Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the request of any Obligor at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Availability Period, (i) each Bank agrees to issue Syndicated Letters of Credit and (ii) each Fronting Issuing Bank agrees to issue Fronted Letters of Credit, in each case denominated in Dollars for the account of such Obligor, that will not result in (w) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks, (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of such Bank exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitment of such Bank, (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Exposures of the Banks exceeding the LC Sublimit, and (z) with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit, the aggregate undrawn face amount of Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank plus the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank exceeding its Fronted LC Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Obligor may elect whether a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be a Syndicated Letter of Credit or, if any Bank has agreed in its sole discretion to become a Fronting Issuing Bank, a Fronted Letter of Credit.

Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such changes therein as may be requested by the relevant Obligor, so long as (i) the Administrative Agent determines such changes are acceptable and not adverse to the Banks or (ii) the Required Banks approve such changes.

None of the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be obligated to verify that any requested NAIC-Compliant Provisions satisfy such requirements for reserve credit.

Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as is agreed upon among the relevant Obligor and the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank at the time such Fronting Issuing Bank is appointed hereunder, which such form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued by, and be the sole obligation as issuing bank of, the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank (without impairing each Bank’s participation obligations with respect thereto). No Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to become a Fronting Issuing Bank hereunder and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any addition or removal of a Fronting Issuing Bank hereunder or change in its Fronted LC Commitment may be effected only with the agreement of such Fronting Issuing Bank and the Company (and with the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) (provided, that no such change shall increase the Commitment of any Bank).

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if an Obligor provides a written request to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Issuing Bank at least five Domestic Business Days prior to the issuance of any Fronted Letter of Credit (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Issuing Bank) that a Fronted Letter of Credit include NAIC-Compliant Provisions, specifying such NAIC-Compliant Provisions and providing a summary of the reasons therefor, then such Fronted Letter of Credit shall include such requested provisions, unless the issuance of such Fronted Letter of Credit with any such NAIC-Compliant Provisions would, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, materially increase the potential liability of the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank and the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Account Party has not otherwise agreed to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank for any such increased liability in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank. None of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Banks shall be obligated to verify that any requested NAIC-Compliant Provisions satisfy such requirements for reserve credit.

By the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Fronted Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Fronting Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of any Fronting Issuing Bank or the Banks, the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from such Fronting Issuing Bank, a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Fronted Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments; provided, that no Bank shall be required to acquire a participation in a Fronted Letter of Credit to the extent that such participation would result in the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of such Bank exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitment of such Bank. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Fronting Issuing Bank in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit, promptly upon the request of such Fronting Issuing Bank at any time from the time such LC Disbursement is made until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the relevant Obligor or (pursuant to the guarantee obligations under Section 2.01(h)) the Company or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Company or such Obligor for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the relevant Obligor or (pursuant to the guarantee obligations under Section 2.01(h)) the Company pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Fronting Issuing Bank, then to the Banks and such Fronting Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve the Subsidiary Account Party of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(f)Adjustment of Applicable Percentages. Upon (i) each addition of a new Bank hereunder and (ii) each change in the Commitment of a Bank pursuant to this Agreement then (A) in the case of each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit, with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit), the Administrative Agent shall promptly amend such Syndicated Letter of Credit to specify the Banks that are parties thereto, after giving effect to such event, and such Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages (or other applicable share if the Company has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit) as of the effective date of such amendment and (B) in the case of each outstanding Fronted Letter of Credit, the participation interest of each Bank therein shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and each Bank shall have a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit after giving effect to such event. However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Banks that amendments of outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected. Accordingly, whether or not Syndicated Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby, the Banks agree that they shall purchase and sell participations or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Banks of drawings under Syndicated Letters of Credit and payments by the Company or a Subsidiary Account Party of LC Disbursements and interest thereon are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, in each case shared by the Banks in accordance with the respective Applicable Percentages (or other applicable shares if the Company has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit) of the Banks from time to time in effect.

(g)Conditions to Issuance. None of the Fronting Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to issue Letters of Credit, so long as:

(i)Any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Fronting Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit;

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

(iii)Except as otherwise agreed by such Fronting Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $1,000,000;

(iv)Such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars;

4879-5062-7662v.12

(v)Such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(vi)If such Letter of Credit is a Fronted Letter of Credit, and any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, after giving effect to the reallocation of such Defaulting Bank’s participation among the non-defaulting Banks as set forth in Section 2.17 to the extent of their respective Commitments, unless the relevant Obligor has delivered cash collateral or the Fronting Issuing Bank has entered into other arrangements with such Obligor or such Defaulting Bank satisfactory to the Fronting Issuing Bank to eliminate the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Bank.

(h)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. The Company, as guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.01(h), shall be obligated to pay each LC Disbursement and accrued interest thereon and all other payment obligations with respect to each Letter of Credit that is issued or outstanding hereunder for the account of any Subsidiary Account Party, including amounts payable as cash collateral pursuant to Sections 2.01(d), 2.03(f), 2.17 or 6.01. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of the Subsidiary Account Parties inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiary Account Parties. The Company hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment of all reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements and all interest thereon payable by each Subsidiary Account Party pursuant to this Agreement and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by each Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement, including any fee pursuant to Section 2.10. Upon failure by any Subsidiary Account Party to pay when due any such amount, the Company shall forthwith pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement. The agreement of the Company under this clause (h) is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to all obligations of the Subsidiary Account Parties under this Agreement whenever arising, and is a guarantee of payment and is not merely a guarantee of collection. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be unconditional, absolute and continuing and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Subsidiary Account Party by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement; (iii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Subsidiary Account Party, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding affecting any Subsidiary Account Party or its assets; (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any Subsidiary Account Party, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (v) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Subsidiary Account Party for any reason of any Credit Document or Letter of Credit, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Subsidiary Account Party of any reimbursement obligation, interest or any other amount payable by it under any Credit Documents or in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder; and (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Subsidiary Account Party, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and all reimbursement obligations, interest and all other amounts payable by the Company and each Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of reimbursement obligation, interest or any other amount payable by any Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Subsidiary Account Party

4879-5062-7662v.12

or otherwise, the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Subsidiary Account Parties or any other Person. The Company shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against any Subsidiary Account Party so long as (i) any Bank has any Commitment hereunder or (ii) any amount payable hereunder remains unpaid (it being understood that this sentence shall not restrict the Company from receiving payments in respect of reimbursement obligations or other intercompany claims against any Subsidiary Account Party in the ordinary course of business).

SECTION 2.02. Issuance and Administration of Syndicated Letters of Credit. With respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit, such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, the Banks party to such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall act as the agent of each such Bank to (a) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (b) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit and (c) notify such Bank and the Company (who shall notify the relevant Subsidiary Account Party, if any) that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related LC Disbursement is to be made; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any LC Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Promptly following the issuance of any Syndicated Letter of Credit hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Bank with a copy thereof. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Bank each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be issued by the Banks hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Bank will furnish to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Administrative Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Bank to execute and deliver each Syndicated Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.03. Reimbursement for LC Disbursements, Cover, Etc. (a) Reimbursement. If any Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, the relevant Obligor shall reimburse such Bank in respect of any such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Domestic Business Day immediately following the day that the relevant Obligor receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if at any time during the Commitment Availability Period any LC Disbursement has not been reimbursed by or on behalf of the relevant Obligor prior to the applicable time, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount to be disbursed on the Domestic Business Day such reimbursement is due, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 (other than receipt of a Notice of Borrowing by the Administrative Agent), to finance such payment, and to the extent so financed, the relevant Obligor’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing; provided, further, that with respect to any unreimbursed amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 cannot be satisfied, such unreimbursed amount (together with interest) shall be immediately due and payable by the relevant Obligor without further demand.

