(i)Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Credit Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 1.4, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

(ii)Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP (including the adoption of IFRS) would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document, and either the Borrowers or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (A) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (B) the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Credit Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

For purposes of this Section 1.4, Indebtedness of a joint venture that is recourse to a Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries solely as a result of such Borrower (or such Subsidiary) being a partner or member in such joint venture shall be treated as not recourse to such Borrower (or such Subsidiary) as long as the only assets owned by such Borrower (or such Subsidiary) are its equity interest in such joint venture and any contributed capital held to fund such equity interest.

(ii)The Term Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a single loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in Dollars, in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Commitment. The Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Term Facility.

Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.

The Revolving Loan Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrowers may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.2.

(4)the aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Loan, which shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (which shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Availability);

(5)the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(6)the amount of all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding (which, together with the requested Competitive Bid Loans shall not exceed, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) of the Revolving Credit Facility).

The Borrowers may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for one or three month Interest Periods in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. The Borrowers may not make more than four (4) Competitive Bid Quote Requests in any thirty (30) day period.

(xiv)Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Revolving Loan Lenders by email or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(c) hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrowers to each Revolving Loan Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

(xv)Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes. (i) Each Revolving Loan Lender may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by email or facsimile transmission not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing (or such other time or date as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Revolving Loan Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the Person serving as the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Revolving Loan Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrowers of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than one-quarter (1/4) hour prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. Any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instruction of the Borrowers.

(1)Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.2(d)(ii) hereto and shall in any case specify:

(a)the proposed date of borrowing;

(b)the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if the Revolving Credit Availability then is less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount), (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted;

(c)the margin above or below the applicable Term SOFR (the “Competitive Bid Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate offered for each Competitive Bid Loan; and

(d)the identity of the quoting Lender.

(7)Any Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if it:

(e)is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit 2.2(d)(ii) hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii) above;

(f)except as provided in subsection (d)(ii)(B)(z) above, proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; or

(g)arrives after the time set forth in subsection (d)(i) above.

(i)Notice to Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section and (y) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrowers shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request, (B) the principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted.

(ii)Acceptance and Notice by Borrowers. Not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing (or such other time or date as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Revolving Loan Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first Term SOFR Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrowers shall telephonically notify the Administrative Agent of their acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to them pursuant to

subsection (e) of this Section 2.2, and the Borrowers shall confirm such telephonic notification in writing not later than the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), whether telephonic or in writing, shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers with respect to compliance with (including calculation of) Section 7.2. Any Competitive Bid Loan accepted by the Borrowers and made by the Lenders shall utilize the Revolving Credit Facility (but not the Commitments of the Lenders making such Competitive Bid Loan), and the Revolving Credit Availability shall be reduced by the amount of any Competitive Bid Loans. The Borrowers may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(1)the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Loan borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request;

(2)the principal amount of each Competitive Bid Loan borrowing must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if the Revolving Credit Availability then is less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount);

(3)acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive Bid Margins; and

(4)the Borrowers may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) of this Section or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Credit Agreement.

(i)Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Margins for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers; provided, that the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Loans shall be allocated among such Lenders, in ascending order from those subject to the lowest Competitive Bid Margin to those subject to the highest Competitive Bid Margin, as applicable to provide to the Borrowers the lowest effective cost based on offers accepted. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of all offers.

(ii)Notification by Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of the Borrowers’ Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan borrowing accepted by the Borrowers and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such Competitive Bid Loan borrowing and such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrowers.

(iii)Each Competitive Bid Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with the accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Bid Loan.

2.aLetter of Credit Subfacility.

(xvi)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.1, the Borrowers may request any Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, to issue, at any time and from time to time, during the period from and including the Closing Date to, but not including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Facility has been terminated as provided herein, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or the account of any of their Subsidiaries in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in their reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Commitments.

(xvii)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension or Renewal. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of the terms and conditions, extension of the terms and conditions, extension of the expiration date or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Lender) to an Issuing Lender selected by it and to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended, reinstated or renewed, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, extension or renewal (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 2.3), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend, reinstate or renew such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also shall submit a letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement shall control.

If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application (or the amendment of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall permit such Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Lender at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once

an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiration date not later than the date permitted pursuant to Section 2.3(d); provided, that such Issuing Lender shall not (i) permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (except that the expiration date may be extended to a date that is no more than one year from the then-current expiration date) or (B) it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Loan Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (ii) be obligated to permit such extension if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(xviii)Limitations on Amounts, Issuance and Amendment. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, extended, reinstated or renewed only if (and upon issuance, amendment, extension, or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender shall not exceed its LOC Commitment, (ii) the aggregate LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Total LOC Committed Amount, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Loan Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment and (iv) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility.

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

(a)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(b)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally;

(c)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;

(d)any Revolving Loan Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 11.9(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other LOC Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(e)the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

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

(xix)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiration date no later than the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, whether automatic or by amendment, twelve (12) months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(xx)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Revolving Loan Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Loan Lender, and each Revolving Loan Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Loan Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this clause (e) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Loan Lender hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the notice provided by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Loan Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(f) until such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement

payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason, including after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.1 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.1 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lenders the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Loan Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.3(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Loan Lenders have made payments pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Issuing Lenders and such Issuing Lenders as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

Each Revolving Loan Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.7 or 3.5(d), as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 11.3 or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement.

