“Administrative Agent” means JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, or any successor thereto appointed in accordance with Article VIII. Unless the context requires otherwise, the term “Administrative Agent” shall include any Affiliate of JPMCB through which JPMCB shall perform any of its obligations in such capacity and as permitted hereunder.

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

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.

For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be based on the Screen Rate (or, if the Screen Rate is not available for such one month maturity, the Interpolated Screen Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day for deposits in US Dollars with a maturity of one month. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall

If the Commitments have terminated or expired and there are no Revolving Credit Exposures, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments and/or Revolving Credit Exposures most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or ABR Loan or with respect to the facility fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Eurocurrency Spread”, “Alternate Base Rate Spread” or “Facility Fee Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the ratings by Xxxxx’x and S&P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt:

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Xxxxx’x or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is more than two Categories lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category one level below that of the higher of the two ratings, and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency.

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06    Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(j) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders.

(k) The Borrower may, by delivery of a notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each Lender) elect to extend the Maturity Date to January 30, 2019; provided that any such extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction, on and as of the Commitment Termination Date, of the conditions that (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article III, other than those representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.06 and 3.07, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Commitment Termination Date (or, to the extent any representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), but with the references in Section 3.05 to January 2, 2016, and October 1, 2016, being deemed instead to refer to the dates of the annual and quarterly reports of the Borrower on Forms 10-K and 10-Q then most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date (A) a certified copy of resolutions of the Borrower’s board of directors authorizing the extension of the Maturity Date and the continued performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder through the extended Maturity Date and (B) a certificate confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), dated the Commitment Termination Date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received the Term Out Fees for the account of each Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b).

SECTION 2.07    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

(l) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(m) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest or other amount due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(o) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.08    Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section and payment of any amounts required under Section 2.13.

(p) Prior to any prepayment of Borrowings the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) below.

(q) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or by telecopy of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency

Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof, to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

SECTION 2.09    Fees. (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee, which shall accrue at the relevant Facility Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the unused Commitments and outstanding Loans of such Lender during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the Maturity Date; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after the Maturity Date, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the Maturity Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, on any date prior to the Maturity Date on which all the Commitments shall have terminated and on the Maturity Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the Maturity Date shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(r) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date, a term out fee (a “Term Out Fee”) equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans that are not repaid on such date.

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

(t) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for its own account or, in the case of facility fees, for distribution to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION .Interest. (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(a) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued

interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10    Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(e) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(f) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (or such Borrowing shall not be made if the Borrower revokes (and in such circumstances, such Borrowing Request may be revoked notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) such Borrowing Request by telephonic notice, confirmed promptly in writing, not later than one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing); provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.11    Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except to the extent any such reserve requirement is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)subject the Administrative Agent or Lender to any Taxes (other than Taxes on payments under this Agreement and Other Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.14, and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on an after-tax basis for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(g) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding such Lender’s capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(h) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, together with supporting documentation or computations, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

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

SECTION 2.12    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for US Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, together with supporting documentation or computations, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.13    Taxes. (a) Each payment by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may so withhold and shall timely

pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(j) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(k) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of such payment or liability delivered to the 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.

(l) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(m) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as reasonably requested by the Borrower to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(i)Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. Federal withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) completed originals of (A) either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying forms), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, (B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” the applicable Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender (1) is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) is not a “10 percent shareholder” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party, (3) is not a “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) and (4) is not conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected, or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying as to the entitlement of such Foreign Lender to such exemption, or reduced rate, from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in all cases, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver

such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii)Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “US Lender”) (y) on or prior to the date such US Lender becomes a US Lender hereunder and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original accurate and duly completed United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to full exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor forms.

(iii)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(n) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (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. This Section 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 which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 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 the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

(o) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable 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. The indemnity under this Section 2.14(g) shall be paid within 10 Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or

payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account specified on Schedule 2.15 for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

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

(q) 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(r) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has

made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in US Dollars).

(s) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or paragraph 2.15(d) of this Section 2.15, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.15    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(t) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation, payments or additional interest.

SECTION 2.16    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b)the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for the Lenders to hold such Loans in accordance with their Applicable Percentages.

No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any non-Defaulting Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each non-Defaulting Lender shall have a claim against any Defaulting Lender for any losses it may suffer as a result of the operation of this Section).

