Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Any reference herein to “the date hereof”, “the date of this Agreement” and words of similar import shall be deemed to mean the Effective Date. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein, including in Section 6.08), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented, reenacted or redesignated from time to time and (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, for purposes of determining:

Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 1.07 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of the Letter of Credit Documents related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof (or the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder), the amount of such Letter of Credit (other than for purposes of Section 2.11) shall be deemed to be the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 The Commitments; Revolving Credit Loans; Term Loans; Incremental Term Loans. Subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lenders severally agree to make Loans, in each case as set forth below:

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender having an Available Revolving Credit Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Revolving Credit Loans, in Dollars, to the Borrowers, from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount that will result in neither (x) such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment nor (y) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) Term Loans. Each Term Lender having a Term Loan Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Term Loans in Dollars to GEO on the Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Effective Date. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Incremental Term Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and (b) above, respectively, from time to time, GEO may request that any one or more of the Lenders or, at the option of GEO, other financial institutions or funds selected by GEO offer to enter into commitments to make additional term loans (“Incremental Term Loans”) to GEO, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount. In the event that one or more of the Lenders or such other financial institutions or funds offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders or financial institutions or funds and GEO agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders or financial institutions or funds making such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by GEO in connection therewith, such Lenders or financial institutions or funds shall become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and such financial institutions shall become “Incremental Lenders” hereunder). The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any such agreement between GEO and any such Incremental Lenders in response to any such request by GEO shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(1) the First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loans (and the use of proceeds therefrom) on a pro forma basis (but without netting cash proceeds thereof) shall not exceed 2.25:1.00;

(2) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any such request (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be (A) $20,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 or (B) any other amount consented to by the Administrative Agent;

(3) the Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the collateral security and Guarantees provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents on an equal and ratable basis with each other Loan hereunder;

(4) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall have the interest rate and upfront, participation and other fees as shall be agreed upon by GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that if the All-In-Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans that are secured on a pari passu basis and having equal payment priority with the Term Loans exceeds the All-In-Yield relating to the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loan Amendment by more than 0.50%, the All-In-Yield relating to the Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the All-In-Yield relating to the Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%;

(5) the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall (i) have the commitment reduction schedule (if any), amortization and maturity date as shall be agreed upon by GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that (A) the maturity for such Series of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date and (B) the weighted average-life-to-maturity for such Series of Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) share in any mandatory prepayment (other than scheduled amortization payments) of Loans hereunder on a pro rata basis as provided in Section 2.10(b); provided that GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any such prepayments on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis); and

(6) the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be subject to such conditions to effectiveness and initial credit extension as shall be agreed upon by the applicable Incremental Lenders, GEO and the Administrative Agent (which agreement by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that GEO shall be in compliance with Section 5.11(c) as of such date; provided, further, that GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders shall be permitted to modify or waive (without the need for consent or approval from any other Lender or the Administrative Agent) any or all of the conditions to the initial Borrowing of the applicable Incremental Term Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any requirements hereunder with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment itself, including, without limitation, clauses (1) through (5) above) set forth in this Agreement, including Section 4.02 (other than with respect to (x) the absence of any Event of Default under any of Sections 7.01(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j), (y) the accuracy of customary “specified representations” or (z) the immediately preceding proviso), in any transaction where the net cash proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan will be used to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement.

Following the acceptance by GEO of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(e), each such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Incremental Term Loans to

GEO on a Business Day during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in the agreement entered into with respect to such Series (such agreement, an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the applicable Loan Parties may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature (without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document) as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement any Incremental Term Loans or Commitments in respect thereof pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 2.01(e).

(f) Incremental Equivalent Debt. The Borrowers may, upon the delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice thereof specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof not less than ten days, and not more than sixty days, prior to the proposed effective date thereof (the “Incremental Equivalent Debt Effective Date”), issue or incur, in lieu of Incremental Term Loans, Indebtedness consisting of one or more series of senior secured first lien notes, junior lien notes, junior lien loans, subordinated notes or senior unsecured notes or unsecured loans, in each case, issued in a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement transactions, or secured or unsecured mezzanine Indebtedness or debt securities (such Indebtedness, collectively, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) so long as the First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (and the use of proceeds therefrom) on a pro forma basis (but without netting cash proceeds thereof) does not exceed 2.25:1.00, the Incremental Amount plus (ii) so long as each of the Total Leverage Ratio and the First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (and the use of proceeds therefrom) on a pro forma basis (but without netting cash proceeds thereof) do not exceed the Total Leverage Ratio and the First Lien Leverage Ratio, respectively, immediately prior to such incurrence, an amount equal to the amount of Term Loans substantially concurrently repaid with the proceeds of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (any such refinancing under this clause (ii), a “Specified Term Loan Refinancing”), it being understood and agreed that (x) any Specified Term Loan Refinancing shall be subject to the other terms of this Agreement relating to prepayment of the Term Loans, including, without limitation, Section 2.10 and (y) the prepayment of Term Loans in connection with any Specified Term Loan Refinancing will not (except with respect to Incremental Equivalent Debt as set forth in this clause (ii)) increase the capacity to incur Indebtedness under this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(1) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not at any time be incurred by any Person other than a Borrower or guaranteed by any Person other than a Loan Party, and, if secured, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be secured by property other than the Collateral, and a representative acting on behalf of the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have entered into an Intercreditor Agreement and a subordination agreement (if applicable), in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(2) Section 2.01(e)(2), (4), (5) and (6) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Incremental Equivalent Debt; and