If any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(e), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Credit Agreement, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the applicable Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of any Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Loan Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(xxi)Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon on (i) the Business Day that the Borrowers receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be

financed with a borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the date of payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1(d) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(f) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(xxii)Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(2)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision herein or therein;

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

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

(5)waiver by any Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of the Borrowers or any waiver by such Issuing Lenders which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrowers;

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

(7)any payment made by any Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit

if presentation after such date is authorized by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

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

(9)any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against each Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lenders, any Issuing Lender, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the applicable Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), an Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

(1)an Issuing Lender may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation;

(1)an Issuing Lender 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 and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit;

(2)an Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its reasonable 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

(3)this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Lender 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).

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lenders, any Issuing Lender, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (i) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (ii) an Issuing Lender declining to take-up documents and make payment (A) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor or (B) following a Borrowers’ waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents or (iii) an Issuing Lender retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such Issuing Lender.

(xxiii)Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued by it (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the Borrowers for, and no Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of any Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Credit Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where any Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(xxiv)Exculpatory Provisions. Each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and LOC Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section10 included such Issuing Lender with

respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Lender.

(xxv)Notices and Reports. Each Issuing Lender will, (i) upon issuance by it of a Letter of Credit, (ii) at least quarterly and (iii) more frequently upon request, provide to the Administrative Agent a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party, the beneficiary, the face amount, and the expiry date as well as any payments or expirations which may have occurred. The Issuing Lender will further provide to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon request, copies of the Letters of Credit and the other applicable LOC Documents.

(xxvi)[Reserved].

(xxvii)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by Applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of such demand for payment if such Issuing Lender has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Loan Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(xxviii)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.3, then Section 3.1(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause (m) shall be for account of such Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.3 to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(xxix)Replacement of any Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Loan Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Credit Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lender, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an

Issuing Lender under this Credit Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(xxx)Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Loan Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (o), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”) an amount in cash equal to 105% of the total L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (e) of Section 9.1. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or clause (d) of this Section 2.3, if any LOC Obligations remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said clause (d), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of such LOC Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Lender for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LOC Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

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

(xxxii)Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LOC Document, the terms hereof shall control.

2.aJoint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

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

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

(xxxv)If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the other Borrower for amounts so paid under this Credit Agreement until such time as the Lenders have been paid in full and all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been terminated.

(xxxvi)The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.

(xxxvii)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability and of all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any presentment or demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement and the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the liability of co-borrowers or sureties and any defenses provided by those laws. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any

remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.4, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower or a Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of either Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(xxxviii)The provisions of this Section 2.4 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.4 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(xxxix)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

2.cAppointment of BOP.

BRT hereby appoints BOP to act as its agent for all purposes under this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans) and agrees that (i) BOP may execute such documents on behalf of BRT as BOP deems appropriate in its sole discretion and BRT shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed on its behalf, (ii) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to BOP shall be deemed delivered to BRT and (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by BOP on behalf of BRT.

2.dNon-Recourse.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no recourse shall be had against any past, present or future shareholder, officer, director or trustee of BRT for any obligation of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof; provided, however, that this Section 2.6 shall not restrict or limit any claim against any such Person arising out of or occurring with respect to fraud or any intentional misrepresentation or any act or omission that is willful or wanton or constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.eIncremental Facilities.

(xl)Incremental Facility Request. The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on up to four (4) occasions on or after the Closing Date (but not at any time after an election to extend the then Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.5(d)), elect to request increases in the aggregate principal amount of the Facilities through one or more increases in the existing Revolving Credit Facility (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”), and/or the Term Facility (each such increase, an “Incremental Term Loan Increase”), and/or the addition of one or more new pari passu tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”; each Incremental Term Loan Facility and each Incremental Revolving Increase and Incremental Term Loan Increase are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of any Incremental Facility, the sum of the Revolving Credit Facility plus the Term Facility plus any Incremental Term Loan Facilities, in each case, at such time, does not exceed $1,350,000,000. Each such Incremental Facility must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 per request and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or such other amounts as are agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the applicable Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days, nor more than 30 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each Lender or other Eligible Assignee who agrees to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Increase being referred to herein as a “New Revolving Loan Lender” and each Lender or other Eligible Assignee who agrees to provide all or portion of the Incremental Term Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan Facility being referred to herein as an “New Term Loan Lender”, as applicable; such Lenders to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a “New Lender Joinder Agreement”)) to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of the applicable Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender or other Eligible Assignee approached to provide all or a portion of the applicable Incremental Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a commitment with respect to an Incremental Facility and a Lender’s or other Eligible Assignee’s failure to respond shall be deemed to be a rejection of such request. Except in the case of a newly established Incremental Term Loan Facility, each such Incremental Facility (including any existing Incremental Term Loan Facility) shall be on the same terms as the

