice to theany Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by theeach Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Loan Document Obligations becoming due and payable by theany Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Loan Document Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any tax accounts, trust accounts, withholding, fiduciary or payroll accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of theany Borrower or any other Loan Party; 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 2.16 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 Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Loan Document Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify the Parent 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. Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or any proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,

set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive Payment In Full and the termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is prohibited, illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 12.10. Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer represent the entire agreement of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

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.

Document, any Specified Cash Management Agreement or any Specified Swap Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Creditor Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Company, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Company under this Guaranty, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

Section 13.2. Rights of Creditor Parties. The Company consents and agrees that the Creditor Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Company under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Company.

Section 13.3. Certain Waivers. The Company waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of theany Borrower or any other guarantor (other than defense of payment or performance), or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Creditor Party) of the liability of the BorrowerBorrowers; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Company’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of theany Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Company’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against theany Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Creditor Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Creditor Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties (other than defense of payment or performance).

of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

Section 13.4. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Company hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Company to enforce this Guaranty whether or not theany Borrower or any other person or entity isare joined as a party.

Section 13.5. Subrogation. The Company shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until this Guaranty is terminated as provided in Section 13.11. If any amounts are paid to the Company in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Creditor Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Creditor Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 13.6. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect as expressly provided in Section 13.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of theany Borrower or the Company is made, or any of the Creditor Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Creditor Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Creditor Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

Section 13.7. Subordination. The Company hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of theany Borrower owing to the Company, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of theany Borrower to the Company as subrogee of the Creditor Parties or resulting from the Company’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. If the Creditor Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of theany Borrower to the Company shall be enforced and performance received by the Company as trustee for the Creditor Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Creditor Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Company under this Guaranty.

Section 13.8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Company or theany

Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Company immediately upon demand by the Creditor Parties.

Section 13.9. Condition of BorrowerBorrowers. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the BorrowerBorrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the BorrowerBorrowers and any such other guarantor as the Company requires, and that none of the Creditor Parties has any duty, and the Company is not relying on the Creditor Parties at any time, to disclose to the Company any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the BorrowerBorrowers or any other guarantor (the Company waiving any duty on the part of the Creditor Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

Section 13.10. Keepwell. The Company hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably with each other Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Guarantor that would otherwise not be an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Specified Swap Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 13.10 shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than Specified Cash Management Obligations, Specified Swap Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations, in each case, not then due or asserted). The Company intends that this Section 13.10 constitute, and this Section 13.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section la(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 13.11. Termination.

(a) This Guarantee shall terminate upon Payment in Full.

(b) In connection with any termination or release, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, all documents that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.