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01    Organization and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, has full and adequate corporate power to carry on its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and, to the extent relevant, in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where such failure to be so licensed or qualified and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Significant Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant to such Person in its jurisdiction of organization) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has the requisite power to carry on its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09    Approvals. No authorization, consent, license, exemption, filing or registration with any court or governmental department, agency or instrumentality, or any other Person, is

necessary to the consummation of the Transactions or the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those obtained on or before the Effective Date or those the failure of which to obtain would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE V

Affirmative Covenants

Until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders as to itself and its subsidiaries that:

SECTION 5.01    Corporate Existence. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Significant Subsidiary to, preserve and maintain its corporate existence, subject to the provisions of Section 6.03.

The Borrower will maintain, preserve and keep its property necessary to the proper conduct of its business in reasonably good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted) and will from time to time make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and betterments thereto so that in the judgment of the Borrower at all times such property shall be reasonably preserved and maintained, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary so to do for property owned or used by it, except where the failure of which to maintain or preserve could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.02 shall prevent the Borrower or a Significant Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such property if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of the Subsidiary and in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders.

SECTION 5.03    Taxes. The Borrower will duly pay and discharge, and will cause each Subsidiary to pay and discharge, all material taxes, rates, assessments, fees and governmental charges upon or against the Borrower or such Subsidiary or against their respective property, in each case before the same becomes delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that (a) the same is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves under GAAP are provided therefor or (b) the same could not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Lien that would not be permitted under Section 6.02(d).

SECTION 5.04    Insurance. The Borrower will insure, and keep insured, and will cause each Subsidiary to insure, and keep insured, with reputable insurance companies, all insurable property owned by it which is of a character usually insured by companies similarly situated and operating like property.

If the Borrower is no longer required to file Form 10-Q and 10-K Reports with the SEC, the Borrower will nevertheless furnish to the Lenders at the time herein above set forth all the financial and other information that would have comprised such filings.

Information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Borrower provides notice to the Lenders that such information has been posted on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx or at the appropriate Borrower-designated website at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx or xxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx; provided that the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of the information referred to in this Section after the date delivery is required thereunder to any Lender which requests such delivery within five Business Days after such request.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, JPMCB is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

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

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and the provisions of Section 9.03 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.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (in consultation with, and (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Article VII) with the consent of, the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (in consultation with, and (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Article VII), with the consent of the Borrower, which shall not unreasonably withhold such consent and which shall, if the retiring Administrative Agent shall so request, designate and approve a successor Administrative Agent) 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. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 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 while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

None of the institutions named as Syndication Agent or Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner on the cover page of this Agreement shall, in their capacities as such, have any duties or responsibilities of any kind under this Agreement.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication by posting such Communication on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and they expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

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

(a) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, the Borrower; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase a Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) waive or change Section 2.15(b) or 2.15(c) or any other provision providing for the pro rata sharing of payments among the Lenders in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without

the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (v) waive or change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers (requested by or for the benefit of the Borrower) of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons involved directly or indirectly in the Transactions (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Excluded Taxes), including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, including the arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, it being understood that nothing herein shall relieve any Lender of liability for a breach of its agreements contained herein); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) do not result in actual out‑of‑pocket loss or expense by such Indemnitee or (B) result from the bad faith, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or the material breach by such Indemnitee of its agreements set forth in the Loan Documents as finally determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor setting forth the amount and the nature of the expense or claim, as applicable.

SECTION 9.04    Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(a) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees 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); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent and, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that (A) any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under Article VII has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment for which its consent is required under this paragraph unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received written notice thereof. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under

this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the Loans are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Lenders in and to such Loans shall be transferable only in accordance with the terms hereof. This Section 9.04(c) shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(c) 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 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. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Any Lender may, upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (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 owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 or other obligations under this Agreement or any other 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 Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC shall be deemed to utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Bank makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (if consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans (but not relating to the Borrower, except with the Borrower’s consent) to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

SECTION 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or

any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment letter and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of any commitment letter or fee letter that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signature of each of the other parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 9.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower (other than payroll accounts and trust accounts) against any of and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

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

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement

or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

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

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

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

SECTION .Confidentiality. (a) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, or any advisor of any such counterparty, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the credit facilities provided for herein or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative

Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as a prudent Person engaged in the same business or following customary procedures for such business would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.12    Non-Public Information. Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that the Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. The Borrower agrees to designate all information provided by it to the Administrative Agent that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

SECTION 9.13    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.15    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with its requirements.