Facility being increased and all incremental commitments and loans provided as part of a newly established Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms agreed to by the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility; provided, that if the terms of such Incremental Term Loan Facility (other than final maturity) are not the same as the terms of a then existing Incremental Term Loan Facility, such new Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(xli)Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loan Facilities and Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to a supplement, an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Facility Amendment”) of this Credit Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Term Loan Lender (including any New Term Loan Lender) with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.6, the Incremental Term Loan Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.7. Each Incremental Term Loan Facility and the related Incremental Term Loans will be on such terms (including as to amortization and maturity) as are agreed to by the Borrowers and each Incremental Term Loan Lender with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility and, if the terms of such Incremental Term Loan Facility and the related Incremental Term Loans (other than final maturity) are not the same as any then existing Term Facility, such terms shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender, but such Incremental Term Loans will not in any event have a maturity date earlier than the latest Maturity Date (including any extension option) of any then existing Facility.

(xlii)Conditions to Effectiveness of Facility Increase. Each Incremental Facility shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment:

(1)no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility;

(2)the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrowers in any Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such Incremental Facility, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date);

(3)the Borrowers shall make any payments required in connection with the termination of an Interest Period prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date;

(4)the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any promissory notes, certificates, legal opinions, resolutions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1;

(5)as requested by the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations under the applicable Credit Documents remain in full force and effect, and continue to guaranty the Obligations under the Credit Documents, as modified by the applicable Incremental Facility and the implementation thereof;

(6)the Borrowers shall have paid, pursuant to separate agreements between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the arranger for the Incremental Facility, the New Revolving Loan Lenders and/or the Incremental Term Loan Lenders, (A) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the applicable Incremental Facility and (B) any fees that the Borrowers have agreed to pay to the arranger for the Incremental Facility, the New Revolving Loan Lenders and/or the Incremental Term Loan Lenders in connection with such Incremental Facility;

(7) upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at least five (5) days prior to the closing date of such Incremental Facility, the Borrowers shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least five (5) days prior to the closing date of such Facility Increase.

(a)at least five (5) days prior to the closing date of such Incremental Facility, any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall deliver, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower;

(1)the Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increased Amount Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.14) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratably with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments under this Section.

(xliii)Additional Facility Increase Matters.

(8)To the extent the Incremental Facility is an Incremental Revolving Increase and in the applicable Increased Amount Date, then each Revolving Loan Lender that is participating in such Incremental Facility on such Increased Amount Date shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Loan Lenders immediately prior to such Increased Amount Date, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding are held by the Revolving Loan Lenders pro rata based on their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such Increased Amount Date. If there is a new borrowing of Revolving Loans on such Increased

Amount Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Increased Amount Date shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.1(a).

(9)On any Increased Amount Date in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Increase, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility shall make a Term Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its new Term Commitment.

(10)On any Increased Amount Date in respect of an Incremental Term Loan Facility, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable foregoing terms and conditions and any terms and conditions set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Facility Amendment pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loan Facility is established, each Lender participating in such Incremental Facility shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrowers in the amount required to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Facility Amendment.

(11)The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees.

(12)This Section 2.7 shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.8 or 11.6 to the contrary.

2.fCash Collateral.

(xliv)Obligation to Cash Collateralize. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 11.9(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(xlv)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.8(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (a)(iv) above, after giving effect to Section 11.9(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be

maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(xlvi)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.8 or Sections 2.3, 3.3, 11.9 or 9.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LOC Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(xlvii)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Credit Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Credit Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 3.

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.aInterest.

(xlviii)Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Daily SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin All Competitive Bid Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR determined for the applicable Interest Period (determined as if the related Competitive Bid Loan were a Revolving Loan which is a Term SOFR Loan) plus (ii) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.

(xlix)Default Rate of Interest. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (including without limitation fees and expenses) shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, then the rate for Base Rate Loans plus two percent

(2%) per annum), and when such default rate of interest is in effect, it shall continue to remain in effect both before and after the entry of any judgment; provided that unless the Loans have been accelerated, interest, including the default rate of interest, shall only be due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates.

(l)Interest Payments. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

3.aPlace and Manner of Payments.

(li)General. All payments to be made by a Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Borrowers shall, at the time one or both make any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, the Loans, Letters of Credit, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that they fail to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to each Appropriate Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate). The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payment to each Appropriate Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) on the day received if such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m.; otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to the Appropriate Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Term SOFR Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(lii)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Daily SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 (or, in the case of a funding of Daily SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds

with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim a Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(1)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that a Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender 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 Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender 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 Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(liii)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Extension of Credit set forth in Section 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(liv)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.5 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.5 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.5.

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

(lvi)Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

3.bPrepayments.

(lvii)Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (i) any prepayment of Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of any Committed Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with, in the case of any Term SOFR Loan, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.14. Subject to Section 11.9, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facility. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, Competitive Bid Loans may not be voluntarily prepaid without the consent of the Lender(s) that hold such Competitive Bid Loans.