(b)Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the relevant Obligor to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(a) and of the Company as guarantor as provided in Section 2.01(h) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and

4879-5062-7662v.12

shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company or any Subsidiary Account Party, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of such reimbursement obligations of any Obligor or party thereto shall be waived, extended or renewed, (v) any of such reimbursement obligations of any Obligor or party thereto shall be amended or otherwise modified in any respect, or any guarantee of any of such reimbursement obligations or any security therefor shall be released, substituted or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with, (vi) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks as security for any of such reimbursement obligations shall fail to be perfected, (vii) the occurrence of any Default, (viii) the existence of any proceedings of the type described in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to any other Obligor or party thereto of any of such reimbursement obligations, (ix) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of such reimbursement obligations against any other Obligor or party thereto of any of such reimbursement obligations, or (x) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.03, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Account Party hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Administrative Agent or a Bank from liability to any Obligor to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Obligors to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Obligor that are caused by (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, or (y) in the case of any Bank, its failure to make an LC Disbursement in respect of any drawing properly made under a Letter of Credit as provided in Sections 2.01(e) and 2.03(c), in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i)the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii)the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

4879-5062-7662v.12

(iii)this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(c)Disbursement Procedures. (i) The following provisions shall apply to any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after such examination (A) notify each of the Banks and the Company (who shall notify the relevant Subsidiary Account Party, if any) by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail) of such demand for payment and (B) deliver to each Bank a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Syndicated Letter of Credit. With respect to any drawing properly made under any such Syndicated Letter of Credit, each Bank will make an LC Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such LC Disbursement to be made to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Banks. The Administrative Agent will make any such LC Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for payment; provided, that the Administrative Agent will be obligated to honor drawings under any Syndicated Letter of Credit only to the extent of funds received. Promptly following any LC Disbursement by any Bank in respect of any such Syndicated Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will notify the Company (who shall notify the relevant Subsidiary Account Party, if any) of such LC Disbursement; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the relevant Obligor of its obligation to reimburse the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement, the Company of its guarantee pursuant to Section 2.01(h), or any of the relevant Subsidiary Account Party’s or the Company’s obligations hereunder.

(ii)The following provisions shall apply to any Fronted Letter of Credit. The applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Fronted Letter of Credit. The applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Company (who shall notify the relevant Subsidiary Account Party, if any) by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Fronting Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the relevant Subsidiary Account Party or the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Fronting Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(d)Interim Interest. If any LC Disbursement is made, then, unless such LC Disbursement has been reimbursed in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made (without regard for when notice thereof is given), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the relevant Obligor reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Borrowings at such time.

(e)Provision of Cover. In the event the Company or the Subsidiary Account Parties shall have provided (or be required to provide) cash collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.01(d), Section 2.17, Section 6.01, Section 2.11(d), Section 2.18(c)(i) or clause (f) hereof, the Administrative Agent will establish a separate cash collateral account

4879-5062-7662v.12

(the “Collateral Account”), which may be a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in New York (the “NY UCC”)), in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a securities account, in respect of which the Administrative Agent is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC)) into which there shall be deposited from time to time such amounts paid to the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the applicable LC Exposure. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of the Obligations and all reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, all interest thereon, and all other obligations of the Obligors under the Credit Documents whether or not then outstanding or due and payable (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Secured Obligations”), each Obligor hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Secured Obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section 2.03(e). Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the Collateral Account. At any time, and from time to time, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by the Required Banks in their sole discretion, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Collateral Account to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations due and payable. If at any time (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations then due have been paid in full but Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Company, deliver to the relevant Obligor, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. When all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated and the Commitments have terminated, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company, for account of the relevant Obligor, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account.

(f)Without limiting clause (z) in the first paragraph of Section 2.01(a), if, at any time, the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn face amount of Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank plus (ii) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit of any Fronting Issuing Bank exceeds its Fronted LC Commitment, the relevant Obligor shall immediately, first, repay any unreimbursed LC Disbursements owing to such Fronting Issuing Bank and, second, either provide cash collateral in the amount equal to 102% of such excess above such Fronting Issuing Bank’s Fronted LC Commitment or cause one or more of the outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank to be cancelled, reduced or cancelled and reissued as one or more Syndicated Letters of Credit, so that such excess above such Fronted LC Commitment is eliminated.

SECTION 2.04. Loans. At any time and from time to time during the Commitment Availability Period each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans in Dollars to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.04 in amounts such that (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks and (y) the aggregate

4879-5062-7662v.12

outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of such Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such Bank. Each Borrowing (i) of Term SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000 and, in each case, shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Base Rate Borrowing may be in an amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(a). Within the foregoing limits, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.04, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Commitment Availability Period under this Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.05. Notice of Borrowings; Interest Elections. (a) The Company shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (x) on the date of each Base Rate Borrowing by the Company and (y) two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each Term SOFR Borrowing by the Company, specifying:

(i)the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing,

(ii)the aggregate amount (in Dollars) of such Borrowing,

(iii)whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans,

(iv)in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period,

(v)whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be LC Reimbursement Loans; and

(vi)certifying that all other conditions in Section 3.01(b) and (c) have been satisfied.

(b)Interest Elections. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this subsection (b). The Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Banks holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.05(a) if the Company were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.04:

4879-5062-7662v.12

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Bank of the details thereof and of such Bank’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. If the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before 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 continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. 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 Banks, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.02. Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company.

(b)Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) (or 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of any Base Rate Borrowing) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 2.06) make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Company at any account of the Company specified in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Company that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(c)If any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder to the Company on a day on which the Company or any Subsidiary Account Party is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement from such Bank, and if requested in writing to do so by the Company, then such Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 2.06, or remitted by the Company to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.13, as the case may be.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.06 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Company severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Company, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.09 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)In the event that the Company has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election and thereafter the Company requests a Loan, such Loan shall, subject to the other terms and provisions hereof, be advanced, first, by those Non-NAIC Approved Banks that do not participate in the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of one or more Syndicated Letters of Credit as the result of such Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election until, after giving effect thereto, the Credit Exposure owing to the Banks are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and, second, by the Banks (including such Non-NAIC Approved Banks) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of each Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such Bank notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.06(e).

SECTION 2.07. Evidence of Loans. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder, and setting forth the Commitments of such Bank.

(b)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain, at an office located within the United States, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, in accordance with its customary practices, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clear error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank (as to its own entries) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purpose of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)The failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records required by this Section 2.07 or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Any Bank may request that the Loans of such Bank to the Company be evidenced by a single Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate

4879-5062-7662v.12

modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences Loans of the relevant Type, payable by the Company to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns). Thereafter, once recorded in and to the extent consistent with the information contained in the Register, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.06) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, to such payee and its registered assigns). For any Loan evidenced by a Note pursuant to this clause (d), any transfer of a Note must be recorded in the Register in order to be effective.

SECTION 2.08. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan shall mature, and the Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay the unpaid principal of each Loan (together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then payable under this Agreement) on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.09. Interest Rates of Loans. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall accrue and be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Loans shall be paid in full).

(b)Each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable (i) for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term SOFR Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and other amounts hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clauses (a) and (b) above or elsewhere in any Credit Document, effective immediately upon (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under clauses (a)(i), (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 or (ii) the affirmative vote of the Required Banks during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) shall bear interest at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Obligations from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable; provided, that at any time that the circumstances described in Section 8.01(a) shall exist, any overdue principal of Term SOFR Loans bearing interest in accordance with this Section 2.09(d) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee (“Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, on the actual daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date that the Commitments terminate. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided,

4879-5062-7662v.12

that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall be payable on demand.

(b)Each Obligor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee with respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit issued for its account, which shall accrue at the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission on the average daily aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any Syndicated LC Exposure. Letter of Credit fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable in arrears on such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date to occur after the Effective Date; provided, that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall be payable on demand.

(c)Each Obligor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Fronting Issuing Bank a fronting fee with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank for such Xxxxxxx’s account, which shall accrue at a rate per annum agreed in writing between the Company and such Fronting Issuing Bank (and notified to the Administrative Agent) on the average daily aggregate undrawn amount of each such Fronted Letters of Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance thereof to but excluding the later of the expiry date thereof and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure thereunder. Fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date to occur after the Effective Date; provided, that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall be payable on demand.