SECTION 9.16    No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Lender may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, its subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transaction or communications.

OPINION OF XXXX X. XXXXXXX

[January 31], 2017

To JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent, and

each of the Lenders party to

the Credit Agreement referred

to below:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am issuing this opinion letter in my capacity as legal counsel to Xxxxxxx Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in response to the requirement in Section 4.01(b)(i) of the 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), Barclays Bank PLC, as syndication agent, and the other parties signatory thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereinafter referred to as “you”. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations which are identified in this letter and in the schedules attached to this letter, I advise you, and with respect to each legal issued addressed in this letter, it is my opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and is qualified to do business in the State of Delaware.

2. The Company has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and to consummate the Transactions.

3. The Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. No approval by the shareholders of the Company is required to authorize the Transactions.

4. The Company has duly executed and delivered the Credit Agreement.

5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not (a) violate any existing provisions of the certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or (b) result in a material breach or other violation of, or constitute a default under any agreement listed on the Schedule of Specified Agreements attached hereto (the “Specified Agreements”).

6. To my actual knowledge, no legal or governmental proceedings are pending or overtly threatened to which the Company is a party or to which its property or assets is subject that seeks to restrain, enjoin or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

7. I do not have actual knowledge that any provision in any Court Order (as defined below) would be breached or otherwise violated by the Company's execution or delivery of the Credit Agreement or by the Company's performance of any of its agreements in the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this letter, the term “Court Order” means a court or administrative order, writ, judgment or decree that names the Company and is specifically directed to the Company or its property. For purposes of this letter, I have not undertaken any investigation to identify Court Orders to which the Company may be subject.

In preparing this letter, I have relied without any independent verification upon the assumptions recited in Schedule A to this letter and upon: (i) information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities; (ii) except with respect to the opinions set forth in opinion paragraphs 6 and 7, factual information represented to be true in the Credit Agreement, and (iii) factual information I have obtained from such other sources as I have deemed reasonable. I have assumed without investigation that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this letter and that the information upon which I have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

Except as set forth in the following sentences of this paragraph, my advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal laws of the State of Illinois. Further, I express no opinion or advice as to any law or legal issue to which the Company may be subject as a result of your legal or regulatory status, your sale or transfer of any Loans or other obligations incurred under the Credit Agreement to which you are a party or interests therein or your (as opposed to any other lender's) involvement in the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The opinions in opinion paragraphs 2 through 4 and the first sentence of paragraph 5 are based upon the DGCL (without regard to judicial interpretations thereof or regulations promulgated thereunder) and the opinions in opinion paragraph 1 are based solely upon certificates issued by a governmental authority in each relevant jurisdiction and such opinions are not intended to provide any conclusion or assurance beyond that conveyed by such certificates. I advise you that issues addressed by this letter may be governed in whole or in part by other laws, but I express no opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which my opinions are based and any other laws which may actually govern.

This letter speaks on the time of its delivery on the date it bears. I do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which I did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of my opinions, or for any other reason. The attached schedules are an integral part of this letter, and any term defined in this letter or any schedule has that defined meaning wherever it is used in this letter or in any schedule to this letter.

You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without my written consent: (i) no person other than you and Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP may rely on this letter for any purpose; (ii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, persons who subsequently become Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement may rely on this letter as of the time of its delivery on the date hereof as if this letter were addressed to them.

Sincerely,

Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx

Vice Chairman, Corporate Development and

Chief Legal Officer

All statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies, in each of the jurisdictions upon whose laws my opinions are based are generally available (i.e., in terms of access and distribution following publication or other release) to lawyers practicing in that jurisdiction, and are in a format that makes legal research reasonably feasible.

14. There are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Credit Agreement.

15. The Company will not take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted under the Credit Agreement that would result in a violation of law or constitute a breach or default under any other agreements or court orders to which the Company may be subject.

16. All agreements other than the Credit Agreement with respect to which I have provided advice in this letter or reviewed in connection with this letter would be enforced as written.

17. Each person who has taken any action relevant to any of my opinions in the capacity of director or officer was duly elected to that director or officer position and held that position when such action was taken.