(lviii)Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Revolving Credit Availability is less than zero, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans (including L/C Borrowings) in the amount of such excess in accordance with Section 3.3(c) and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Availability to be greater than or equal to $0; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(i) unless, after the prepayment in full of all Revolving Loans (including L/C Borrowings), the Revolving Credit Availability is not greater than or equal to $0; and

(lix)Application of Prepayments.

(2)All amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers.

(3)All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to Base Rate Revolving Loans and Daily SOFR Revolving Loans (ratably to each Revolving Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) until paid in full, second, to Term SOFR Revolving Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities (ratably to each Revolving Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) until paid in full, third, to Competitive Bid Loans (subject to the last sentence of Section 3.3(a)) and, fourth, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations until fully collateralized. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayments pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall reduce the Revolving Credit Facility.

(4)All prepayments hereunder shall be subject to Section 3.14.

3.bFees.

(lx)Facility Fees. In consideration of the Revolving Credit Facility being made available by the Revolving Loan Lenders hereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of each Revolving Loan Lender (based on each Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage and the number of days that such Lender was a Revolving Loan Lender during the prior fiscal quarter), a fee (collectively, the “Facility Fees”) equal to the Facility Fee Rate (as defined below) multiplied by the entire Revolving Credit Facility. The “Facility Fee Rate” shall vary from time to time based on the Unsecured Senior Debt Ratings then in effect and calculated as set forth in the definition of Applicable Margin.

The Facility Fees shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers (as well as on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and on any date that the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or portion thereof), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(lxi)Letter of Credit Fees.

(5)Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the applicable Revolving Loan Lenders (based on each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment), a per annum fee (the “Letter of Credit

Fees”) equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. The Letter of Credit Fees will be payable quarterly in arrears after the issuance of such Letter of Credit (as well as on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date).

(6)Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (i) above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account, without sharing by the other Lenders, (A) a fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender from the date of issuance to the date of expiration, such fee to be paid quarterly in arrears or the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers after the issuance of such Letter of Credit (as well as the Revolving Loan Maturity Date), and (B) the customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender for its services in connection with the issuance, amendment, payment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”).

(lxii)Administrative Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual fee as agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the applicable Fee Letter.

(lxiii)Competitive Bid Fee. Simultaneously with the delivery of each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a fee equal to $2,500.

3.cPayment in full at Maturity; Extension of Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(lxiv)Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving Loan Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date; provided that Competitive Bid Loans shall also be due and payable in full as provided in Section 2.2(i).

(lxv)Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Term Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Term Facility the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(lxvi)Incremental Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Incremental Term Loan Lenders with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Facility on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility Amendment.

(lxvii)Extensions of Revolving Loan Maturity Date. On two (2) occasions during the term of this Credit Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request, the Borrowers may elect at least 30 days, but no more than 90 days, prior to the Maturity Date then in effect for the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date”), to extend the then Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date for six (6) months from such Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date by providing written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Revolving Loan Lenders). If on the applicable Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date (i) no Default or Event of Default

exists and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders, an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the then Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) the Borrowers have given written notice to the Administrative Agent of such election to extend such Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date within the time frame set forth in this Section 3.5(d), the then Existing Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be automatically extended for a period of six (6) months.

3.aComputations of Interest and Fees.

(lxviii)All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Daily SOFR Loans and Term SOFR Loans, shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.2(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(lxix)It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

3.d[Reserved].

3.eSharing of Payments by Lenders; Sharing of Proceeds From Exercise of Remedies in respect of the Additional Guarantees.

(lxx)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans made by it, or the participations in LOC Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans and subparticipations in LOC Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans and other amounts owing them, as applicable, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.8, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans or subparticipations in LOC Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall apply).

(lxxi)Sharing of Proceeds from Exercise of Remedies in respect of the Additional Guarantees. Notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the Additional Guarantees only guarantee payment of the Term Loans (and not any Obligations in respect of any other Loans or Extensions of Credit), each Term Lender hereby agrees (and directs the Administrative Agent) that in the event of the exercise of remedies in respect of one or more of such Additional Guarantees (whether pursuant to any contract, Law (including any Debtor Relief Law) or otherwise), all proceeds received in respect thereof shall be applied to all Obligations in accordance with Section 9.3. In furtherance thereof, each Term Lender hereby agrees that if, in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of one or more Additional Guarantees that only guarantee payment of Term Loans, such Term Lender obtains any payment in respect thereof in excess of its ratable share due to all Lenders under Section 9.3, then such Term Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans and subparticipations in LOC Obligations, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 9.3, provided that if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any

portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest.

3.cCapital Adequacy.

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

3.dInability To Determine Interest Rates; Replacement of Term SOFR.

(lxxii)Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Daily SOFR Loan or a Term SOFR Loan, or a conversion of a Base Rate Loan or a Daily SOFR Loan to a Term SOFR Loan, or a conversion of a Base Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan to a Daily SOFR Loan, or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.10(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.10(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not 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 for determining the Daily Simple SOFR for any determination date with respect to an existing or proposed Daily SOFR Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or the Daily Simple SOFR with respect to an existing or proposed Daily SOFR Loan, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans and/or to make Daily SOFR Loans (as applicable), or to convert Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans to Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans to Daily SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in clause (i)(B) of the preceding paragraph 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 Lenders described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.10(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or a Borrowing of or conversion to Daily SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately, in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, and at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period, in the case of Term SOFR Loans.

