(d) The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans shall be, if such Incremental Term Loans are not Tranche B-12 Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the Tranche B-12 Term Loans, as applicable; provided that, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in clause (a), then (i) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B-12 Term Loans, (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are Refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (ii) the final maturity date with respect to any New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Tranche B-12 Term Loans (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (iii) if the Yield on any New Term Loans incurred no later than 126 months after the ClosingAmendment No. 8 Funding Date exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Rate then in effect for any Tranche B-2 Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans (and if the margins on the New Term Loans are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid, appropriate increases to the Applicable Rates for the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, consistent with the foregoing, shall be made) (this clause (iii), the “MFN Adjustment”), (iv) any guarantor of any New Term Loan Facility shall also be a Guarantor; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be guaranteed by persons that are not Guarantors so long as such New Term Loan Facility is subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) if secured, such New Term Loan Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is more restrictive to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be secured by assets in accordance with Section 7.12, which assets may or may not also secure the Obligations but which shall be subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) each New Term Loan Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (vii) any New Term Loan Facility may be denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling so long as (A) the borrower thereunder is a Restricted Subsidiary that is organized in a jurisdiction that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) such New Term Loan Facility is subject to guarantee, collateral and collateral allocation arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to ESI and the Administrative Agent. Each joinder agreement referred to in Section 2.14(a) may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.
(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans that are to be additional Tranche B-12 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Tranche B-12 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Term SOFR Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of each such Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding applicable Term SOFR Loan, EURIBO Rate Loan or RFR Loan on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 3.05. If any Incremental Loans are to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan or EURIBO Rate Loan then, subject to Section 2.08(b), the interest rate applicable to such Incrementa

This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of each such Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 3.05.

(b) The creation or provision of any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (and, in connection therewith, any amendment to the terms of this Agreement that is necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions thereof or that is favorable to the then-existing Lenders, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) shall not require the approval of any existing Lender other than any existing Lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment.
(c) The terms and provisions of any New Revolving Credit Facility (other than pricing, maturity and fees) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Facility; provided that, (i) no New Revolving Credit Facility shall mature earlier than, or require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans (or, in the case of Refinancing Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that are being refinanced), (ii) any guarantor of any New Revolving Credit Facility shall also be a Guarantor; provided, that, in the event any New Revolving Credit Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Revolving Credit Facility shall be permitted to be guaranteed by persons that are not Guarantors so long as such New Term Loan Facility is subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iii) if secured, such New Revolving Credit Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be secured by assets in accordance with Section 7.12, which assets may or may not also secure the Obligations but which shall be subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iv) each New Revolving Credit Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
(d) The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans shall be, if such Incremental Term Loans are not Tranche B-2 Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, as applicable; provided that, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in clause (a), then (i) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are Refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (ii) the final maturity date with respect to any New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (iii) if the Yield on any New Term Loans incurred no later than 6 months after the Amendment No. 8 Funding Date exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Rate then in effect for any Tranche B-2 Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans (and if the margins on the New Term Loans are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid, appropriate increases to the Applicable Rates for the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, consistent with the foregoing, shall be made) (this clause (iii), the “MFN Adjustment”), (iv) any guarantor of any New Term Loan Facility shall also be a Guarantor; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be guaranteed by persons that are not Guarantors so long as such New Term Loan Facility is subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) if secured, such New Term Loan Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is more restrictive to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be secured by assets in accordance with Section 7.12, which assets may or may not also secure the Obligations but which shall be subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) each New Term Loan Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (vii) any New Term Loan Facility may be denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling so long as (A) the borrower thereunder is a Restricted Subsidiary that is organized in a jurisdiction that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) such New Term Loan Facility is subject to guarantee, collateral and collateral allocation arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to ESI and the Administrative Agent. Each joinder agreement referred to in Section 2.14(a) may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.
(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans that are to be additional Tranche B-23 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Tranche B-23 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Term SOFR Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of each such Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding applicable Term SOFR Loan, EURIBO Rate Loan or RFR Loan on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 3.05. If any Incremental Loans are to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan or EURIBO Rate Loan then, subject to Section 2.08(b), the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Loan for th