(3) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, (x) the pricing (including interest, fees and premiums), optional prepayment and redemption terms with respect such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be determined by the Borrowers and the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt, and (y) the other terms of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be, when taken as a whole, no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) to the lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt than those applicable to the Term Loans (except to the extent (A) such terms are added in the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders pursuant to an amendment hereto or thereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or (B) applicable solely to periods after the latest Maturity Date existing at the time of such incurrence).

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or of SOFR Loans as GEO may request in accordance herewith.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000. Borrowings of more than one Class and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight SOFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a SOFR Borrowing):

(i) any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date;

(ii) any Term Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iii) any Term Borrowing of any Class, if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date; and

Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.04(c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall notify GEO of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04(c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04(c) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, GEO may request any Issuing Lender to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination, which Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or, with the applicable Issuing Lender’s consent (in its sole discretion) in any Agreed Foreign Currency. Letters of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(ii) Subject to the requirements and conditions set forth in the definition of “Rollover Letters of Credit” in Section 1.01, following written notice from GEO to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall have been acknowledged and accepted by the relevant Issuing Lender), each Rollover Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto on the date the relevant Permitted Acquisition shall have been consummated, and as of and from such date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(iii) On the Effective Date, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be rolled over and shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit that have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.05, and accordingly, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be entitled to receive all of the benefits of, and be bound by, the terms contained herein and in the other Loan Documents.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), GEO shall deliver to an Issuing Lender (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(d)), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such notice may be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Lender. Such notice shall be given to the Issuing Lender and all Revolving Credit Lenders (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or four Business Days if longer notice is determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be required) before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, issue, amend, renew or extend the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon request by any such Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Xxxxxx’s participation therein.

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

an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (iii) of Section 2.05(c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(iii) [Reserved].

(iv) If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall also submit a Letter of Credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

(v) In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(i) A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, and (C) any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the foregoing).

(ii) [Reserved].

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

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided, that such date may be later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date if and so long as such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized no later than such fifth prior Business Day in accordance with Section 2.05(k).

(e) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(i) 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 Commitments.

(ii) In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.05(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that any Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that any Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that, if the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(f) 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 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 in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (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 2.05(g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, 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 by the respective Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder) or any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

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

(ii) any Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

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

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and GEO in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender 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 Borrowers of their respective obligations to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers 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 Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such applicable LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(f), then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.05(i) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement between GEO, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and the successor Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include, as applicable, such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that GEO receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c), or (iii) GEO shall elect to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(d), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”), which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the amount required under Section 2.10(c); provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in Sections 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in respect of the Lenders’ LC Exposure and the other amounts contemplated by this paragraph.

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) or (iii) pursuant to Section 2.05(d), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to GEO within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived (in the case of clause (i) of this sentence), as provided in said Section 2.10(c)(ii) (in the case of clause (ii) of this sentence) or after the termination of the applicable Letter of Credit (in the case of clause (iii) of this sentence).

(l) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and GEO when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Xxxxxxx. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or the Borrowers (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) by promptly wiring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or the Borrowers (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) designated by GEO in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount to GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing), or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing). In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing), the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing) severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to GEO or any Borrower, as applicable, to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to GEO (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Term Borrowing), or the Borrowers (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Revolving Credit Borrowing) the amount of such interest paid by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall be without prejudice to any claim GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by GEO for Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, GEO may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. GEO may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if GEO were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by GEO.

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

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

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

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

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If GEO fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such SOFR Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, GEO shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies GEO, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate in full at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate in full on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate in full on the close of business on the commitment termination date specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be in an amount that is $3,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) GEO shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under Section 2.08(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by GEO pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by GEO may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, or the consummation of any transaction that would otherwise require the consent of one or more Lenders hereunder, in which case such notice may be revoked by GEO (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(e) Increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(i) Requests for Increase. GEO may, from time to time at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, propose that the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount. Each such proposal shall be made by notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional

lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed (in its sole discretion) to increase or to assume a Revolving Credit Commitment and the date on which such increase or assumption is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and at least 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided that:

(A) the First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (and the use of proceeds therefrom) on a pro forma basis (assuming the full amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is drawn and without netting cash proceeds thereof) shall not exceed 2.25:1.00;

(B) the minimum amount of any such increase shall be (1) $20,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 or (2) any other amount consented to by the Administrative Agent, and the minimum amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(D) GEO shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of GEO stating that, on and as of such Commitment Increase Date, (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(E) each Assuming Lender shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in the reasonable exercise of their discretion; and

(F) GEO shall be in compliance with Section 5.11(c) as of such Commitment Increase Date.