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

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

(8)CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor administrator of SOFR, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any such administrator with respect to its publication of SOFR and/or Term SOFR, as applicable, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which SOFR and one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate, as applicable, shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, at the time of such statement, there are no successor administrators that are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide SOFR or such interest periods of Term SOFR, as applicable, after such specific date (the latest date on which SOFR or 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”)

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.10(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “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 clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Credit Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing SOFR and Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.10, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar 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 any evolving

or then existing convention for similar 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 in its reasonable discretion (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrowers and each Lender 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.

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

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent 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 or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.fIllegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund Loans or charge interest with respect to any Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and/ or Term SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to engage in reverse repurchase of U.S. Treasury securities transactions of the type included in the determination of SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Extension of Credit or continue Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers

shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Daily SOFR Loans and Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (in the case of Term SOFR Loans), if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, in the case of Daily SOFR Loans or if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender (such Lender to advise the Administrative Agent promptly after knowledge of the change in circumstances) that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.14.

3.gRequirements of Law.

(lxxiv)If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

(11)impose on such Lender or such Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

(lxxv)A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.9 or Section 3.12(a) and delivered to the

Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(lxxvi)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.bTaxes.

(lxxvii)Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 3.13, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

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

(lxxix)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it or any Lender for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(lxxx)Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor together with a certificate specifying the amount of such payment or liability (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient (whether directly or pursuant to Section 3.13(e)) or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the

Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.13(e) below.

(lxxxi)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.3(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any 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 Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(lxxxii)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(lxxxiii)Status of Lenders.

(12)Any Lender 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.13(g) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the applicable Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

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

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

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

(i)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its reasonable 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 3.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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, or to file for or pursue any refund of Taxes on behalf of, the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(ii)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

3.hCompensation. Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.3(c), upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(lxxxiv)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or payment period, as applicable, for such Loan or Competitive Bid Loan, if applicable (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(lxxxv)any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any portion of the Loans (other than a Base Rate Loan) or Competitive Bid Loans on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

(lxxxvi)any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.15(b);

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain the Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.eMitigation; Mandatory Assignment.

(lxxxvii)Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Extension of Credit to the Borrowers through any lending office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Extension of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender requests compensation under Section 3.12, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.13, then such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.12 or 3.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise

be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(lxxxviii)Replacement of Lenders. In the event a Lender makes a request to the Borrowers for additional payments in accordance with Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 or 3.14 or a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their own expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.3), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.9, 3.12 and 3.13) and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(1)the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.3(b);

(2)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(3)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 3.9 or 3.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section3.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(4)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(5)in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 3.15(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.15(b) to the contrary, (i) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.6.

3.iSurvival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under Sections 3.9 through and including Section 3.14 shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

agreement that conditions a Person’s ability to xxxxx x Xxxx upon the maintenance of one or more specified ratios that limit such Person’s ability to encumber its assets but that do not generally prohibit the encumbrance of its assets, or the encumbrance of specific assets, shall not constitute a Negative Pledge.

LAST, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.3(c) and 2.8, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Section 10.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

10.aAppointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a

102

matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.bRights as a Lender.

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

10.cExculpatory Provisions.

None of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger, as applicable, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Bookrunners, as applicable:

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

(xvii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(xviii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;

(xix)shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.6 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent

103

shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default (other than a Default under Section 9.1(a) (with respect to principal, interest and fees)) unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender;

(xx)shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.dReliance by Administrative Agent.

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

10.eDelegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Agent Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

104

10.fResignation of Administrative Agent.

(xxi)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(xxii)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(xxiii)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.13(i) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under

105

the other Credit Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(xxiv)Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all LOC Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.3. Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor Issuing Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.aNon-Reliance on Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and each Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender or any Issuing Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or such Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Bookrunners that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Credit Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Credit Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be

106

applicable to such Lender or Issuing Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

10.bNo Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

10.cCertain ERISA Matters.

(xxv)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(1)such Lender 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 Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Credit Agreement,

(2)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement,

(3)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to

107

such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement, or

(4)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

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

10.gRecovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Credit Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party 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 Lender Recipient Party 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 Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(iv)Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. 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 ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any other Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

(v)Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Lenders and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices and Notices of Borrowing) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and the officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.bRight of Set-Off; Payments Set Aside.

(vi)Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off

110

and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, each Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

11.aSuccessors and Assigns.

(viii)Successors and Assigns Generally. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, except that neither any Borrower nor any

111

other Credit party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 11.3 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(ix)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LOC Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(7)Minimum Amounts.

(a)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such Assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.3 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(b)in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.3, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than$5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000.000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility or any Incremental Term Loan Facility unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(4)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this sentence shall not prohibit any Lender

112

from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(5)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.3 and, in addition:

(c)the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities;

(d)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(e)the consent of each Issuing Lender shall be required for any assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment.