(d)Each Obligor agrees to pay, on demand, to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Syndicated Letters of Credit issued for its account) and each Fronting Issuing Bank (with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by it for such Obligor’s account), in each case for its own account, all commissions, charges, costs and expenses with respect to the issuance, amendment and extension of each such Letter of Credit and drawings and other transactions relating thereto in amounts reasonably and customarily charged from time to time in like circumstances by the Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or, as may be separately agreed from time to time by the Company and the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(e)The Company agrees to pay all fees owing to the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and any Bank pursuant to the Fee Letters in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

(f)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, as applicable, to the Banks entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.11. Termination, Reduction or Increase of Commitments; Mandatory Prepayments. (a)Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Domestic Business Days prior to such termination or reduction, without premium or penalty, terminate at any time, or proportionately and permanently reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000 (or such other amount that represents the aggregate amount of Commitments at such time), the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided that, after

4879-5062-7662v.12

giving effect to such termination or any such reduction, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks. Upon receipt of such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such reduction (if such notice is a notice of reduction) and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company; provided, that any such notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events (including the effectiveness of new credit facilities) and may be revoked by the Company upon the non-occurrence of such event by written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the date specified for such termination or reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.

(c)The Company shall have the right, at any time after the Effective Date and from time to time prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder by an aggregate amount of up to $500,000,000, by causing one or more Additional Commitment Banks (which may include any existing Bank, provided that no existing Bank shall be obligated to increase its Commitment) to provide a (or, in the case of an existing Bank, to increase its) Commitment (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase”); provided, that (i) no Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to become an Additional Commitment Bank and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank, (ii) each Additional Commitment Bank shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall provide a Commitment (or, if such Additional Commitment Bank is an existing Bank, pursuant to which its Commitment shall be increased), (iii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, such Commitment of any Additional Commitment Bank which is not an existing Bank shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000 and (iv) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, each Commitment Increase shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000. Each such Additional Commitment Bank shall enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall, as of the effective date of such Commitment Increase (which shall be a Domestic Business Day and, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, on which no issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit is scheduled to occur), provide a Commitment (or, if any such Additional Commitment Bank is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment in the amount specified therein) and (if not an existing Bank) become a Bank hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless:

(i)the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice of any such increase at least three Domestic Business Days prior to the relevant effective date of such Commitment Increase;

(ii)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such effective date; and

(iii)each of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Subsidiary Account Parties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04(d) and 4.05) shall be true and correct on and as of such effective date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

Each notice under clause (i) above shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Company as to the matters specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. On the effective date of each Commitment Increase, the Company shall simultaneously (i) prepay in full the outstanding Loans (if any) held by the Banks immediately prior to giving effect to the relevant Commitment

4879-5062-7662v.12

Increase, (ii) if the Company shall have so requested in accordance with this Agreement, borrow new Loans from all Banks (including, if applicable, any new Banks) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (iii) pay to the Banks the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.14.

(d)If on any day the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks, the Company shall promptly prepay Loans (or, if no Loans are outstanding, cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(e)), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least one Domestic Business Day (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the date of prepayment, without premium or penalty, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing made to the Company in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or such other amount that represents the total amount of Base Rate Borrowings outstanding), by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(b)The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Domestic Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, without premium or penalty (but including any amounts owed pursuant to Section 2.14), prepay any Term SOFR Borrowing made to the Company in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or such other amount that represents the total amount of Term SOFR Borrowings outstanding), by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with (x) accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and (y) all losses and expenses (if any) relating thereto which are (i) determined pursuant to Section 2.14 and (ii) notified to the Company by the relevant Bank at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment; provided, that the failure of any Bank to so notify the Company of the amount of any such loss or expense shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay the same.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in the relevant Borrowing being prepaid. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company; provided, that any such notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events (including the effectiveness of new credit facilities) and may be revoked by the Company upon the non-occurrence of such event by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for such prepayment.

SECTION 2.13. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) The Obligors shall make or cause to be made each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether reimbursement of LC Disbursements, principal of or interest on the Loans, fees, amounts under Article VIII or otherwise) or under any other Credit Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off 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 Domestic Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Credit Document, and except that payments pursuant to Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall be made directly to the

4879-5062-7662v.12

Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Domestic Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as applicable), the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as applicable) and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit or interest thereon, principal of or interest on the Loans and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder in respect of such Letters of Credit or Loans (as applicable), pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to the Banks, and (ii) second, to pay such unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal in respect of Loans (as applicable) then due hereunder, pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal of Loans then due to the Banks.

(c)Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, in clause (e) hereof): (i) each reimbursement of LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit and each payment of principal in respect of Loans shall be for account of the Banks (other than Defaulting Banks), pro rata in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal of Loans (as the case may be) then due and payable to the Banks (other than Defaulting Banks); (ii) each termination or reduction of the amount of Commitments under Section 2.11 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; and (iii) each payment of interest, Commitment Fees and letter of credit fees shall be for account of the Banks (other than Defaulting Banks), pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest, Commitment Fees and letter of credit fees (as the case may be) then due and payable to the Banks (other than Defaulting Banks).

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or relevant Subsidiary Account Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Banks hereunder that the Company or such Subsidiary Account Party will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company or such Subsidiary Account Party made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due. In such event, if the Company or such Subsidiary Account Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank 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 higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules for interbank compensation.

(e)If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.01(e), 2.03(c), 2.06(d), 2.13(d), 2.16(b), 7.07 or shall otherwise be a Defaulting Bank, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations to it or any such Fronting Issuing Bank under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding

4879-5062-7662v.12

obligations of such Bank under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

(f)With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Banks hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Company has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Company (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(f) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Section 2.13(f) are solely agreements among the Banks and the Administrative Agent and shall not impose any obligations on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Company makes any payment of principal with respect to any Term SOFR Loan (pursuant to Articles VI or VIII or otherwise), or converts any Term SOFR Loan, on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the end of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.09(d), or if the Company fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term SOFR Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Sections 2.05(a), 2.05(b) or 2.12(b), as applicable, the Company shall reimburse each Bank within 30 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Base Rate (including the Base Rate determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.16. Provisions Relating to NAIC Approved Banks. (a) Each Bank confirms that it is, as of the date of this Agreement, listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List. Each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in order to, at all times, (i) be listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List or (ii) maintain in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Bank which is listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List to act as a Confirming Bank for such Bank in respect of its obligations under the Syndicated Letters of Credit (which Bank, prior to entering into such Confirming Bank Agreement, shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Company and the Administrative Agent, and such consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If any Bank shall enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement hereunder at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to the Company and the Administrative Agent. If at any time any Bank shall cease to be a NAIC Approved Bank, such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and forthwith comply with its obligations under this Section 2.16.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(b)If at any time any Bank shall not be listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List and shall not have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Bank which is so listed (provided such Bank is not a Defaulting Bank at such time), such Bank shall be obligated to promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and provide cash collateral for its LC Exposure on the following terms:

(i)With respect to any then existing Fronted LC Exposure of such Bank, at the option of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or the relevant Obligor, such Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank an amount in cash equal to 100% of the maximum amount of such Non-NAIC Approved Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Fronted LC Exposure being herein called “Fronted XX Xxxx Collateral”). Upon receipt of any Fronted XX Xxxx Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Fronted XX Xxxx Collateral), the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank will establish one or more cash collateral accounts (which, in each case, may be a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the NY UCC)) in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank (and, in the case of a securities account, in respect of which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC)) (each such cash collateral account, a “Fronted LC Collateral Account”) and deposit therein the relevant portion of such Fronted XX Xxxx Collateral (including the relevant portion of any additional cash collateral provided by such Bank in respect of its additional Fronted LC Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank to secure such Bank’s obligations in respect of the Fronted LC Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank and such Bank hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to each Fronted LC Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in a Fronted LC Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank as provided herein.