(ii) Effectiveness of Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Each Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date; provided that:

(A) each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a later time on such date, or on an earlier date, in each case specified by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), an agreement (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Amendment”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GEO and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Revolving Credit Commitment or an increase of Revolving Credit Commitment duly executed by such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender and each Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(B) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a later time on such date, or on an earlier date, in each case specified by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) such proof of corporate action, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.01 and reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, any Assuming Lender and/or any Increasing Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

Promptly following satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date.

(iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Amendment (together with any applicable Lender Addendum) executed by an Assuming Lender or any Increasing Lender, together with the certificate referred to in clause (i)(D) above and the satisfaction of the conditions referred to in clause (ii)(B) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement (and any applicable Lender Addendum) has been completed, (x) accept such agreement (and any Lender Addenda thereto), (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to GEO.

(iv) Adjustments of Borrowings. On the Commitment Increase Date, the Borrowers shall (A) prepay in full the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (if any) made to them, (B) simultaneously borrow new Revolving Credit Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment and (C) pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.14 as a result of any such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B) hereinabove, (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Borrowings are held ratably by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders (after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase). Concurrently therewith, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding RCF LCs and Swingline Loans so that such interests are held ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments as so increased.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Term Loan Repayment. GEO hereby unconditionally promises to repay:

(i) the Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term Lenders, (x) commencing with the Principal Payment Date occurring on June 30, 2024, on each Principal Payment Date prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, in each case in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of (1) any prepayment in accordance with Section 2.09(c) or (2) any deemed cancellation pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 9.04(b)), and (y) on the Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the Term Loan Maturity Date;

(ii) [reserved];

(iii) [reserved]; and

(iv) any Incremental Term Loans to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Incremental Lender of any Series, the principal of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series on the dates and in the amounts specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

(b) Revolving Credit Loans Repayment. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to repay:

(i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; and

(ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Swingline Lender or, to the extent required by Section 2.04(c), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Credit Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(c) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class, shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the applicable Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section 2.09 (i) in the case of any optional prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a), as directed by GEO and (ii) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant in Section 2.10(b), in direct order of maturity.

(d) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, and subject (in the case of a prepayment) to any applicable provisions of Section 2.10, GEO shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment;

provided that each repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If GEO fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(e) Maintenance of Records by Xxxxxxx. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Xxxxxx from time to time hereunder.

(f) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers 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.

(g) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(e) or (f) shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, GEO (in the case of any Term Loan Note) or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan Note), as applicable, shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns.

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. GEO or Corrections, as applicable, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section and, if applicable, Section 2.22. In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans are prepaid (including by conversion, extension or amendment with similar effect) pursuant to this Section 2.10(a), GEO shall pay in cash to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Term Lenders, a Prepayment Premium pursuant to Section 2.10(d). Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be without Prepayment Premium.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. GEO or Corrections, as applicable, will prepay the Loans as follows:

(i) Casualty Events. Upon the date 270 days following the receipt by GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event after the Effective Date affecting any property of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or upon such earlier date as GEO or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by such Casualty Event), so long as the aggregate amount of Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event exceeds $5,000,000, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore applied or committed to be applied (and if committed to be applied, not actually applied within 450 days following the receipt of such proceeds) to the repair or replacement of such property, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v). Nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any of the Security Documents to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty Event.

(ii) Sale of Assets. If (A)(x) the Net Available Proceeds of any individual Disposition, excluding the Disposition of Xxxxxxx Xxxx, received after the Effective Date exceed $5,000,000 and are equal to or less than $50,000,000 and (y) the Total Leverage Ratio after giving effect to such Disposition on a pro forma basis exceeds 2.75:1.00 or (B) the Net Available Proceeds of any individual Disposition, excluding the Disposition of Xxxxxxx Xxxx, received after the Effective Date exceed $50,000,000, then, in each case, promptly upon the consummation of such Disposition (and in any event within 5 Business Days thereof), GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii) with respect to the Net Available Proceeds from any Disposition, if (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date or during the Applicable Period (prior to the date the Net Available Proceeds are used or otherwise invested as provided in this sentence) and (y) such Net Available Proceeds are used for one or more acquisitions or otherwise reinvested in the Permitted Business of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries within the Applicable Period (as defined below) for such Disposition (it being understood that Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be used in the same order in which the related Dispositions occurred); provided that any such Net Available Proceeds not so used on or before the last day of the Applicable Period for such Disposition shall be forthwith applied as provided above. For purposes hereof, “Applicable Period” means, with respect to any Disposition, the period starting on the day such Disposition is consummated and ending on the date falling 270 days thereafter, except that if GEO or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary agrees in a legally binding commitment to reinvest the Net Available Proceeds from such Disposition (pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) in the construction and equipping of one or more Facilities on or before such 270th day, the Applicable Period for such Disposition shall be extended automatically by 18 months. Prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of any Disposition, GEO shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (for further distribution to the Lenders) a statement, certified by a Financial Officer of GEO, in form and detail reasonably

