WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into this Agreement in order to (i) amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety; (ii) extend the maturity date for the Lenders in respect of the existing revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement; (iii) re-evidence the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (iv) increase the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; and (v) set forth the terms and conditions under which the Lenders will, from time to time, make loans and extend other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Borrower;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS

SECTION 1.01. Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

“Acquisition Cash Flow” means, with respect to any Person or assets, franchises or businesses acquired by the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, operating income for any period of determination plus any amounts deducted for depreciation, amortization and operating lease expense in determining operating income during such period (to the extent not included in Consolidated Operating Income for such period), all determined using historical

financial statements of such Person, assets, franchises or businesses acquired with appropriate adjustments thereto in order to reflect such operating income, depreciation, amortization and operating lease expense on an actual historical combined pro forma basis as if such Person, assets, franchises or businesses acquired had been owned by the Borrower or one of its Consolidated Subsidiaries during the applicable period. Operating income as used in the preceding sentence will be determined for the acquired Person, assets, franchises or businesses using the same method prescribed for determining Consolidated Operating Income.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning set forth in the introduction hereto.

“Advance” means an advance by a Lender and refers to a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance (each of which shall be a “Type” of Advance).

“Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary) which, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person means the power, directly or indirectly, either to (a) vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other persons performing similar functions of such Person or (b) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement” means this Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

“Applicable Lending Office” means, with respect to any Lender, such Lender’s Domestic Lending Office in the case of a Base Rate Advance and such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Base Rate Advance or Eurodollar Rate Advance, or with respect to the Facility Fee payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Base Rate Spread”, “Eurodollar Spread” or “Facility Fee”, as the case may be, based upon the Ratings by Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch, respectively, applicable on such date:


Level	Ratings S&P/Xxxxx’x/Fitch	Facility Fee	Eurodollar Spread	Base Rate Spread
1	A-/A3/A- or above	0.075%	0.80%	0%
2	BBB+/Baa1/BBB+	0.125%	0.875%	0%


3	BBB/Baa2/BBB	0.15%	0.975%	0%
4	BBB-/Baa3/BBB-	0.175%	1.075%	0.075%
5	BB+/Ba1/BB+ or lower	0.20%	1.30%	0.30%

For purposes of the foregoing:

If the Borrower shall maintain a Rating from only two of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch and there is a one-notch split between the two Ratings, then the Level corresponding to the higher Rating shall apply, but if there is a more than one notch split in the two Ratings, then the Rating that is one notch higher than the lowest Rating shall apply. If the Borrower shall maintain a Rating from all three of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch and there is a difference in such Ratings, (i) if there is a one-notch split between the Ratings, then the Level corresponding to the higher Rating shall apply and (ii) if there is greater than a one-notch split between the Ratings, then the Level shall be based upon one Level higher than the Level corresponding to the lowest of the three Ratings shall apply. If any of Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch shall not have in effect a Rating for the long-term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced debt obligations of the Borrower then outstanding (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then, to the extent such rating agency is being used to determine the Level (it being understood and agreed that at least two rating agencies will be used to determine the Level at all times), such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a Rating in Level 5. If the Ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.01(c) or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of Applicable Rate to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of Ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

“Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ¹⁄₂ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period in Dollars on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate (or if the LIBO Screen Rate is not available for such one month Interest Period, the Interpolated Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Base Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) (i) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances) or given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances), by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof.

(ii) Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance.

(iii) Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.

(iv) Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of profit) reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to make such Borrowing (including, without limitation, as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3) and the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing. A certificate as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (but without duplication) such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the NYFRB Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement (and such Advance shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the date on which such amount is so repaid to the Administrative Agent).

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve the other Lenders of their obligations hereunder to make an Advance on the date of such Borrowing, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than (or be subject to termination by notice from the

applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof at or prior to) the earlier of (x) one year after the issuance thereof (provided that any such Letter of Credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods (which shall in no event extend past the date in clause (y) hereof)) and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date), (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such customary application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is a Sanctioned Country or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