(8)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(9)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons).

(10)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby

113

irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vi), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(11)Effectiveness. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 11.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 11.3.

(x)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(xi)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement

114

(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LOC Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.5(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.6 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.12 3.13 and 3.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.3 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.13(g) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.3; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.15 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section 11.3 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.9, 3.12 or 3.13, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.15 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit 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.

(xii)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if

115

any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(xiii)Resignation as Issuing Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Lender assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, such Issuing Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Revolving Loan Lenders, resign as an Issuing Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Loan Lenders a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the applicable Issuing Lender as an Issuing Lender. If the applicable Issuing Lender resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all LOC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Loan Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.3(f)). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, and (y) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the applicable retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.cNo Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Credit Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Any waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and

116

under the other Credit Documents, (b) an Issuing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.2 (subject to the terms of Section 3.8), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.8, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(d).

(xvii)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or

(xx)the written consent of each Lender shall be required to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(12)waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1 (provided that, unless set forth in writing to the contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a confirmation by such Lender to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that, insofar as such Lender is concerned, the Borrowers have satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Section 5.1);

(13)change Section 3.8 or Section 9.3 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby;

(xxi)no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(6)extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.2) without the written consent of such Lender (and no separate consent of Required Lenders shall be required);

(7)postpone any date fixed by this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document for any scheduled payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to any Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or extend the maturity of any Facility under which any Lender holds a Loan or Commitment, without the written consent of such Lender (and no separate consent of Required Lenders shall be required);

(8)reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii)) of the second proviso to this Section 11.6) any fees or other amounts payable to any Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of such Lender (and no separate consent of Required Lenders shall be required); provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend Section 3.1(b) or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the rate set forth in Section 3.1(b) or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(xxii)without limiting the generality of clause (a)(i) above, waive any condition set forth in Section 5.2 as to any Extension of Credit under a particular Facility without the written consent of the Required Revolving Loan Lenders, the Required Term Lenders or Required Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be;

(xxiii)only the written consent of each Lender under the applicable Facility shall be required to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent shall change the definition of “Required Revolving Loan Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders” or “Required Incremental Term Loan Lenders”; and

(xxiv)only the written consent of (i) the Required Term Lenders shall be required to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent shall impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Term Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, (ii) the Required Revolving Loan Lenders shall be required to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent shall impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Revolving Loan Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder and (iii) the Required Incremental Term Loan Lenders of an Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be required to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent shall impose any greater restriction on

120

the ability of any Incremental Term Loan Lender with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder;

and, provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Lenders in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lenders under this Credit Agreement or any LOC Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document; and (iii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

The right of any Defaulting Lender to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder shall be limited as set forth in Section 11.9(a)(i).

Any increase in the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof shall be effective only after obtaining the consent of each of the Lenders electing to increase its respective Commitment and no other consent by any Lender not electing to increase its Commitment shall be required for any such increase in the Revolving Credit Facility.

Any increase in the Term Facility pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof shall be effective only after obtaining the consent of each of the Lenders electing to increase its respective Commitment and no other consent by any Lender not electing to increase its Commitment shall be required for any such increase in the Term Facility.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Credit Agreement as contemplated by this Section 11.6, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.15 (as if each such non-consenting Lender had made a request referred to in Section 3.15) and Section 11.3 so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination.

In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

11.eElectronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts.

This Credit Agreement, any Credit Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Credit Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party 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 Lender Parties 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, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Issuing Lender is 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 and/or any Issuing Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Issuing Lender shall 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 or such Issuing Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Credit 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).

Each of the Credit Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Credit Agreement, such other Credit Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities

122

arising as a result of the failure of the Credit Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

11.fHeadings.

The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

11.gDefaulting Lenders.

(xxv)Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(17)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders”, “Required Revolving Loan Lenders” “Required Incremental Lenders” and Section 11.6.

(18)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.8; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x)

123

such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LOC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LOC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LOC Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 11.9(a)(iv); any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 11.9(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(19)Certain Fees.

(a)No Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Loan Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee payable under Section 3.4(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.8.

(b)Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.8.

(c)With respect to any Facility Fee or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LOC Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(9)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LOC Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that

124

such reallocation does not cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 11.24, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(10)Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Applicable Law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.8.

(xxvi)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Revolving Loan Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Loan Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Loan Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to Section 11.9(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(xxvii)New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

11.aSurvival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan or Letter of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address for notices pursuant to Section 11.1, such service to become effective 15 days after such mailing.

Each Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that nothing in this Section 11.11(a) is intended to impair a Borrower’s right under applicable law to appeal or seek a stay of any judgment.

11.jSeverability.