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the amount of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition (except that such statement shall not be required for any Disposition the Net Available Proceeds of which are less than or equal to $50,000,000); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such certified statement may be supplemented or modified in writing by such Financial Officer solely as to such amount of Net Available Proceeds if and to the extent (and during such time as) a corresponding supplement or modification shall be delivered by such Financial Officer pursuant to the final proviso to the definition of “Net Available Proceeds” set forth in Section 1.01.

(iii) Excess Cash Flow. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, GEO, shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date that financial statements for such fiscal quarter are delivered (or required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, prepay the Loans in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(v), in an aggregate amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter.

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) Application. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, prepayments shall be applied as follows:

first, ratably between the Term Loans and each Series of Incremental Term Loans (if any) in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of such outstanding Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (subject to the terms of any Incremental Term Loan Amendment providing for prepayment on a less than pro rata basis);

second, to prepay Swingline Loans (with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments);

third, to pay unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties; and

fourth, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans (with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may decline any such mandatory prepayment to which it is otherwise entitled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (and only for so long as) the repatriation to the United States of cash that would otherwise constitute Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that the applicable Borrower must apply to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, (x) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law or the terms of any Subsidiary’s or joint venture’s organizational documents or (y) would, in GEO’s reasonable good-faith determination (as made in consultation with the Administrative Agent), result in material adverse Tax consequences to GEO or its Restricted Subsidiaries, then after the Borrowers’ use of commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such delay or Tax consequences, the applicable

Borrower may exclude the affected portion of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, in calculating the amount of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow required to be applied to prepay the Loans. The Borrowers’ determinations pursuant to this paragraph shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of GEO delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the date the prepayment would otherwise be due.

(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on each date that GEO shall request a Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding face amount of any Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Letter of Credit, determined as of such Quarterly Date, date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, Swingline Borrowing, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and GEO thereof.

(ii) Prepayment and Cover. If, on the date of such determination (after giving effect to any prior or substantially concurrent deposit made by the Borrowers, at their option, to the Collateral Account) either (x) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (such excess, an “RCF Excess”), the Borrowers shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days following GEO’s receipt of such request:

(A) if any Swingline Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, prepay all such Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Loans or such portion thereof as is sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess, and

(B) if such prepayment is not sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess, provide cover for the LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.05(k) in an amount sufficient to eliminate the RCF Excess.

(iii) Release of Cover. If, on the date of such determination, the amount of the cover provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii)(B) and then held by the Administrative Agent exceeds the RCF Excess (such excess, a “Refundable Excess”) on such date (or if such RCF Excess is less than or equal to zero), and no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by GEO, within three Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request, return to the Borrowers the amount of the Refundable Excess (or, if the RCF Excess is less than or equal to zero, the full amount of such cover).

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or any Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure.

Any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii)(A) shall be applied, first, to Swingline Loans outstanding and second, to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding.

(d) Prepayment Premium. In the event that (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans are prepaid (x) pursuant to Section 2.10(a), or (y) without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to clause (ii) below, pursuant to any foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale or other disposition of or realization upon any Collateral or any other satisfaction, release, restructuring, reorganization, defeasance or compromise of any Obligations in any insolvency or other similar proceeding (under Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise), or (ii) automatically upon any acceleration of the Term Loans (or any portion thereof) pursuant to Section 7.01 (including an automatic acceleration following any event with respect to any Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i)) (each of the events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Prepayment Premium Trigger Event”), GEO shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Term Lenders, a prepayment premium (each, a “Prepayment Premium”) in the amount of, if such prepayment is made, (a) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan that is being so prepaid, (b) on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan that is being so prepaid, (c) on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date 0.00%. Such amounts shall be deemed earned on the Effective Date and shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment.

(e) Notices, Etc. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, five (5) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, any other information required to be in such notice pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of any Term Loan Commitments, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 or if a notice of prepayment of any Term Loans is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, or the consummation of any transaction that would otherwise require the consent of one or more Lenders hereunder, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked by GEO (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any

Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the relevant Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and outstanding LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Revolving Credit SOFR Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) in respect of performance Letters of Credit or other Letters of Credit, as applicable, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between GEO and such Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure in respect of any such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All such participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(f) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Lender in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, participation fees and closing fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) SOFR Loans. The Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder (other than any such amounts solely in respect of any SOFR Borrowing) not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a); and

(ii) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder solely in respect of a SOFR Borrowing not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus (x) until the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Borrowing, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.12(b), or (y) from and after the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Borrowing, the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a).