(ii)With respect to any then existing Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, such Bank and/or the relevant Obligor may request that another Bank act as a Confirming Bank for (and to enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement with) such Bank with respect to such Bank’s then existing Syndicated LC Exposure (and such additional Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, to the extent provided in clause (iii) below); provided that (A) no Bank shall be obligated to so act as a Confirming Bank and (B) any agreement of such Bank to so act as a Confirming Bank shall be on such terms and conditions and subject to payment of such fees as shall be agreed among such Confirming Bank, the Bank that is no longer a NAIC Approved Bank, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Obligor (including, to the extent required by the Confirming Bank or the relevant Obligor, the requirement that such Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the maximum amount of such Syndicated LC Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Syndicated LC Exposure being herein called the “Syndicated XX Xxxx Collateral”)). Upon receipt of any Syndicated XX Xxxx Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Syndicated XX Xxxx Collateral) by the Administrative Agent from such Bank, the Administrative Agent will establish a cash collateral account (of the type described in clause (i) above) (the “Syndicated LC Collateral Account” and, together with each Fronted LC Collateral Account, each a “LC Collateral Account”) and deposit therein such

4879-5062-7662v.12

Syndicated XX Xxxx Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided by such Bank in respect of its additional Syndicated LC Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the Confirming Bank to secure such Bank’s obligations to the Confirming Bank under such Confirming Bank Agreement in respect of such Bank’s Syndicated LC Exposure and such Bank hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Confirming Bank, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Syndicated LC Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Syndicated LC Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.

(iii)If at any time thereafter the Obligor shall request additional Letters of Credit and at such time such Bank shall not be a NAIC Approved Bank (provided such Bank is not a Defaulting Bank), upon the request of any applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, applicable Confirming Bank or the relevant Obligor, as applicable, such Bank shall provide additional cash collateral in respect of its Applicable Percentage of the maximum amount of the LC Exposure under such Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (provided that, with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank and with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Confirming Bank) and, upon receipt of such collateral, the Fronting Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or such other party shall deposit, hold and apply such collateral as Fronted XX Xxxx Collateral or Syndicated XX Xxxx Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with this subsection (b).

(iv)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in any LC Collateral Account established under this subsection (b) shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. Amounts on deposit in each LC Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion or, in the case of any Fronted LC Collateral Account, as the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank for whose benefits the funds therein have been pledged may direct the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Syndicated LC Collateral Account, as the applicable Confirming Bank(s) may direct the Administrative Agent. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the relevant LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the Person for which such funds are being held. At any time, and from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by (in the case of any Fronted LC Collateral Account) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank in its sole discretion or (in the case of the Syndicated LC Collateral Account) the applicable Confirming Bank (or the relevant Obligor if such Non-NAIC Approved Bank does not have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement) in its sole discretion, as the case may be, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to such LC Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied the balances therein to the payment of such Bank’s obligations then due and payable which are secured by such balances.

(v)If at any time the Letters of Credit in respect of any LC Exposure for which cash collateral has been provided by such Non-NAIC Approved Bank under this subsection (b) shall no longer exist, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Non-NAIC Approved Bank, deliver to such Non-NAIC Approved Bank (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, applicable Confirming Bank or the relevant Obligor, as applicable), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant LC Collateral Account.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(vi)If at any time such Bank shall have become a NAIC Approved Bank, subject, in the case of any Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, to (x) the termination of the Confirming Bank Agreement entered into between the applicable Confirming Bank and such Bank releasing the Confirming Bank’s obligation thereunder to act as a Confirming Bank for such Bank and (y) with the consent of the beneficiary under each Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit), the amendment of each such Syndicated Letter of Credit by the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Bank’s liability thereunder (and terminate the applicable Confirming Bank’s liability thereunder in its capacity as such Confirming Bank), the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Bank, deliver to such Bank (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank (with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure), the applicable Confirming Bank (with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure)) or the relevant Obligor (with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure for which the Non-NAIC Approved Bank does not have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant LC Collateral Account.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any Bank shall be a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, the Company may, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank, at the expense of such Bank, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by such Bank to any Person that shall be on the NAIC Approved Bank List and such Person shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Bank, if it, in its sole discretion, accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided that such Non-NAIC Approved Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements (including participations therein), 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 LC Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts) (provided that the Company or Subsidiary Account Party may deduct, or cause such assignee to deduct, from amounts payable by them or it, as applicable, to such Bank hereunder all fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Subsidiary Account Party in effecting such assignment).

(d)The relevant Obligor may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (d), request that all Syndicated Letters of Credit that are requested to be issued or that are outstanding during the period that such Non-NAIC Approved Bank (i) does not have a Confirming Bank and (ii) continues to be a Bank hereunder be issued, renewed, extended or amended, as applicable, by the Banks on an adjusted pro rata basis that excludes the Commitment of such Non-NAIC Approved Bank, provided that, if the relevant Obligor elects to request that any Syndicated Letter of Credit be issued, renewed, extended or amended on an adjusted pro rata basis, (i) such issuance, renewal, extension or adjustment shall be made only to the extent that it would not cause the Credit Exposure owing to any Bank to exceed such Bank’s Commitment and (ii) thereafter, if the Company elects to request a Loan, such Loan shall be advanced as provided in Section 2.06(e).

(e)To the extent that any Bank is acting as a Confirming Bank on behalf of a Non-NAIC Approved Bank for any period in accordance with this Section 2.16, the rate at which such Non-NAIC Approved Bank’s letter of credit fee accrues pursuant to Section 2.10(b) during such period shall be reduced by an amount to be agreed between such Non-NAIC Approved Bank and the applicable Confirming Bank, and the applicable Confirming Bank shall be entitled

4879-5062-7662v.12

to receive the amount by which such fee was reduced from the relevant Obligor as a letter of credit fee for its own account.

SECTION 2.17. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a)Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

(b)the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.05); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Bank in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank affected thereby;

(c)with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure (if any):

(i)all or any part of the Fronted LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than such Fronted LC Exposure that is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.16(b)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitments and (y) such reallocation does not, as to any Non-Defaulting Bank, cause such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment (and, if such reallocation can only partially be effected, such reallocation shall be made ratably among the then outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by the Fronting Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent);

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Obligors shall within one Domestic Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, if the Defaulting Bank has not, at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 2.17(e), assigned its interests, rights and obligations hereunder to another Person that is not a Defaulting Bank, (a) cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank only the Obligors’ obligations in respect thereof corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure thereunder (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(e) for so long as such Fronted LC Exposure is outstanding or (b) to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant Fronted Letter of Credit, cause one or more of the outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit issued hereunder to be cancelled, reduced or cancelled and reissued in accordance with Section 2.01 in a reduced face amount, so that such Non-NAIC Approved Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure is eliminated (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above);

(iii)if the Obligors cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Obligors shall not be required to pay any letter of credit fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(c) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure during the period and to the extent that such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

4879-5062-7662v.12

(iv)if the Fronted LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages;

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure is not reallocated, cash collateralized or assigned pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment that was utilized by such Fronted LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(c) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Fronting Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such Fronted LC Exposure is reallocated, cash collateralized or assigned in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) above;

(vi)so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Fronting Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding Fronted LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Obligors in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein); and

(vii)if (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Bank shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Fronting Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, such Fronting Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Bank, satisfactory to such Fronting Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder;

(d)with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure (if any):

(i)letter of credit fees shall cease to accrue on such Defaulting Bank’s Syndicated LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(b), except to the extent (A) such Defaulting Bank’s Syndicated LC Exposure is the subject of a Confirming Bank Agreement (in which case, such Letter of Credit fees shall be for the account of the applicable Confirming Bank) or (B) as set forth in clause (iii) below;

(ii)with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit), (x) all or any part of the Syndicated LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than any such Syndicated LC Exposure for which a Confirming Bank is then acting as a Confirming Bank for such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(b)) shall be

4879-5062-7662v.12

reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (I) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitments and (II) such reallocation does not, as to any Non-Defaulting Bank, cause such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment and (y) each such Syndicated Letter of Credit (other than any Syndicated Letter of Credit in respect of which a Confirming Bank is then acting as a Confirming Bank for such Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(b)) shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to specify the Banks that are parties to such Syndicated Letter of Credit (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, such Defaulting Bank), after giving effect to such event, and such Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages as of the effective date of such amendment;