(c) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, subject to Section 2.19(a)(iv), each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from each Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(d), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 8.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Drawing and Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date such Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that if the Borrower fails to so reimburse such LC Disbursement by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance (subject to (i) the terms and conditions of Section 2.01(a) other than the required minimum and multiple amounts set forth therein and (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02) in an equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Advance. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due (or if the deemed Base Rate Advance described in the

immediately foregoing proviso cannot be made for any reason), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Advances as contemplated above) shall not constitute an Advance and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(d) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make

payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Advances; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, then Section 2.07(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the last Business Day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during such month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank pays any amount in respect of one or more drawings under Letters of Credit, the date of such payment(s) and the amount of such payment(s), (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse any amount required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank

on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such payment in respect of Letters of Credit and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 2.04. Certain Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) on the average daily amount (whether used or unused) of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment from the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender) and from the date of the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each such Lender), in each case until the Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the last Business Day of June, 2018.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the last Business Day of June, 2018, and on the Commitment Termination Date, and after the Commitment Termination Date payable upon demand; provided that the Applicable Rate shall increase by 2% per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default if the Borrower is required to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b). The Borrower further agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder. Fronting fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the last Business Day of June, 2018.

SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

(a) The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate, in whole or reduce ratably in part, the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding and the Letter of Credit Exposure at such time; and provided further that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Advances; Letter of Credit Reimbursements.

(a) Advances. The Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender, and each Advance made by each Lender shall mature, on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Reimbursements. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument, in each case, relating to any Letter of Credit and any LC Disbursements shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument, respectively.

SECTION 2.07. Interest.

(a) Ordinary Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. While such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Advances as in effect from time to time, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted, on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of payment in full.

(ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. While such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum for each Interest Period for such Advance equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances as in effect from time to time, payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day which occurs at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and on each date on which such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Continued, Converted, on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of payment in full.

(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall pay interest on:

(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable on demand (and in any event in arrears on the dates referred to in Section 2.07(a)(i) or (a)(ii) above), at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to said Section 2.07(a)(i) or (a)(ii), as applicable; provided that if such Payment Default shall be continuing at the end of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Advance shall forthwith be Converted to a Base Rate Advance bearing interest as aforesaid in this Section 2.07(b)(i); and

(ii) the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable on demand (and in any event in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full), at a

rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) above.

SECTION 2.08. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.09. Interest Rate Determinations; Changes in Rating Systems.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rates determined by the Administrative Agent for the purposes of Section 2.07.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period,

(ii) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and

(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon:

(i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and

(ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue

publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (d) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.09(d), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any request for the Conversion of any Advance to, or Continuation of any Advance as, a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Advance shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

(e) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any ensuing Interest Period for any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the Borrower will automatically be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month therefor.

(f) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall automatically be suspended until such Event of Default shall be cured or waived.

SECTION 2.10. Voluntary Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

(a) Optional Conversion. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert all or any portion of the outstanding Advances of one Type comprising part of the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided that (i) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01(a) and (ii) in the case of any such Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Advance into a Base Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the

restrictions specified above, specify (x) the date of such Conversion, (y) the Advances to be Converted, and (z) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) Continuations. The Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Continuation and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Continue all or any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing for one or more Interest Periods; provided that (i) Eurodollar Rate Advances so Continued and having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01(a) and (ii) in the case of any such Continuation on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Each such notice of a Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (x) the date of such Continuation, (y) the Eurodollar Rate Advances to be Continued and (y) the duration of the initial Interest Period (or Interest Periods) for the Eurodollar Rate Advances subject to such Continuation. Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower may, on notice given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed prepayment of Advances (in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances) or given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day of the proposed prepayment of Advances (in the case of Base Rate Advances), stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay, without penalty or premium, the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). The Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Advances except as provided in this Section 2.11 (or as required pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement).

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.

(a) If, due to a Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Person of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances or any Person shall be subjected to any reserve, special deposit, taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment), fees, charges, withholdings, liquidity or similar requirement, and any and all liabilities with respect to the foregoing, (other than Taxes addressed in Section 2.15, Other Taxes, and amounts excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.15(a)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Person (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Person additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Person for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, prepared in good faith and submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Person, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be

maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend (or Continue or Convert any Advance) hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts, prepared in good faith and submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or otherwise maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (ii) each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender shall convert into a Base Rate Advance at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance.

SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder without set-off or counterclaim not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02 in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, Letter of Credit fees or Facility Fee ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.06(d), from and after the Closing Date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such Closing Date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the NYFRB Rate and of Letter of Credit fees and the Facility Fee shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of such due date shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Letter of Credit

fees and Facility Fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to fall due in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the NYFRB Rate.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and all interest, penalties, and other liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) any withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar taxes or levies (including interest, penalties, and additions to tax related thereto) which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any penalties, interest, additions to tax related thereto, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and Other Taxes, submitted to the

Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding (as between the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent) for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of taxes or related amounts imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other proof of payment of such taxes or amounts reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Lender(s). If no such taxes or amounts are payable in respect of any payment hereunder, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at such address, a statement to such effect with respect to each jurisdiction designated by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Lender as of the date hereof) and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or otherwise required under law (but, in each case, only so long as such Lender is or, at the time of request or legal requirement, remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying, if applicable, that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, certifying, if applicable, such Lender is eligible for the portfolio interest exemption (which shall also require a separate certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) or certifying, if applicable, that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Lender indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero under the law applicable at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.15(a) (except to the extent such taxes were grossed up with respect to the Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party). Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States (except to the extent such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office).

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office(s) if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and any and all liabilities with respect to the foregoing (but, in the case of any Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.15(h) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(j) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any amounts as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 amounts 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 (j), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (j) 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 amounts subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(k) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the date hereof, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby

authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(l) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.16. Set-Off; Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Without limiting any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the Lenders hereunder, if the Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any amount payable by it hereunder or under any Note each Lender may, without prior notice to the Borrower (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency, matured or unmatured) and other obligations and liabilities at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or account of the Borrower. Each Lender shall promptly provide notice of such set-off and application to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that failure by such Lender to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off or application.

(b) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them or make such other adjustments as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Right to Replace a Lender. If (i) the Borrower is required to make any additional payment pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 to any Lender, (ii) any Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.13 or (iii) if in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (in each case, such Lender being an “Affected Person”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Person as a party to this Agreement; provided that, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another financial institution which is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances of the Affected Person pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations (including all outstanding Advances) of the Affected Person to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 8.06 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person in same day funds on the day of such replacement all accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts then owing

to such Affected Person by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due such Affected Person under Section 2.12 and 2.15. Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance 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 that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

SECTION 2.18. Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

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

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.18 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained by the Lenders and the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Advances be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower will promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) payable to such Lender, in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, in a principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and otherwise duly completed.

SECTION 2.19. Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date to request that the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) in accordance with the following provisions and subject to the following conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders, at least twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of Increase”) of any such requested increase specifying the aggregate amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitments are to be increased (the “Requested Increase Amount”), which shall be at least $10,000,000, the requested date of increase (the “Requested Increase Date”) and the date by which the Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit

Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing in its sole discretion to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(ii) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. In addition, the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any such Eligible Assignee that agrees to acquire a Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant hereto is herein called an “Additional Lender”.

(iii) Effective on the Requested Increase Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (x) Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the increases contemplated hereby, (y) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by an amount determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (but in no event greater than the amount the amount by which such Lender is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment), and (z) each Additional Lender shall enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which it shall undertake, as of such Requested Increase Date, a new Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (but in no event greater than the amount the amount by which such Lender is willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase), and such Additional Lender shall thereupon be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Each Additional Lender may request a Note in accordance with Section 2.18(d).

(iv) If on the Requested Increase Date there are any Advances outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall borrow from all or certain of the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the Borrower with Section 8.04(c)) prepay Advances of all or certain of the Lenders such that, after giving effect thereto, the Advances (including, without limitation, the Types and Interest Periods thereof) shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes the Increasing Lenders and the Additional Lenders) ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. On and after each date on which a Commitment Increase occurs, the Ratable Share of each Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Advances from draws under Letters of Credit shall be calculated after giving effect to each such Commitment Increase.

(v) The Borrower may not exercise its rights under this Section 2.19 more than once in each successive annual period commencing on the Closing Date.

(b) Anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary notwithstanding, no increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless:

(i) as of the date of the relevant Notice of Increase and on the relevant Requested Increase Date and after giving effect to such increase, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties of the Borrower in Article 4 (subject to updating in the case of Section 4.01(n)) shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of such date (unless expressly stated to relate to an

earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before the relevant Requested Increase Date: (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(iii) on and as of the date of the relevant Notice of Increase and on the relevant Requested Increase Date and after giving effect to such increase, the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating shall be at least equal to Baa3 and BBB- respectively;

(iv) the Borrower shall not previously have reduced the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.05; and

(v) after giving effect to any such increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $750,000,000.