If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining

126

provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 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 11.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Credit Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

For purposes of this Section 11.17, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.17 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

Each Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

(xxxiv)Existing Credit Agreement Superseded. This Credit Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 11.25. On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Notes” defined therein shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Credit Agreement and any Revolving Notes requested by Revolving Loan Lenders that were “Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, however, that (x) any of the “Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, for purposes of this Credit Agreement, be Revolving Loans hereunder (y) this Credit Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties or obligations created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date, except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, and all of such rights, duties and obligations are assumed, ratified and affirmed by the Borrowers; and (z) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Credit Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, or constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Credit Agreement, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby. The Revolving Loan Lenders’ interests in the Revolving Loans and participations in the Letters of Credit shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in accordance with each Revolving Loan Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan Commitment, and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall make such purchases of Revolving Loans from each other as are necessary to effect such reallocation. On the Closing Date, (A) the loan commitments of each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement but is not a party to this Credit Agreement (an “Exiting Lender”) will be terminated, all outstanding obligations owing to the Exiting Lenders on the Closing Date will be repaid in full, and each Exiting Lender will not become a Lender under this Credit Agreement, (B) each Person listed on Exhibit 1.1(a) attached to this Credit Agreement shall be a Revolving Loan Lender under this Credit Agreement with the applicable Revolving Loan Commitment set forth opposite its name on such Exhibit 1.1(a), and (C) each Person listed on Exhibit 1.1(b) attached to this Credit Agreement shall be an Issuing Lender with the LOC Commitment set forth opposite its name on such Exhibit 1.1(b).

11.cAcknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the

131

provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

(xxxvii)As used in this Section 11.26, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

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

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

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

FORM OF REVOLVING NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Borrowers”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to __________________ (the “Lender”), or to the Lender’s registered assigns, the principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by the Lender to the Borrowers under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2022 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement;” the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among the Borrowers, the Lender, the other Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and certain other parties thereto.

The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Agreement.

This Revolving Note is one of the Revolving Notes referred to in the Agreement, is entitled to the benefits and is subject to the terms thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to the terms and conditions provided therein.

FORM OF GUARANTY

GUARANTY (as amended, modified, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of ______, 20 __ made by and among each of the undersigned guarantors (together with any other entity that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 18 hereof, each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Creditor Parties (as defined below). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

WHEREAS, Brandywine Realty Trust and Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. as the Borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders and Issuing Lenders, and certain other parties, and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of _____, 2022, (such agreement, as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”)

WHEREAS, the Borrowers and each Guarantor are members of a group of related entities, the success of each of which is dependent in part on the success of the other members of such group;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement each Guarantor is executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent this Guaranty to guaranty the Borrowers’ obligations to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under and in respect of the Credit Agreement as herein provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the other parties to whom any Obligations are owing (together with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, the “Creditor Parties”), and hereby covenants and agrees with each other Guarantor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditor Parties as follows:

1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance of Obligations. In consideration of the Creditor Parties’ extending credit or otherwise in their discretion giving time, financial or banking facilities or accommodations to the Borrowers, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Creditor Party the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise). This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of the full

-2-

and punctual payment and performance by the Borrowers of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Creditor Party first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Borrowers or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which any Creditor Party now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon any Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing by the Borrowers, in the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, become forthwith due and payable to the Creditor Party or Creditor Parties owed the same without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by each Guarantor, except for notices required to be given to the Borrowers under the Credit Documents. Payments by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by any Creditor Party on any number of occasions.

2. Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. Each Guarantor further jointly and severally agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to each Creditor Party (or to the Administrative Agent on behalf of another Creditor Party) forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to such Creditor Party (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Creditor Party), all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by such Creditor Party (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Creditor Party) in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time after such amounts become due at the default rate of interest set forth in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

3. Payments. Each Guarantor jointly and severally covenants and agrees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Obligation shall not be discharged by a payment in a currency other than the currency in which such Obligation is denominated (the “Obligation Currency”) or at a place other than the place specified for the payment of such Obligation, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Obligation Currency and transferred to New York, New York, U.S.A., under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Obligation Currency due thereunder.

4. Taxes. Each Guarantor further agrees that all payments to be made hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction for, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any country or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein to the extent provided in Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement.

5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The provisions of Sections 11.11 and 11.2 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated into this Guaranty as if set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis.

-3-

6. Liability of each Guarantor. Each Creditor Party have and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of each Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty or against any other Guarantor or against any Borrower, and the release or discharge of any Guarantor or other guarantor of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of each Guarantor hereunder that has not been released or discharged.

It is the intention and agreement of each Guarantor and each Creditor Party that the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be joint and several and valid and enforceable against each Guarantor to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if any provision of this Guaranty creating any obligation of any Guarantor in favor of the Creditor Parties shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantors and the Creditor Parties that any balance of the obligation created by such provision and all other obligations of each of the other Guarantors to the Creditor Parties created by other provisions of this Guaranty shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if by final order a court of competent jurisdiction shall declare any sums which the Creditor Parties may be otherwise entitled to collect from any Guarantor under this Guaranty to be in excess of those permitted under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like statute or rule of law) applicable to such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantors and the Creditor Parties that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such applicable law shall remain fully collectible by the Creditor Parties from each of the other Guarantors, jointly and severally.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditor Parties, hereby confirm that the parties intend that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law (as defined below), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty. In furtherance of that intention, the liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty (the “Liabilities”) shall be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other person with respect to the Liabilities, result in the Liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. This paragraph with respect to the maximum liability of the Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditor Parties, to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this paragraph with respect to such maximum liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. The Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of the Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Creditor Parties, hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase the Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its maximum liability.