(iii)if the Syndicated LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the letter of credit fees payable to the Banks with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and

(iv)the Syndicated LC Exposures of the Banks in respect of any newly issued Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with clause (ii) above (and such Defaulting Bank shall have no obligation under each such Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent such Syndicated LC Exposures in respect thereof are so reallocated);

(e)(i) the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply or hold payments for the account of such Defaulting Bank as set forth in Section 2.13(e) and until such time as the readjustments with respect to such Defaulting Bank are effected pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 2.17, the Company may, upon notice to such Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Defaulting Bank, at the expense of such Defaulting Bank, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by such Defaulting Bank to any Person that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if it accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided that (x) such Defaulting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements (including participations therein), 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 LC Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) (provided that the Company may deduct, or cause such assignee to deduct, from amounts payable by them or it, as applicable, to such Bank hereunder all fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in effecting such assignment) and (y) concurrently with such assignment, to the extent any LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank theretofore shall have been reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Credit Exposures of the Banks (including, after giving effect to such assignment, such assignee) shall be readjusted (and payments made by the relevant parties) in a manner consistent with subsection (f) of this Section 2.17, such that, after giving effect thereto, the Banks (including such assignee, but not such Defaulting Bank) shall hold the Credit Exposures then outstanding in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages and (ii) to the extent the GBSA Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Company may terminate the Commitments of the GBSA Bank and repay the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder as of such termination; and

4879-5062-7662v.12

(f)in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and (to the extent there shall be Fronted Letters of Credit then outstanding) each Fronting Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall cease to be a Defaulting Bank and the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall be readjusted as follows:

(i)with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure then outstanding, such Fronted LC Exposure shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and such Bank shall purchase at par such of the unreimbursed LC Disbursements then outstanding (if any) of the other Banks in respect of such Fronted LC Exposure as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such LC Disbursements in accordance with its Applicable Percentage;

(ii)with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure then outstanding, (x) with the consent of the beneficiary under each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit) and to the extent such Syndicated Letter of Credit was theretofore amended or issued pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) or (d)(iv), as applicable, of this Section 2.17 to reflect the exclusion of such Bank’s Commitment, (I) each such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to specify the Banks (including such Bank) that are then parties to such Syndicated Letter of Credit and such Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages, in each case reflecting the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment, as of the effective date of such amendment and (II) if such Syndicated Letter of Credit was not theretofore amended pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 2.17 to reflect the exclusion of such Bank’s Commitment thereunder, but instead the face amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit was increased or a new Letter of Credit was issued hereunder in favor of the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in order to provide such beneficiary with an aggregate undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit from the Non-Defaulting Banks (including, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Issuing Banks) in the amount required by such beneficiary, the amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit or new Letter of Credit shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to decrease the amount thereof, or the Obligors shall arrange for such new Letter of Credit to be surrendered by such beneficiary to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, in order to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment pursuant to the amendment to such Syndicated Letter of Credit under sub-clause (I) above (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Obligors shall not be required to pay any letter of credit fees to such Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b) until such amendments with respect to such Letters of Credit shall have become effective); (y) (subject to clause (x) being satisfied with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit) the Syndicated LC Exposure of the Banks with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment; and (z) (subject to clause (x) being satisfied with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit) such Bank shall purchase at par such of the unreimbursed LC Disbursements then outstanding (if any) of the other Banks with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such LC Disbursements in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; and

(iii)with respect to any Loans then outstanding, such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

4879-5062-7662v.12

Subject to Section 9.16, no readjustment under this Section 2.17(f) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

SECTION 2.18. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) The Company may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Banks) not less than 30 days, or more than 90 days, prior to the then existing Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Banks extend the Maturity Date for an additional period of one year with respect to all or part of their respective Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.18; provided, that in no case shall the Maturity Date, as so extended, be later than February 24, 2030. Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the date to which the Maturity Date is sought to be extended, (ii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and Applicable Margin to be applied in determining the interest payable on Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Banks in respect of that portion of their Commitments (and related Loans) extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date), and (iii) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request, provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to Section 9.05 other than that of the Required Banks shall become effective unless such other approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Company, each Bank shall have the right to agree to or decline the extension of the Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Bank agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a “Consenting Bank” and each Bank not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a “Declining Bank”), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment of such Bank with respect to which such Bank agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Company (it being understood that any Bank that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall be deemed to be a Declining Bank). If a Bank elects to extend only a portion of its then existing Commitment, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Bank in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Bank in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment. If Banks constituting the Required Banks shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments constituting a majority of the aggregate Commitments, then, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Banks, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Commitments and Loans of the Consenting Banks (including interest and fees (including Letter of Credit fees) payable in respect thereof), shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals other than those of the Required Banks having been obtained) become effective.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.06 and 9.06, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Bank (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Bank’s Commitment that it has not agreed to extend) with a Bank or other financial institution that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Bank shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Bank in respect of the Commitment assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(c)If a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder, on the Existing Maturity Date:

(i)the Company shall (A) make such prepayments of Loans or (B) terminate or provide cash collateral for such Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(e), in each case as shall be required in order that, upon giving effect to the termination and permanent reductions of the Commitments of Declining Banks and Consenting Banks, as applicable, pursuant to clause (ii) below, and all payments to such Declining Banks and Consenting Banks, as applicable, the aggregate Credit Exposures do not exceed the aggregate Commitments; and

(ii)the Commitment of each Declining Bank shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, terminate, and the Company shall repay all the Loans of such Declining Bank, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Bank hereunder (accordingly, the Commitment of any Consenting Bank shall, to the extent such Commitment exceeds the amount set forth in the notice delivered by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, be permanently reduced by the amount of such excess, and the Company shall prepay the proportionate part of the Loans of such Consenting Bank, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Existing Maturity Date and all fees and other amounts payable in respect thereof on or prior to the Existing Maturity Date).

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless, on the Extension Effective Date, the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to the making of a Loan being deemed to be references to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer.

(e)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.18, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments and Loans and Letters of Credit of the Consenting Banks effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate Section 2.13(b), clause (ii) of Section 2.13(c), Section 9.04 or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Banks or all affected Banks under Section 9.05.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Bank then serving (or whose designated Affiliate is then serving) as a Fronting Issuing Bank, (i) the Fronted LC Commitment of such Bank (or such designated Affiliate) shall not be extended in connection with an extension of such Bank’s Commitment unless so specified by such Bank (or such designated Affiliate), in its capacity as Fronting Issuing Bank, in a written notice to the Company and (ii) no Fronting Issuing Bank that is a Declining Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend a Fronted Letter of Credit such that such Fronted Letter of Credit expires later than five Domestic Business Days prior to the Existing Maturity Date.

(g)The Company and the Administrative Agent may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has been approved by the Required Banks and become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.18.

4879-5062-7662v.12

give rise to any Obligor or Material Subsidiary owing Material Unpaid Derivative Product Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $150,000,000, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), except where such non-payment has been cured or waived prior to the exercise of any remedies under this Article VI (including, but not limited to, the termination of the Commitments hereunder);

(g)any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking rehabilitation, dissolution, conservation, liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, dissolver, conservator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing;

(i)any of the following events or conditions shall occur, which, in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to involve possible Taxes, penalties and other liabilities in an aggregate amount that results in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to pay when due any amount or amounts which it shall have become liable to pay under Title IV of ERISA; (ii) notice of intent to terminate a Plan shall be filed under Title IV of ERISA by any member of the ERISA Group, any plan administrator therefor or any combination of the foregoing; (iii) the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate, to impose liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of, or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer, any Plan; (iv) a condition shall exist by reason of which the PBGC would reasonably be expected to obtain a decree adjudicating that any Plan must be terminated; or (v) there shall occur a complete withdrawal, as described in Section 4203 of ERISA, or partial withdrawal, as described in Section 4205 of ERISA, from, or a default, within the meaning of Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, with respect to, one or more Multiemployer Plans;

Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 7.04. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 7.05. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Bank for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Bank stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and specifying the nature thereof. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible to any Bank for or have any duty to any Bank to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or the issuance, renewal, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Obligor; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith; (v) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (vi) the financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (vii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder

4879-5062-7662v.12

unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

SECTION 7.08. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, 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 Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Agent. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent xxx resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint from among the Banks a successor Administrative Agent; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; provided that so long as no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with the written consent of the Company and by notice in writing to such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the written consent of the Company, appoint a successor.