[FORM OF]

OPINION OF XXXXXXXX & XXXXX, LLP

Counsel for the Borrower

[January 31], 2017

To the Agent

and each of the Lenders under the

Credit Agreement (referred to below)

on the date hereof (the “Lenders”):

Re: 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated as of [January 31], 2017, by and among Xxxxxxx Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), Barclays Bank PLC, as Syndication Agent, and the other parties signatory thereto (such credit agreement herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as counsel to and at the request of the Borrower in respect of the Credit Agreement.

The opinions expressed herein are being provided pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement (with references herein to the Credit Agreement and each document defined therein meaning the Credit Agreement and each such document as executed and delivered on the date hereof). The Lenders and the Agent are sometimes referred to in this opinion letter as “you”.

In connection with the preparation of this letter, we have, among other things, reviewed executed counterparts of the Credit Agreement. The term “Organizational Documents” whenever used in the letter means the certificate of incorporation (or equivalent) and the by-laws (or equivalent) of the Borrower as in effect on the date hereof.

Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations which are identified in this opinion letter, we advise you, and with respect to each legal issue addressed in this opinion letter, it is our opinion, that:

1. The Credit Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and is enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

2. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement will not constitute a violation of any applicable provision of

existing State of New York law or United States federal statutory law or published governmental regulation applicable to the Borrower, in each case to the extent covered by this opinion letter.

3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any United States federal or New York governmental authority or body is required in order for the Borrower to obtain the right to execute and deliver, or perform its obligations under, the Credit Agreement, except for (i) those obtained or made prior to the date hereof, (ii) consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings required in connection with the ordinary course of conduct by the Borrower of its respective businesses and ownership or operation by the Borrower of its assets in the ordinary course of business (as to which we express no opinion), (iii) those that may be required under federal securities laws and regulations or state “blue sky” laws and regulations (as to which we express no opinion) or any other laws, regulations or governmental requirements which are excluded from the coverage of this opinion letter and (iv) consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings that may be required by any banking, insurance or other regulatory statutes to which you may be subject (as to which we express no opinion).

4. The Borrower is not an “investment company” required to be registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder.

5. Assuming application of the proceeds of the Loans as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and, for purposes of Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, no Lender or Agent is subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

With your consent, we have assumed for purposes of this letter and the opinions herein:

(a) that each document we have reviewed for purposes of this letter is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, and all signatures on each such document are genuine, and that all natural persons who have signed any document have the legal capacity to do so;

(b) (that (i) the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto; (ii) the Credit Agreement and every other agreement we have examined for purposes of this letter constitute valid and binding obligations of each party to that document, enforceable against each such party in accordance with their respective terms and that each such party has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to such party to the extent necessary to entitle such party to enforce such agreement (except that we make no such assumption in this paragraph (b)(ii) with respect to the Borrower); and (iii) each party to the Credit Agreement is in good standing and duly incorporated or organized under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization;

(c) there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral (other than the Credit Agreement), and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

(d) that the status of the Credit Agreement as a legally valid and binding obligation of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have opined as to such matters with respect to the Borrower.

In preparing this letter, we have relied without any independent verification upon: (i) information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities; (ii) factual information represented to be true in the Credit Agreement; and (iii) factual information provided to us in a support certificate signed by the Borrower; and we have examined the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such Organizational

Documents and other corporate records of the Borrower as we deem necessary for or relevant to our opinions. We have assumed without investigation that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

The terms “knowledge,” “actual knowledge” and “aware” whenever used in this letter with respect to our firm mean conscious awareness at the time this letter is delivered on the date it bears by the lawyers with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP at that time who spent substantial time representing the Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement (herein called our “Designated Transaction Lawyers”).

Each opinion (an “enforceability opinion”) in this letter that any particular contract is a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms is subject to: (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and judicially developed doctrines in this area such as substantive consolidation and equitable subordination; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and (iv) other commonly recognized statutory and judicial constraints on enforceability including statutes of limitations. “General principles of equity” include but are not limited to: principles limiting the availability of specific performance and injunctive relief; principles which limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; principles requiring reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing in the performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement; principles which may permit a party to cure a material failure to perform its obligations; and principles affording equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel.

Each enforceability opinion is also subject to the qualification that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement may not be enforceable in whole or in part, although the inclusion of such provisions does not render the Credit Agreement invalid, and the Credit Agreement and the law of the State of New York contain adequate remedial provisions for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby.