-4-

7. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. (a) Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each Creditor Party that the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent that such representations and warranties contained therein are applicable to it, are true and correct in all material respects, each such representation and warranty set forth in such Section 6 (to the extent applicable to it) being hereby incorporated herein by reference as though specifically set forth in this Section 7. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent that such covenants are applicable to it) as if the covenants were set forth herein.

(b) Each Guarantor (i) is either a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company or a REIT duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state (or other jurisdiction) of its organization or formation, (ii) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign partnership, a foreign corporation, a foreign limited liability company or a foreign REIT and authorized to do business in every other jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified, in good standing or authorized would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) has the power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

(c) Each Guarantor (i) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and to incur the obligations herein and therein provided for and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein and (ii) is duly authorized, and has been authorized by all necessary action, to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, nor the performance of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof by a Guarantor, will (i) violate or conflict with any provision of its organizational or governing documents, (ii) violate, contravene or materially conflict with any Requirement of Law or any other law, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation U or Regulation X), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or permit applicable to it, (c) violate, contravene or conflict with contractual provisions of, or cause an event of default under, any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, the violation of which would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (d) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to its properties.

(e) Except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders that have been obtained, and filings, registrations and qualifications that have been made, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or Governmental Authority or third party in respect of any Guarantor is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor.

(f) This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor, except as may be limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.

8. Effectiveness. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, and continue to be effective or be

-5-

reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Obligations by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws or any other similar law, or by reason of any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower or a Guarantor is made, or a Creditor Party or any of their respective Affiliates exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Creditor Party or any such Affiliate in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Creditor Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

9. Freedom to Deal with Borrowers and Other Parties. Each Creditor Party shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of any Guarantor and without relieving any Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Borrowers and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as such Creditor Party in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end each Guarantor gives to each Creditor Party full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to the Borrowers at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as such Creditor Party may approve, (b) vary the terms and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers or of any other party to such Creditor Party, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereof, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing, or impair any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which any Creditor Party now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments from the Borrowers or any such other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrowers or any such other party.

10. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrowers; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason any of the Borrowers has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrowers by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on each Guarantor to the same extent as if such Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security.

11. Waivers by Guarantor. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the

-6-

Creditor Parties and of all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in the Credit Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Creditor Parties obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Creditor Parties’ subordinating, compromising, impairing, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; and (f) the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the liability of guarantors or sureties, and any defenses provided by these laws.

12. Restriction on Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable law, unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably defers and agrees not to enforce any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against the Borrowers on account of payments made under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral which may be held by any Creditor Party or any Affiliate of any Creditor Party. In addition, each Guarantor will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers in respect of any liability it may have to the Borrowers unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full.

Subject to the foregoing and the indefeasible performance and payment in full of the Obligations, each Guarantor acknowledges that all other “Guarantors” shall have contribution rights against such Guarantor in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with each such Person’s benefits received under the Credit Agreement and the Loans.

13. Notices. All notices and other communications to any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and delivered in the manner set forth in Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Creditor Party, as provided in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at the address for the Borrowers provided in the Credit Agreement.

14. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No provision of this Guaranty can be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Administrative Agent (acting with the requisite consent as provided in the Credit Agreement) and the Guarantors expressly referring to the provision of this Guaranty to which such instrument relates; and no such waiver shall extend to, affect or impair any right with respect to any Obligation which is not expressly dealt with therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Creditor Party or any of them in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.

15. Subordination. Without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by a Borrower to a Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by such Guarantor to or for the account of a Borrower, including, but not limited to, interest accruing at the agreed

-7-

contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Obligations, and such liabilities of such Borrower to such Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Creditor Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditor Parties, on account of the Obligations but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

16. Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Creditor Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and to the extent permitted under Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, 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 Creditor Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the Obligations held by such Creditor Party or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Creditor Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Creditor Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 16 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Creditor Party or their respective Affiliates may have.

17. Expenses. Each of the Guarantors shall reimburse each Creditor Party on demand for all costs, expenses and charges incurred by the Creditor Parties in connection with the performance or enforcement of this Guaranty, subject, in each case, to the terms and limitations set forth in Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

18. Additional Guarantors. Any Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex I.

19. Further Assurances. Each Guarantor at its sole cost and expense agrees to do all such things and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of the Creditor Parties hereunder.

20. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. The provisions of Section 11.26 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated into this Guaranty as if set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis.

21. Assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of each Guarantor, the Creditor Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Guaranty except as provided in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Creditor Party may assign, sell participations in or otherwise transfer its rights under the Credit Documents to any other person or entity in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the other person or entity shall then become vested with all the rights granted to such Credit Party, as applicable, in this Guaranty or otherwise.

-8-

22. Remedies Generally. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement.

23. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

24. Captions. The headings and captions in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Guaranty.