(c)Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall xxxxxxxxx succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 7.10. Delegation to Affiliates. The Company and the Banks agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles VII and IX.

SECTION 7.11. Joint Lead Arrangers and Other Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agents listed on the cover page of this Agreement shall have any

right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in its capacity as such, except in its respective capacity, if any, as a Bank.

SECTION 7.12. Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Bank, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Company at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Bank receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Bank in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Bank irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Bank promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Bank comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Section 7.12 are solely agreements among the Banks and the Administrative Agent and shall not impose any obligations on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 7.13. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(iii)(A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of

4879-5062-7662v.12

PTE 84- 14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent or the applicable Joint Lead Arranger, as applicable, in each case in its sole discretion, and such Bank.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Obligor, that none of the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.01. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 8.01(b), and the circumstances under Section 8.01(b)(i) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Banks described in Section 8.01(a)(ii), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted

4879-5062-7662v.12

such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

(b)Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Banks, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Banks (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided, that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company, that will continue to provide such interest period of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to Section 8.01(b)(ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Credit Document with, Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the “Successor Rate).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Sections 8.01(b)(i) or 8.01(b)(ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 8.01 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to

4879-5062-7662v.12

any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Domestic Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Required Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Banks object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Bank of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

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

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero percent (0.00%), the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

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

For purposes of this Section 8.01, those Banks that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Banks.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. In the event that the circumstances described in Section 8.01(b) do not apply, if, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, continue, maintain or fund its Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank

4879-5062-7662v.12

shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Company shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Loan which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Company shall borrow Base Rate Loans in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Loans, of the other Banks, which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR), and such Bank shall make such Base Rate Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing and despite the illegality for such Bank to make, maintain or fund Term SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to Term SOFR, that Bank shall remain committed to make Base Rate Loans and shall be entitled to recover interest at the Base Rate (in each case without giving effect to clause (c) of the definition thereof).

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the date hereof, in the case of any Loan or any obligation to make Loans or in the case of any Letter of Credit or any obligation to issue, participate in, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) any other condition affecting its Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Loans or its obligation to issue or participate in Letters of Credit, any outstanding Letters of Credit or reimbursement claims in respect of LC Disbursements (other than Excluded Taxes and Taxes indemnified under Section 8.05) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost or expense to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan or of issuing, participating in or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under other Credit Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)If any Bank shall have determined that, after the Effective Date (subject to Section 8.03(d) below), the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for

4879-5062-7662v.12

such reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.03, the Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to Section 8.03(a) or (b) for any amounts incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Company of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, to the extent such Bank had knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for compensation and its effects on the rate of return on capital in respect of this facility prior to such 270 day period; provided that, if the change in law giving rise to any such increased cost or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c)Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and, in reasonable detail, such Bank’s computation of such amount or amounts, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have gone into effect after the Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; provided that no Bank shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 as a result of increased cost or reduced return resulting from Basel III or the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Bank to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that, with respect to such increased cost or reduced return, such Bank has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).

SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Loans Based on SOFR or Term SOFR. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or continue Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Sections 8.03(a) or 8.05 and the Company shall, by at least five (5) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 8.04 shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

(a)all Loans which would otherwise be made, or continued, by such Bank as Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR shall be made instead as, or converted into, Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Loans, of the other Banks, which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR), and

(b)after each of its Loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

SECTION 8.05. Taxes. (a) For purposes of Section 8.03 and this Section 8.05, the following terms have the following meanings:

4879-5062-7662v.12

“FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version of such sections that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof and any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among governmental authorities and implementing such Sections of the Code.

“Excluded Taxes” means, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) any Taxes imposed on its net income (however denominated), and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (ii) any Taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income (however denominated), or any similar Taxes imposed on it, by reason of any present or former connection between it and the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) imposing such Taxes, other than connections arising solely as a result of the Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document, or sold or assigned any interest in any Loan or Credit Document, (iii) in the case of each Bank, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Bank with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Bank acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Company under Section 8.06) or such Bank changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8.05, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Bank’s assignor immediately before such Bank became a party hereto or to such Bank immediately before it changed its lending office, provided, that for purposes of this clause (iii), in the case of a Loan acquired by a Bank pursuant to the funding of a Commitment, such Bank shall be treated as acquiring an interest in such Loan on the date it acquired an interest in the Commitment pursuant to which such Loan was funded, (iv) any Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Sections 8.05(f) or (g) and (v) any U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA.

“Indemnified Taxes” means (a) any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) to the extent not otherwise described in (a), Other Taxes.

“Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, but excluding any such Taxes described in clause (ii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 8.06).

“Withholding Agent” means the Company or the Administrative Agent.

(b)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the Withholding Agent to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payments, then (i) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation

4879-5062-7662v.12

authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.05) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(c)The Company shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes, in each case, within 30 days after written demand therefor.

(d)The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes, (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 8.05), whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority, payable or paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Bank or the Administrative Agent and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days after such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)After any payment of Taxes by the Company to a taxing authority or other authority pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, if such receipt relates to an Indemnified Tax in respect of a sum payable to any Bank, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such original or certified copy to such Bank.

(f)Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the following sentence and in Section 8.05(g)) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or prior to the date on which a Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, (i) each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent (a) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (as applicable) certifying in either case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under any Credit Document without or with reduced deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes and (b) in the case of such Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption from portfolio

4879-5062-7662v.12

interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) each Bank that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Each Bank which so delivers a Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (as applicable) further undertakes to deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent two additional copies of such form (or successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under any Credit Document without or with reduced deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, unless such Bank promptly notifies the Company and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)If a payment made to a Bank under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank fails 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 Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Withholding Agent at the time prescribed by law and at such times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent or the Company 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 Withholding Agent or the Company sufficient for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)If any party hereto determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.05 (including the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.05), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 8.03 or this Section 8.05 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant governmental authority). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(i)Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Tax and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

(j)The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

(k)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.05 shall interfere with the rights of any Bank to conduct its fiscal or Tax affairs in such manner as it deems fit.

(l)Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

SECTION 8.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks. (a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any governmental body, agency or official for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans and/or other Credit Exposure hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank (with the concurrence of the Company), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any governmental body, agency or official for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, (iii) a Bank is a Non-Consenting Bank, (iv) any Bank is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, or (v) any Bank is a Declining Bank under Section 2.18, then, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Assignee (which shall be a NAIC Approved Bank) that shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Fronting Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Bank shall

4879-5062-7662v.12

have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.05, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) in the case of any such assignment in respect of a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable Assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent, and (v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification; Non-Liability of Banks. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and each of their Affiliates, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction, for the Administrative

4879-5062-7662v.12

Agent, in connection with the preparation, due diligence, administration, syndication and closing of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. All amounts due under this clause (a) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (in each case, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that, with respect to the Effective Date, all amounts due under this clause (a) shall be paid on the Effective Date solely to the extent invoiced to the Company within three (3) Domestic Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

(b)The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Confirming Bank and their respective Related Parties (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Liabilities, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, costs of settlement and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees (unless the Indemnitees have actual or perceived conflicting interests, in which case such expenses shall include the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one additional counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and to each group of similarly affected Indemnitees), which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with, or as a result of, any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto or whether such proceeding is brought by the Company, its Affiliates, its equity holders or its creditors) relating to or arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit (or any drawing honored thereunder) or the use of proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Liabilities or related expenses have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, (y) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its material obligations hereunder or, in the case of a Confirming Bank, under its Confirming Bank Agreement or (z) any claim, litigation, or proceeding solely among Indemnitees brought by any Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, or proceeding against an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as a Joint Lead Arranger or Administrative Agent) that does not involve an act or omission (or alleged act or omission) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this clause (b) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that any such applicable Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this clause (b). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (b) shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(c)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Bank and any Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person, a “Lender-Related Person”), 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 contemplated hereby, any Loan, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of the Company or its Related Parties shall have any liability under this Section 9.03 for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Company’s indemnification obligations herein to the extent that such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)No Lender-Related Person, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective Related Parties) shall be liable for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar, DebtDomain or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except to the extent any such Liabilities are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.