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

(f) Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of GEO or for any other reason, GEO, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio as calculated by GEO as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This Section 2.12(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.05(i), 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.12(c) or under Article VII. GEO’s or the Borrowers’ respective obligations under this Section 2.12(f) shall not terminate until the payment by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, of the principal of and interest on the applicable Loans and all other outstanding obligations owing by them under the Loan Documents, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the expiration or termination of the Commitments if at such time no demand shall have been made for payment (and no amount shall have become automatically due) under this Section 2.12(f).

(g) Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 2.24, if prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing:

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

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of the relevant Class that Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to GEO and the Lenders by telephone or in writing as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies GEO and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(h) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

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

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

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any participation in such Loan or Letter of Credit;

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or (b) and delivered to GEO shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies GEO of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by GEO pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, GEO (with respect to any such Term Borrowing) or the Borrowers (with respect to any such Revolving Credit Borrowing), as applicable, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to GEO and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) solely to the extent such Taxes constitute Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the relevant Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (ii) the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(b), the Borrowers shall timely pay (or cause to be paid), or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Payee, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by any Payee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to any such Payee and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to GEO by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(f) Status of Payees. Each Payee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Payee, if reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by GEO or the Administrative Agent as will enable GEO or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Payee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B) and (D) of Section 2.15(f)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Payee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Payee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Payee.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrowers are each U.S. Borrowers,

(A) any Payee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Payee becomes a Payee under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of GEO or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Payee is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Payee claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Payee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Payee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Payee is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Payee is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Payee are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Payee may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Payee under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Payee 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 Payee shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by GEO 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 GEO or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for either Xxxxxxxx and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxx has complied with such Payee’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

Each Payee 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 GEO and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Payee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to GEO an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that, GEO, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxx, agrees to repay the amount paid over to GEO pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Payee in the event the Administrative Agent or such Payee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, be required to pay any amount to GEO pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Payee, as applicable, would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.15(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Payee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to GEO or any other Person.

(h) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the relevant Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of any relevant Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or any Participant of such Lender (or, in the case of a Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such Lender) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any 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 Section 2.15(h).

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Documents.

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder (other than a payment of principal or interest on any Loan or the Prepayment Premium) shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be the next preceding Business Day. All amounts owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided herein or therein) shall be payable in Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, their respective Available Revolving Credit Commitments) of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

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

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16(d) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant.

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from GEO prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e), Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.16(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (2) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (3) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by GEO which has been approved by (a) if, at such time, the Term Loan Exposure exceeds 35% of the Aggregate Credit Facilities Amount, the Required Term Lenders and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, or (b) if, at such time, the Term Loan Exposure does not exceed 35% of the Aggregate Credit Facilities Amount, the Required Lenders but, in each case, which requires the consent of such Lender (or such Lender and other Lenders) to become effective, then, in each case GEO may, at its sole expense (and without any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to cooperate or assist in any way in locating an assignee), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (except as provided below in this Section 2.17(b), in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) in the case of any Lender that does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, terminate the Commitments of such Lender and pay to such Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14); provided that:

(i) if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, GEO shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) in the case of any such replacement due to the replaced Lender not consenting to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, each replacement Lender shall consent (and by accepting such assignment shall be deemed to have consented), at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such replaced Xxxxxx shall not have consented.

In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Xxxxxx does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption by the replacement Lender, the Administrative Agent may (and the replaced Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to, in the name of and on behalf of the replaced Lender) execute such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation on behalf of the replaced Xxxxxx and, in such event (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04), such replaced Xxxxxx shall be deemed to have duly executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation to the Administrative Agent and the replacement Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling GEO to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

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

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in Section 2.18(c)(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, GEO shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, on a pro rata basis, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.18(c)(i)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if XXX xxxx collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, GEO shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure as applicable, is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall 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 Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by GEO in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize on a pro rata basis each Issuing Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as GEO may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and GEO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (ii) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposures and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.18(c). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, GEO, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (or if such Defaulting Lender has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.17), then (i) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s (or replacement Xxxxxx’s) Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender (or replacement Lender) shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender (or replacement Lender) to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and (ii) all cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.18(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be immediately released to the Borrowers.