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b) with respect to

such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the relevant Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Banks have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Banks shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

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

ARTICLE 7

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Advances), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),

independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (v) shall incur no liability to the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable, telex or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (vii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.01); and (vii) shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

SECTION 7.03. JPMorgan and Affiliates. With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Advances made by it, JPMorgan shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement 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, include JPMorgan in its individual capacity. JPMorgan and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if JPMorgan were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Advances hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Revolving Credit Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever

which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements found in a final-non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 7.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having total assets of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.07. Arrangers. Each Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have no obligation or responsibility hereunder and shall not become liable in any manner hereunder to any party hereto.

SECTION 7.08. Certain ERISA Matters.

hereby or thereby or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, and whether or not any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 are satisfied or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, except to the extent such direct claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (x) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (y) results from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith, or a material breach, of such Indemnified Party’s express obligations hereunder or (z) arises out of, or result from, any investigation, litigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank, an Arranger, a Co-Syndication Agent, a Documentation Agent or any other similar role with respect to the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement).

(ii) The Borrower hereby further agrees that (i) no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to the Borrower for or in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) the Borrower will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actual or proposed use of any Advance.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion or Continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance of a Lender is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance as a result of any optional or mandatory prepayment, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses (other than loss of profit) which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, Continuation or Conversion and the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. A certificate as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 8.05. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

SECTION 8.06. Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may, with notice to and the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (provided that the Borrower 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) (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), assign to one or more banks or

other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Advances owing to it and its participations in Letters of Credit); provided that:

(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement,

(ii) except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or to another Lender, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree) be less than the lesser of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder and (y) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,

(iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,

(iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, and

(v) the parties to each such assignment (other than the Borrower) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative

agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to the relevant assignment) and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each such Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Ineligible Institution) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower, such Lender shall remain and be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole representative with respect to the rights and obligations held in the name of such Lender (whether such rights or obligations are for such Lender’s own account or for the account of any participant), (v) no participant under any such participation agreement shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or to consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that any such amendment, waiver or consent would (x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes, in each case to the extent the same are subject to such participation, or (y) postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances, in each case to the extent the same are subject to such participation and (vi) each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.12 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment, provided that (A) such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15(g) and Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) no participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such participant complies with Section 2.15(e) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required thereunder shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15(g) with respect to any participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s

interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any permitted assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.06 and subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (but with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), assign to an Affiliate of such Lender all or any portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 000 0^xx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept on behalf of the Borrower and its Property service of the copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such legal proceedings brought in any such court, and the Borrower agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to the Borrower shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the enforcement of any judgment based thereon. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 8.08. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 8.09. Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall

constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

SECTION 8.10. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 7.05, shall survive the repayment of the Advances and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by any Notice of Borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Advance, any Default or Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading.

SECTION 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 8.12. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any Information which it may receive from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement in confidence and for use in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation for use in connection with its rights and remedies hereunder, except for disclosure (a) to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory officials, (d) as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party, (f) to a proposed assignee or participant permitted under Section 8.06 which shall have agreed in writing to keep such disclosed confidential information confidential in accordance with this Section and (g) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

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

SECTION 8.13. Nonliability of Lenders; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the

transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 8.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 8.15. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 8.16. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000

The Lenders identified on Schedule I attached hereto

Re:

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, among the Borrower, the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). This opinion letter is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following documents (items (a) and (b) below are referred to as the “Loan Documents”), all dated the date hereof unless otherwise indicated:

(a)

the Credit Agreement; and

(b)

the Notes.

We have also examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials, officers of the Borrower, and other persons, and agreements, instruments and other documents, and have made such other investigation, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon, and assumed without independent investigation the accuracy of, the representations made by the parties to the Loan Documents (other than those which are expressed as our opinions).

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. For the purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have further assumed (i) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing any Loan Document; (ii) that there is no oral or written statement or agreement, course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade that modifies, amends or varies any of the terms of any Loan Document; (iii) that as to factual matters any certificate, representation or other document upon which we have relied and which was given or dated earlier than the date of this letter, continues to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions contained herein, from such earlier date through and including the date hereof; (iv) that there has been no mutual mistake of fact, or misrepresentation, fraud or deceit in connection with the execution, delivery, performance under, or transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents; (v) due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties thereto other than the Borrower, and that each such Loan Document is valid, binding and enforceable against all parties thereto other than the Borrower; (vi) that each of the

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

June ___, 2018

Page 2 of 7

parties to the Loan Documents other than the Borrower has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is party, and to perform its obligations thereunder; (vii) that the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not violate any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation of the State of North Carolina, the Delaware General Corporation Law or federal law or regulation), order, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority; and (viii) that if any party to any Loan Document other than the Borrower seeks to enforce its rights thereunder, such enforcement shall occur only under circumstances which are consistent with applicable law and provisions of the relevant Loan Document.