(e)The agreements in this Section 9.03 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

SECTION 9.04. Sharing of Payments. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it or reimbursement obligation or interest due with respect to any LC Disbursement made by it under a Letter of Credit which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by such other Bank or reimbursement obligation or interest due, as the case may be, with respect to any LC Disbursement made by such other Bank under such Letter of Credit, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by or the LC Exposure by the other Banks under such Letter of Credit, as applicable, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans and reimbursement obligations and interest with respect to LC Disbursements made by the Banks under such Letter of Credit shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (i) nothing in this Section 9.04 shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Company other than its indebtedness under this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9.04 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in any Loan or LC Exposure, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 8.01, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Obligors and the Required Banks or by the Administrative Agent

4879-5062-7662v.12

(with the consent of the Required Banks) (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Issuing Bank, in such capacity, are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case may be); provided, that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Obligors and (to the extent applicable) each Fronting Issuing Bank (in each case, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), specify by notice to the Banks modifications in the procedures set forth in Section 2.01(b); provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver shall (i) increase the amount or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Bank or increase the LC Exposure of any Bank, without the written consent of such Bank, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any reimbursement obligation of the relevant Obligor in respect of any LC Disbursement, the rate or amount of interest thereon or any fees payable to any Bank hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or for reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.13(b) or (c) or Section 9.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.05 or the definition of “Required Banks” or “Applicable Percentage” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank, (vi) release any of the collateral provided for the LC Exposure pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and 6.01 (other than as expressly provided in Section 2.03(e)) or release the Company’s guarantee of the Obligations of the Subsidiary Account Parties pursuant to Section 2.01(h) without the written consent of each Bank or (vii) waive the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02, without the written consent of each Bank.

SECTION 9.06. 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; provided, however, that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Bank.

(b)Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Loans or any or all of its Letters of Credit. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in the proviso of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 8.05(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 8.05(f) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 9.06. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 9.06 shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Bank that grants a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company,

4879-5062-7662v.12

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, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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 a Participant Register.

(c)Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more NAIC Approved Banks (other than the Company, Affiliates of the Company, or a Defaulting Bank, each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the consent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of each of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Fronting Issuing Bank; provided, that (i) if an Assignee is an Affiliate of any Bank or was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Company shall be required and (ii) if an Assignee is an Affiliate of any Bank or was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Issuing Bank shall be required; provided, further, that no assignment shall be permitted to a Defaulting Bank; provided, further, that (x) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof and (y) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, no such consent of the Company shall be required; and provided, further, that any such assignment (other than an assignment to another Bank or an Affiliate of any Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the transferor Bank’s Commitment and interests in outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit) shall be in an amount that is at least $5,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank or Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500 unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes in accordance with Section 8.05(f).

(d)Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to secure obligations of such Bank, including, without limitation, to one or more of the Federal Reserve Banks which comprise the Federal Reserve System or other central banks. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

4879-5062-7662v.12

(e)No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.05 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Company’s prior written consent, (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.06 requiring such Participant to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or (iii) prior to a Change in Law giving rise to such greater payment.

SECTION 9.07. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. New York Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.09. Judicial Proceedings. (a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such proceeding may (and any such proceeding, claims, cross-claims or third-party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each Obligor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. Each Subsidiary Account Party irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, and the Company hereby accepts such appointment, at its office in Lansing, Michigan set forth beneath the Company’s signature on the signature page hereof, as the authorized agent of such Subsidiary Account Party, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 9.09 in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each Subsidiary Account Party until all of its reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof or, if earlier, when such Subsidiary Account Party is terminated as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder pursuant to Section 9.13.

(c)Service of Process. Each Obligor hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 9.09 in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon its agent appointed as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 9.09; provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such Obligor at its address specified on the signature page hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Account Party in accordance with the terms of Section 9.13, on the signature page of the Subsidiary Joinder Agreement to which it is a party) or to any other address of which such Obligor shall have given written notice to the applicable Bank. Each Obligor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Obligor in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent

4879-5062-7662v.12

permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Obligor.

(d)No Limitation on Service or Suit.Nothing in any Credit Document shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to bring any suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim against the Company or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

SECTION 9.10. Integration; Headings; Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 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.

(b)This Agreement, any Credit Document, and any other Communication, including any Communication required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each Obligor and each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Banks may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor and/or any Bank without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 U.S.C. §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect

4879-5062-7662v.12

of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Credit Documents for being the maker thereof).

The Company and each Bank hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Credit Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Credit Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Bank’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Company to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

(c)Posting of Communications. The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any communications available to the Banks by posting the communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Bank that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Banks and the Company hereby approves distribution of the communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HERETO, ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE COMPANY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY

4879-5062-7662v.12

INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH OF SUCH APPLICABLE PARTY.

(e)Each Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the communications to such Bank for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(f)Each Bank and the Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank agree that they will maintain the confidentiality of, and will not use for any purpose (other than exercising its rights and enforcing its remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents), any written or oral information provided under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Company (hereinafter collectively called “Confidential Information”), subject to the Administrative Agent’s and each Bank’s (a) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws and regulations or by a self-regulatory body or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process (in which case Administrative Agent and such Bank agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law or regulation, to inform Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (b) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to its bank examiners, auditors, counsel and other professional advisors and to other Banks and to its subsidiaries and Affiliates and the subsidiaries and Affiliates of its holding company, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, shall cause each such subsidiary or Affiliate to maintain the Confidential Information on the same terms as the terms provided herein, (c) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute involving the Banks and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (d) right to provide such information to (i) participants, prospective participants, prospective assignees or assignees pursuant to Section 9.06, to its prospective Confirming Bank or Confirming Bank or (with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) to its agents if prior thereto such participant, prospective participant, prospective assignee, prospective Confirming Bank, Confirming Bank or agent agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms substantially similar to those of this Section 9.11 as if it were a “Bank” party hereto or (ii) with the consent of the Company (except as otherwise permitted under clause (b) above), any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction relating to the Company and its obligations or to any actual or prospective credit insurance provider relating to the Company and its obligations if prior thereto such counterparty or credit insurance provider agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms substantially similar to those of this

4879-5062-7662v.12

Section 9.11 as if it were a “Bank” party hereto, (e) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the prior written consent of the Company, right to disclose any such Confidential Information on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or this facility and (g) right to provide such information with the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information supplied to a Bank, participant, prospective participant, prospective assignee, prospective Confirming Bank or Confirming Bank under this Agreement shall cease to be Confidential Information to the extent that such information (i) is or becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by a Bank or any of its affiliates in violation of this Section 9.11, (ii) is received by a Bank from a third party that is not subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to such information or (iii) is independently developed by such Bank or any of its affiliates, in each case, so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 9.11. In addition, in consultation with the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about the Effective Date and the size, type and purpose of the facilities contemplated by this Agreement to market data collectors and other service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Commitments.

SECTION 9.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OBLIGOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 9.13. Xxxxxxx and Termination of Subsidiary Account Party. (a) Any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company that is organized under the laws of the United States and that is organized, licensed or regulated under applicable law as an insurance or reinsurance company may, upon the request of the Company at any time, upon not less than three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, become a party to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Account Party, provided that such Subsidiary shall have delivered an executed Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, to the Administrative Agent for acceptance by it (which shall promptly notify the Banks), and provided further that on and as of the date of acceptance of such Subsidiary Joinder Agreement by the Administrative Agent (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Banks shall have received all documents and instruments as they may reasonably request related to such Subsidiary, including legal opinions and information required to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification requirements of any Bank, in each case, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Banks and (iii) such Subsidiary Account Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Company as its authorized agent pursuant to Section 9.09(b) to accept service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of any nature in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)The Company may, at any time at which a Subsidiary Account Party shall not be an account party with respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit and shall not have any outstanding Obligations hereunder, terminate such Subsidiary Account Party as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder by delivering an executed notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks). Immediately upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, all commitments of the Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary Account Party and all rights

4879-5062-7662v.12

of such Subsidiary Account Party hereunder shall terminate and such Subsidiary Account Party shall immediately cease to be a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder; provided that all obligations of such Subsidiary Account Party as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder arising in respect of any period in which such Subsidiary Account Party was, or on account of any action or inaction by such Subsidiary Account Party as, a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder shall survive such termination.