Section 2.19 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, in each case as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and GEO, and (i) the commitments of such Lender hereunder to make or continue SOFR Loans and to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as SOFR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (iii) during the period of such illegality (x) any Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be made or continued as SOFR Loans shall instead be made or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. If any such conversion of a SOFR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

Section 2.20 GEO as Borrowers’ Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints GEO as its representative and agent on its behalf for purposes of all requests in respect of Loans (including Borrowing Requests and Interest Election Requests), delivering certificates, giving instructions with respect to disbursements of proceeds of Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (on behalf of itself and any other Borrower) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. GEO hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from GEO as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each representation, warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of any other Borrower by GEO shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 2.21 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All Obligations under this Agreement that are stated under this Agreement to be Obligations of both Borrowers, including their Obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans), shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower (such Obligations, “Joint and Several Obligations”). Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely with respect to the Joint and Several Obligations and to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans from any Borrowing hereunder, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the Obligations of such Xxxxxxxx would

otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Section 2.21(a) in respect of such Obligations, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to any right of contribution) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the Release Date it shall not exercise any direct or indirect right or remedy arising as a result of such Joint and Several Obligations, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the other Borrower or any other Guarantor.

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that a Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder in respect of Joint and Several Obligations, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrower. Each Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.21(b). The provisions of this Section 2.21(c) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of either Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders for the full amount of all Joint and Several Obligations.

(d) The Joint and Several Obligations of the Borrowers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Joint and Several Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Borrowers hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any guarantee of any of the Joint and Several Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.02, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an Issuing Lender, any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.02 or otherwise.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the other Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers waive, to the extent permitted by law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers’ Joint and Several Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or either of them or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Joint and Several Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.

Section 2.22 Refinancing Facilities.

(a) Refinancing Term Loans. GEO may, on one or more occasions, upon giving no less than five Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (which notice may take the form of a draft of the relevant Refinancing Term Facility Supplement) (the “Refinancing Term Loan Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, refinance all (and not less than all) of the Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans of any Series with new term loans under this Agreement (such new term loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”).

Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement such Refinancing Term Loans or the Commitments in respect thereof pursuant to, and to otherwise give effect to, the provisions of this Section 2.22(a).

(vii) Any Refinancing Term Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and shall rank pari passu with the remaining Term Loans (if any), or Incremental Term Loans not refinanced therewith and the other Obligations in right of payment and in priority with respect to the Liens created under the Security Documents; it being understood that (x) the borrower of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be GEO and (y) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not have any obligors that are not Loan Parties or any “restricted subsidiaries” that are not Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as to the occurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan Effective Date.

(b) Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers may, on one or more occasions, upon giving no less than five Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (which notice may take the form of a draft of the relevant Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment) (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, refinance all (and not less than all) of the Revolving Credit Commitments with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (such refinancing of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments”). Each such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Notice shall specify the date (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date”), which shall be a Business Day, on which the Borrowers propose that such refinancing shall be consummated. Any such refinancing, and the incurrence of Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, shall be subject to the following:

The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal.

(vii) Any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment hereto and, to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents (the “Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by each of the Borrowers, each Lender providing the Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Administrative Agent, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender or Loan Party).

Each Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, may effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of a technical or administrative nature as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and GEO, in order to establish and implement such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to, and to otherwise give effect to, the provisions of this Section 2.22(b).

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as to the effectiveness of any Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments Effective Date.

Section 2.23 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by this Agreement pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by GEO, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, and any such exchange, continuation or rollover shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that any payment be made “in Dollars” (or the relevant alternate currency), “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.24(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.24, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.24; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Benchmark Replacement to constitute a “qualified rate” within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6(b).

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Counterparty and a potential Cash Management Bank) and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

132

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent and each Person named as a Lead Arranger hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving or named as the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger hereunder in such Person’s individual capacity. Such Persons and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with GEO or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to GEO or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the final paragraph of Section 7.01 or Section 9.02);

133

provided that any act or omission to act taken by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) shall not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the exercise of its “sole” or “absolute” discretion as expressly provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” and describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by GEO, a Lender or an Issuing Lender;

(d) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(e) Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document or related documents shall obligate the Administrative Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

134

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 8.06 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.

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

(b) If the Administrative Agent adopts policies or makes any public statement that it no longer intends to support (or to reduce its support of) the businesses of its clients operating in the same or similar industries as GEO (“Adverse Administrative Agent”), GEO may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove any Person serving as Administrative Agent, in which case, the Required Lenders may, in consultation with GEO, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. For purposes of this Section 8.06(b), the determination of the Required Lenders shall not give effect to the outstanding loans and commitments of any Lender who is, or who is an Affiliate of, the Adverse Administrative Agent.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent,

135

all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15(i) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring, retired or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall (to the extent not already discharged as provided above) be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between GEO and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (x) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Secured Parties and (y) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring and/or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each Issuing Xxxxxx agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring and/or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