The opinions set forth herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of North Carolina, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States, and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion concerning any matter respecting or affected by any laws other than laws that a lawyer admitted to practice law in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion concerning the following legal issues or the application of any such laws or regulations to the matters on which our opinions are referenced:

(i) other than as expressly set forth in paragraph 8 below, federal and state securities laws and regulations;

(ii) Federal Reserve Board margin regulations;

(iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations;

(iv) federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, including without limitation the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976;

(v) federal and state laws and regulations concerning document filing requirements and notice;

(vi) compliance with fiduciary duty requirements;

(vii) the statutes, administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of county, municipal and special political subdivisions, whether state-level, regional or otherwise;

(viii) fraudulent transfer laws;

(ix) federal and state environmental laws and regulations;

(x) federal and state tax laws and regulations;

(xi) federal and state land use and subdivision laws and regulations;

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

June ___, 2018

Page 3 of 7

(xii) federal patent, copyright and trademark, state trademark, and other federal and state intellectual property laws and regulations;

(xiii) federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning national and local emergency;

(xiv) state and federal regulatory laws or regulations specifically applicable to any entity solely because of the business in which it is engaged;

(xv) federal and state laws and regulations concerning the condition of title to any property, the priority of any security interest or lien, or the perfection of a lien or security interest in personal property;

(xvi) laws, rules and regulations relating to money laundering and terrorist groups, including without limitation the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”), Public Law 107-56, 115 Stat. 380 (October 26, 2001), as amended, Executive Order 13224, the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 App. U.S.C. 1, et. seq., any similar or related law and the rules and regulations (temporary or permanent) promulgated under the foregoing or by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of Treasury, as each is amended from time to time; or

(xvii) the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010, Title VII of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law Xx. 000-000, 000 Xxxx. 0000 (2010) and the rules and regulations issued in connection therewith (“Xxxx-Xxxxx”).

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Based solely upon a good standing certificate issued by the Delaware Secretary of State, the Borrower is a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The Borrower has adequate corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

3. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance by it of its agreements under such documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents.

4. The Loan Documents provide that they shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, New York law. If, notwithstanding such choice of law provision, a North Carolina court were to hold that any such Loan Document is governed by, and to be construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, such Loan Document would be, under the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, the valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

June ___, 2018

Page 4 of 7

5. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the performance by the Borrower of its agreements under such documents, do not (a) violate the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (b) violate any (i) North Carolina statute, rule or regulation, (ii) the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) any federal statute, rule or regulation, in each case that a lawyer admitted to practice law in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents or (c) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under the agreements set forth on Schedule II hereto or cause the creation of any security interest or lien upon any of the property of the Borrower pursuant to any such agreements (except that we express no opinion with respect to matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination).

6. The Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, or make any filing (a) with, any United States federal or State of North Carolina governmental or regulatory agency or (b) under the Delaware General Corporation Law, to authorize its execution and delivery of, or to make valid and binding, the Loan Documents, except for those (i) obtained or made prior to the date hereof and (ii) specified in the Loan Documents.

7. We do not represent the Borrower in any action, suit or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, pending or overtly threatened in writing against the Borrower, which seeks to affect the enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

8. Based on the factual certifications in an officer’s certificate delivered to our firm in connection with this letter, the Borrower is not required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The opinion set forth in paragraph 4 is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) enforceability may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;

(b) enforcement of the Loan Documents is subject both to general principles of equity and to considerations of public policy, including the requirement that the parties thereto act with commercial reasonableness and in good faith to the extent required by applicable law, the application of which may deny certain rights and may be applied by a court of proper jurisdiction, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “general principles of equity” and “considerations of public policy” may include, but are not limited to, issues related to the right to or obligation of the appointment of a receiver in certain circumstances; the ability of an entity to appoint an attorney-in-fact; fiduciary obligations of attorneys-in-fact; the enforceability of usury savings clauses; the enforceability of confessions of judgment; waiver of procedural, substantive, or constitutional rights, including, without limitation, the right of statutory or equitable redemption; disclaimers or limitations of liability; waiver of defenses; waiver of acceleration rights through historical acceptance of late payments; the exercise of self-help or other remedies without judicial process; accounting for rent or sale proceeds; requirements of mitigation of damages; and