Each enforceability opinion is further subject to the effect of rules of law that may render guaranties or other similar instruments or agreements unenforceable under circumstances where your actions, failures to act or waivers, amendments or replacement of the Credit Agreement (i) so radically change the essential nature of the terms and conditions of the guaranteed obligations and the related transactions that, in effect, a new relationship has arisen between you and the Borrower which is substantially and materially different from that presently contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (ii) release the primary obligor, or (iii) impair the guarantor’s recourse against the primary obligor.

We render no opinion with regard to usury or other laws limiting or regulating the maximum amount of interest that may be charged, collected, received or contracted for other than the internal laws of the State of New York, and without limiting the foregoing, we expressly disclaim any opinion as to the usury or other such laws of any other jurisdiction (including laws of other states made applicable through principles of Federal preemption or otherwise) which may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

We express no opinion regarding the creation, attachment, existence, priority, effect of priority, perfection, effect of perfection or enforceability of any security interest.

Nothing contained in this letter covers or otherwise addresses any of the following types of provisions which may be contained in the Credit Agreement:

(i) provisions mandating contribution towards judgments or settlements among various parties;

(ii) waivers of benefits and rights to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law;

(iii) provisions providing for penalties, liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges, interest upon interest, or increased interest rates upon default;

(iv) provisions which might require indemnification or contribution in violation of general principles of equity or public policy, including, without limitation, indemnification or contribution obligations which arise out of the failure to comply with applicable state or federal securities laws;

(v) agreements to submit to the jurisdiction of any particular court or other governmental authority (either as to personal or subject matter jurisdiction); provisions restricting access to courts; waiver of service of process requirements which would otherwise be applicable; waiver of the right to a jury trial and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts;

(vi) choice-of-law provisions, except to the extent such choice of law of New York law as the governing law is made in compliance with the statutory laws of the State of New York;

(vii) provisions regarding arbitration;

(viii) covenants not to compete;

(ix) provisions that authorize you to set off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by you to or for the account of the Borrower; or

(x) requirements in the Credit Agreement specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing.

Except as expressly otherwise set forth in this letter, our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal laws of the State of New York or the Federal law of the United States which, in each case, in our experience is generally applicable both to general business organizations which are not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated in the Credit Agreement between the Borrower, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand (but without our having made any special investigation as to any other laws), except that we express no opinion or advice as to any law or legal issue (a) which might be violated by any misrepresentation or omission or a fraudulent act, or (b) to which the Borrower may be subject as a result of your legal or regulatory status, your sale or transfer of the Loans or interests therein or your involvement in the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers: (i) any federal or state securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations (other than our opinion in paragraph 4 regarding the Investment Company Act) or Federal Reserve Board margin regulations (other than our opinion in paragraph 5) or (ii) federal or state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, pension and employee benefit laws and regulations, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, federal and state environmental, land use and subdivision, tax, racketeering (e.g., RICO), health and safety (e.g., OSHA), and labor laws and regulations, federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning national and local emergency, possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states and criminal and civil forfeiture laws, and other federal and state statutes of general application to the extent they provide for criminal prosecution (e.g., mail fraud and wire fraud statutes).

We also express no opinion regarding any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) (the “Terrorism Executive Order”) or any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive order (collectively with the Terrorism Executive Order, the “Executive Orders”), the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56, the “Patriot Act”), any sanctions and regulations promulgated under authority granted by the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1-44, as amended from time to time, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, as amended from time to time, the Iraqi Sanctions Act, Publ. L. No. 101-513; United Nations Participation Act, 22 U.S.C. § 287c, as amended from time to time, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act, 22 U.S.C. § 2349 aa-9, as amended from time to time, The Cuban Democracy Act, 22 U.S.C. §§ 6001-10, as amended from time to time, The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2332d and 2339b, as amended from time to time, and The Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, Publ. L. No. 106-120, as amended from time to time.

We express no opinion as to what law might be applied by any other courts to resolve any issue addressed in this letter. We advise you that issues addressed by this letter may be governed in whole or in part by other laws, but we express no opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually govern.

This opinion letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which our Designated Transaction Lawyers did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason.

You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the second paragraph of this opinion letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without our written consent: (i) no person other than you may rely on this opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this opinion letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, financial institutions which subsequently become Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement may rely on this opinion letter as of the time of its delivery on the date hereof as if this letter were addressed to them.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXX & XXXXX LLP