136

Section 8.08 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders (or number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be pari passu with, or junior to, the Liens in favor of the other obligations secured by such Security Document, in which event the Administrative Agent may consent to such Lien and the documentation therefor, provided that, unless such Lien is permitted hereunder, the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders (or number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) shall have consented thereto), alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of such collateral, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents from their Guarantee obligations thereunder; provided, further, that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized, at its option and in its sole discretion, to (a) release (or to confirm or further evidence the release of) (i) any Lien covering property (and to release any such Guarantor) that (x) is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder, a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders (or number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) have consented or the designation of any such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.09(d), (y) at such time constitutes Excluded Property or Excluded Real Property, or (z) the release of which has been consented to by such Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02, (ii) any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or a Guarantor, as applicable, as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or a designation pursuant to Section 5.09(d), and (iii) all of the Liens under the Loan Documents and all of the Loan Parties from their obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case under this clause (iii) upon the occurrence of the Release Date, (b) subordinate (or to confirm or further evidence the subordination of) any Lien covering property that is the subject of any Permitted Land Use Encumbrance to such Permitted Land Use Encumbrance or (c) consent to any Permitted Land Use Encumbrance.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders (or number or percentage of the Lenders) as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 8.08. In each case as specified in this Section 8.08, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the

137

applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.08.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon the written request of GEO at any time, any existing Mortgage may be released so long as (i) the Borrowers shall continue to otherwise satisfy the Material Real Property NBV Threshold requirement (whether through existing Mortgages or by the designation of one or more replacement Material Real Properties and the delivery of new Mortgages on such replacement Material Real Properties), (ii) the Material Real Property encumbered by such Mortgage does not have a net book value that exceeds the Material Real Property Threshold and (iii) the applicable Material Real Property does not secure (or is substantially concurrently released from) any Senior Notes or Incremental Equivalent Debt.

Section 8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03.

138

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Lender or in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (xii) of Section 9.02(b)), and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 8.10 Hedge Counterparties and Cash Management Banks. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty that obtains the benefits of any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its (or its Affiliate’s) capacity

139

as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or obligations under Hedging Agreements of Hedge Counterparties unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Cash Management Obligations or obligations under Hedging Agreements of Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be.

Section 8.11 Lead Arrangers. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the Left Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 8.12 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

140

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender or Issuing Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender and Issuing Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12), the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Loan Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not apply to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Loan Parties for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by Law, each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, without prior written notice to any Lender or Issuing Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

141

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document or the termination of the Loan Documents.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or GEO may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(d) Platform. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, GEO, its Subsidiaries and the Other Consolidated Persons hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks, DebtDomain or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) or otherwise in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s standard practices, and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to GEO, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities of any of the foregoing (collectively, “MNPI”) (each, a “Public Lender”)). Each Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of foreign or United States Federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12(b)), (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor,” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless GEO notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains MNPI: (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) any notification of changes in the terms of the Commitments or the Loans and (iii) all information furnished pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (b) and (e).

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY COMMUNICATIONS ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND

144

INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWERS’ OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES’ OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided above) specifying that the communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

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

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into (x) if, at such time, the Term Loan Exposure exceeds 35% of the Aggregate Credit Facilities Amount, by the Borrowers, the Required Term Lenders (except as set forth in clause (xii) below) and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Term Lenders (except as set forth in clause (xii) below) and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or (y) if, at such time, the Term Loan Exposure does not exceed 35% of the Aggregate Credit Facilities Amount, by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (except as set forth in clause (xii) below) or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (except as set forth in clause (xii) below); provided that, in each case, no such agreement shall:

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Xxxxxx (it being understood that the waiver of a condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments, in each case shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

145

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute such a reduction);

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding amendments to Section 2.10(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments, in each case shall not constitute such a postponement, reduction, waiver or excusal);

(iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) or any similar provision in any Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders” or any other provision hereof expressly specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(vi) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) for all LC Disbursements, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(vii) release the Borrowers from their obligations under the Loan Documents (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(viii) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(ix) (a) release (x) all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions or (y) other than in connection with (1) the release of a Mortgage pursuant to and in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 8.08 or (2) a Disposition of the Collateral thereunder permitted by this Agreement, any of the Mortgages (it being understood that any (A) modification of the definition of the term “Material Real Property” or (B) exercise of discretion by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, in each case shall not constitute such a release), or (b) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document and release any guarantees or Liens or pledges in connection therewith so as to (x) release the Liens of the Secured Parties in all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or

146

substantially all of the value of the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or subordinate the rights or claims of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, or (y) permit the release or Disposition of all or substantially all of the outstanding Equity Interests, all or substantially all of the assets, or all or substantially all of the business of, GEO, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, other than, in each case, the payment in full, in cash, of the Obligations, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(x) change Section 2.10(b)(v) or Section 7.02 or Section 5.4 of the Collateral Agreement in a manner that would alter the application of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(xii) (i) amend or otherwise modify Section 6.09(c) (or solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in such Section, any defined terms used therein), (ii) waive or consent to any Default or Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 6.09(c), (iii) alter the rights or remedies of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders arising pursuant to Article VII as a result of a breach of Section 6.09(c) or (iv) waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, Swingline Borrowing or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that the amendments, modifications, waivers and consents described in this clause (xii) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (and, as applicable, the Swingline Lender);

and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties responsibilities, obligations or indemnities of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, respectively.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that the waiver of a condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments, in each case shall not constitute an increase or extension of any Commitment of any Lender) and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