June ___, 2018

Page 5 of 7

enforcement of default interest provisions. Any provision waiving a right to jury trial is unenforceable as against public policy pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 22B-10;

(c) the enforceability and availability of certain remedies, rights and waiver provisions may be limited or rendered ineffective by applicable law, although the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity or lien of any Loan Document as a whole, and subject to the other exceptions noted herein, there exist legally adequate remedies for the realization of the principal benefits afforded thereby;

(d) we call to your attention that N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.2 sets forth the procedures and limitations applicable to the collection of attorneys’ fees and accordingly, any provision in the Loan Documents relating to the ability to collect attorneys’ fees upon default are subject to those limitations;

(e) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents denying the holder of any lien inferior to the liens created by the Loan Documents the ability to require the Agent to marshal assets;

(f) we express no opinion as to the right to obtain a receiver, which determination is subject to equitable principles;

(g) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents providing that the acceptance by the Agent of a past due installment or other performance by a party shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to accelerate the loan or other payment obligation. A North Carolina Court of Appeals has held that when the holder of a promissory note regularly accepted late payments, such holder is deemed to have waived its right to accelerate the debt because of late payments until it notifies the maker that prompt payments are again required. Driftwood Manor Investors v. City Federal Savings & Loan Association, 63 N.C. App. 459, 305 S.E. 2d 204 (1983);

(h) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents which requires that any amendments or waivers to the Loan Documents must be in writing;

(i) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents which directs the application of sale proceeds other than as required by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-615;

(j) we express no opinion with respect to any consent to venue, jurisdiction or service of process provisions;

(k) we express no opinion with respect to any choice of law provision;

(l) we express no opinion with respect to any severability provision;

(m) we express no opinion with respect to any right of set-off;

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

June ___, 2018

Page 6 of 7

(n) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents purporting to require a party to pay or reimburse attorneys’ fees incurred by another party or to indemnify another party therefor which may be limited by applicable law and public policy;

(o) we express no opinion with respect to any waiver of the statute of limitations contained in the Loan Documents;

(p) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to excuse a party for liability for its own acts;

(q) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to make void any act done in contravention thereof;

(r) we express no opinion with respect to any provision purporting to prohibit, restrict, or condition the assignment of rights to the extent such restriction on assignability is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code;

(s) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to authorize a party to act in its sole discretion, that imposes liquidated damages, penalties, late payment charges or an increase in interest rate after default (in the event such late payment charges or increase in interest rate is deemed to be a penalty or is otherwise contrary to public policy) or that relates to evidentiary standards or other standards by which any of the Loan Documents is to be construed;

(t) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to such party’s own negligence or willful misconduct or where such indemnification or contribution is otherwise contrary to public policy;

(u) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision intended to act as a savings clause; and

(v) we express no opinion with respect to the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents which relates to European Union Directive 2014/59/EU, the associated EU implementing legislation, or any law or regulation of any relevant member of the European Economic Area which implements such directive.

Our opinion is rendered solely in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents and may not be relied upon for any other purpose or in any manner by any person or entity other than the addressees hereof, except that we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future assignee (collectively, the “Reliance Parties”) of your rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to an assignment that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 8.06(a) of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to any person other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, (iii) any such reliance by a

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

Page 7 of 7

Reliance Party must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the Reliance Party at such time, (iv) in no event shall any such assignee have any greater rights with respect hereto than did the addressees, and (v) our consent to such reliance shall in no event constitute a reissuance of the opinions expressed herein or otherwise extend any statute of limitations applicable hereto on the date hereof.

No copies of this opinion may be delivered or furnished to any other party other than a Reliance Party, nor may all or portions of this opinion be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document without our prior written consent, except that copies of this opinion may be provided to any regulatory agency having supervisory authority over a Reliance Party and except that this opinion may be used in connection with the assertion of a defense as to which this opinion is relevant and necessary or in response to a court order or other legal process. The opinions expressed in this letter are rendered as of the date hereof and we express no opinion as to circumstances or events or change in applicable law that may occur subsequent to such date.