SECTION 9.14. Certain Notices. Each Bank hereby notifies each Obligor that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, such Bank may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Bank to identify each Obligor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.15, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their respective stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Company agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Bank, on the one hand, and the Company, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Company, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Bank is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Company, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other Person. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.16. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable 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 applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

4879-5062-7662v.12

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent 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 Credit Document; or

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

SECTION 9.17. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor at the time existing under this Agreement held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Bank under this Section 9.17 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including any other rights of setoff) which such Bank may have. Each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Company promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Banks shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.19. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Dear Sirs

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We, the Issuing Banks, whose names are set out in Appendix 1 (collectively, the “Issuing Banks”, and each an “Issuing Bank”), hereby establish this irrevocable, unconditional (except for the conditions stated herein) Letter of Credit in favor of the aforesaid addressee (“Beneficiary”) for drawings up to United States Dollars [●] US$ [●], effective immediately. This Letter of Credit is issued by [●]3 for and on behalf of the Issuing Banks and is presentable and payable at [●]4 (“Agent”) for the amounts specified in any sight draft drawn hereunder, which amounts shall not, when aggregated with all other amounts paid by the Issuing Banks to the Beneficiary under this Letter of Credit, exceed the amount specified above, and expires with our close of business on [●] (the “Expiration Date”). In no way are the obligations of any Issuing Bank under this Letter of Credit contingent upon reimbursement with respect thereto or upon any Issuing Bank’s ability to perfect any lien, security interest or any other reimbursement. [With respect to the following Issuing Bank(s), this Letter of Credit is hereby confirmed by the bank listed next to such Issuing Bank’s name on Appendix I hereto (each confirming bank, a “Confirming Bank”)

2 NTD: Subject to review by BofA LC team.

3 Must be filled in with the names of a “qualified bank” within the meaning of New York Insurance Department Regulation 133, 11 N.Y.C.R.R. pt. 79, as amended from time to time, with a US Location.

4 Must be filled in with the names of a “qualified bank” within the meaning of New York Insurance Department Regulation 133, 11 N.Y.C.R.R. pt. 79, as amended from time to time, with a US Location. The Agent must be one of the Issuing Banks.

and each such Confirming Bank is formally designated by such Issuing Bank as its agent for the receipt and payment of drafts under the Letter of Credit: [●]5]6

The term “Beneficiary” includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or conservator.

We hereby undertake to promptly honour your sight draft(s) drawn on the Agent, indicating its Letter of Credit number [ ], for all or any part of this Letter of Credit upon presentation to the Agent at [●]7on or before the expiration date or any automatically extended expiration date. Each Issuing Bank makes this undertaking for an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount available under this Letter of Credit multiplied by such Issuing Bank’s percentage obligation as set forth in Appendix 1. Payment by the Agent with respect of amounts owed by each Issuing Bank hereunder shall be made upon receipt of funds, transferred by such Issuing Bank to the Agent, in respect of this undertaking to the Beneficiary’s account specified in the sight draft. The obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint. Upon the transfer by an Issuing Bank to the Agent of the amount specified in a sight draft drawn on such Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be fully discharged of its obligations under this Letter of Credit with respect to such sight draft. The failure of any Issuing Bank to make funds available to the Agent for payment under this Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Issuing Bank of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent; neither the Agent nor any Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Issuing Bank to make funds available to the Agent.

Except as expressly stated herein, this undertaking is not subject to any agreement, condition or qualification. The obligation of the Issuing Banks under this Letter of Credit is the individual obligation of each Issuing Bank and is in no way contingent upon reimbursement with respect thereto.

It is a condition of this Letter of Credit that the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be automatically extended, without amendment, for one year from the Expiration Date hereof, or any future Expiration Date, unless [sixty (60)]8 days prior to any such Expiration Date, we send you notice by registered mail or by overnight courier, addressed to [ ], that we elect not to consider this Letter of Credit extended for any such additional period.

This Letter of Credit is subject to and governed by the Laws of the State of New York and the 2007 Revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits of the International Chamber of Commerce (Publication N° 600) and, in the event of any conflict, the Laws of the State of New York will control. If this Letter of Credit expires during any interruption of business as described in Article 36 of said Publication 600, the Issuing Bank hereby specifically agrees to effect payment if this Letter of Credit is drawn against, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, within thirty (30) days after resumption of our business.

This Letter of Credit and the qualification of the Issuing Bank or confirming bank complies with New York Insurance Department Reg 133 (11 N.Y.C.R.R. Part 79), as of the date hereof. In compliance with Reg 133, this Letter of Credit is issued, presentable and payable at the physical location in the U.S. of a Qualified Bank, as defined in Reg 133.

5 Insert the names of the Issuing Banks that are not a “qualified bank” within the meaning of New York Insurance Department Regulation 133, 11 N.Y.C.R.R. Part 79, as amended from time to time.

6 To be inserted in case any Issuing Bank is not a “qualified bank” within the meaning of New York Insurance Department Regulation 133, 11 N.Y.C.R.R. pt. 79, as amended from time to time.

7 Must be filled in with the names of a “qualified bank” within the meaning of New York Insurance Department Regulation 133, 11 N.Y.C.R.R. pt. 79, as amended from time to time, with a US Location.

8 Or such shorter or longer period of time as may be agreed between Xxxxxxx Financial Inc. and the Agent.

By your acceptance hereof, you agree that (i) the Agent, in such capacity, shall have no obligation or liability to honor any drawing under this Letter of Credit, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (i) shall relieve the Agent of its obligations, if any, (a) as an Issuing Bank, (b) as a Confirming Bank or (c) to make payment hereunder for your account with funds transferred to the Agent by other Issuing Banks with respect to sight drafts presented by you; (ii) neither any Issuing Bank nor the Agent shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Issuing Bank, including any obligation to make payment hereunder; and (iii) an Issuing Bank may assign in full or in part any or all of its obligations to another bank(s) and in such event the assignee bank(s) would becoming Issuing Bank(s) (as the case may be) in the applicable percentage(s) or the assignor bank who would cease to be obligated under this Letter of Credit to the extent of such assigned obligations; provided that no such event will reduce the then available amount under this Letter of Credit.

Upon the occurrence of any such event contemplated in (iii) above, the Agent will provide prompt notice to you of such event, including any change in the identities of the Issuing Banks severally but not jointly liable in respect of the aggregate undrawn amount of this Letter of Credit (based upon their respective applicable percentages thereof) and any change in such applicable percentages (and in the identities of any related Confirming Banks).

The Agent has signed this Letter of Credit as agent for disclosed principals and accordingly shall be under no obligation to the Beneficiary except to the extent of its obligation as the Agent hereunder.

Very truly yours

Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

The undersigned is an issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank”) under the Credit Agreement but is not on the date hereof a bank listed on the most current “List of Qualified U.S. Financial Institutions” approved by the NAIC.

By your signature below, you undertake that any draft drawn under and in strict compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank under the Credit Agreement will be duly honored by you as if, and to the extent, you were the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your liability under all Letters of Credit at any one time issued under the Credit Agreement shall be limited to an amount (the “Liability Limit”) equal to the Commitment of the undersigned under the Credit Agreement in effect on the date hereof (an amount equal to $[ ]), as such Liability Limit may be increased after the date hereof with your prior written consent by reason of an increase in the Commitment of the undersigned under the Credit Agreement.