147

Notwithstanding any other language to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification to which the Administrative Agent’s consent is not required, the parties agree to deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each such amendment, waiver or modification; provided that, (i) no party shall be liable for its failure to comply with this sentence and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any such amendment unless and until it has received a copy thereof.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c) Amend and Extend. Subject to the last paragraph of clause (b) above, notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any amendment or modification that extends the date required for the payment of principal of any Loan of any Class and/or the termination date for any Commitment of any Class (which amendment or modification may but shall not be required to include increasing the Applicable Rate for any Lender that agrees to such extension for its Loans and/or Commitments of such Class (a “Consenting Lender”)) shall require only the consents of (i) the Borrowers and the Guarantors, (ii) such Consenting Lender, (iii) the Required Lenders of such Class, (iv) the Administrative Agent and (v) if such Class includes Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, each Issuing Lender affected thereby and the Swingline Lender. No such extension shall apply to any Loan or any Commitment of any Lender that is not a Consenting Lender.

(d) Waivers of Certain Conditions. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling any Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class for purposes of the Commitments of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and (y) no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans to acquire any Term Loan, (III) GEO shall disclose in writing to the assigning Lender (prior to the entering into of an Assignment and Assumption or other agreement in respect of such assignment) its identity as the purchaser of such Term Loans, and (IV) the assigning Lender and the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager, if applicable, an Assignment and Assumption; (B) immediately upon the consummation of any purchase by GEO pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), all Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so purchased and cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, may not be resold by GEO), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (I) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased and cancelled), (II) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (III) the determination of Required Lenders (or Required Term Lenders), or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (C) the purchase price paid by GEO in connection with any such purchases shall be paid only in cash. In connection with any Term Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and (y) obligated pursuant to Section 2.17(g), in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by GEO or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

154

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion (provided that any such portion shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Term Loan Commitment, an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or a Refinancing Term Loan Commitment) of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse any Borrowing, extend the term or increase the amount of the applicable Commitment of such Lender, reduce the amount of any fees to which such Participant is entitled, extend any scheduled payment date for principal of any Loan or, except as expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, release substantially all of the collateral granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any such case in a manner that would affect such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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. This Section 9.04(d) shall be construed so that the Loans and other obligations hereunder are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations), including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

155

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with GEO’s prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless GEO is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Sections 2.15(f) and (h) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any of the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Lender Addendum.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement (and any amendment hereto or waiver hereunder) may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), including the Lender Addenda, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement (including the Lender Addenda) and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as

156

provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or in “Portable Document Format” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Lender Addendum. Each Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent (i) a counterpart of this Agreement duly executed by such Lender or (ii) a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Xxxxxx and GEO, and, by executing this Agreement or a Lender Addendum, each such Xxxxxx agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof as a Lender hereunder.

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

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Xxxxxx agrees to notify GEO and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

157

Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.09(b).

158

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

Section 9.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to GEO or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by GEO or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.12(b) as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating GEO and its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities established or documented under this Agreement or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities established or documented under this Agreement, (viii) with the consent of GEO or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than GEO.

159

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information shall be deemed confidential unless clearly identified as “PUBLIC” at the time of delivery. 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.

Section 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with said Patriot Act. Each Borrower hereby agrees to provide and verify any such required information promptly following the written request therefor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.14 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.15 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from them to the

160

Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrowers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agree to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.16 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.17 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

161

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

(b) As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

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

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

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

Section 9.18 Prepayment Premium(i) . It is understood and agreed that the Prepayment Premium applicable at the time of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Xxxx Xxxxxx’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Term Lender as the result of the early termination, and each Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the

162

circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium (if any) shall also become due and payable under this Agreement in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or the Obligations are reinstated pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States. In the event the Prepayment Premium is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including by operation any Debtor Relief Laws, despite such a triggering event having occurred, the Prepayment Premium shall nonetheless constitute Obligations under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT OR ACCELERATION. Each Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Term Lenders and the Borrowers giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) each Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Term Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Term Lenders to provide the Term Loan Commitments and make the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate, or to verify any Borrower’s or any Term Lender’s calculation of, any Prepayment Premium due under this Agreement.

Section 9.19 Original Issue Discount Legend. THE TERM LOANS HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE ISSUE PRICE, AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL DISCOUNT, ISSUE DATE AND YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE TERM LOANS MAY BE OBTAINED BY WRITING TO THE BORROWERS AT THEIR ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN.
