Subject to the foregoing, the term “UCC” refers, as of any date of determination, to the UCC then in effect.

1.5 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio or percentage is expressed in this Agreement and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number as specified by the number of places referenced in the applicable ratio or percentage expressed in this Agreement (with a rounding-up of if the result one place more than the number is greater than or equal to five (5) or a rounding down if the result one place more than the number is less than or equal to four (4)).

1.10 Divisions. Any restriction, condition or prohibition applicable to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, restricted payment, investment, disposition, sale, transfer, or similar term set forth in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company or a limited partnership, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company or a limited partnership (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, restricted payment, investment, disposition, sale or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company or a limited partnership shall constitute a separate Person under the Loan Documents (and (i) each division of any limited liability company or a limited partnership that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity and (ii) shall be subject to Article V (and each similar covenant in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document) to the same extent as such limited liability company or a limited partnership, immediately prior to giving effect to such division).

2.7 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set out in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Potential 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 Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Potential Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if ( 1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate Pro Rata Share, and (2) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set out in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitment Percentages under the applicable Facility. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any unused fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentages under the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.8 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Requests. The Borrower may, by written notice to Administrative Agent, request increases in the commitments for Term Loans under a new term loan tranche or under any existing term loan tranche (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, an “Incremental Term Loan”; each Incremental Term Loan Commitment are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $37,500,000 (the aggregate amount that can be incurred as of any date of determination, the “Incremental Available Amount”); provided, that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the written consent of such Lender (which shall be provided in such Lender’s sole discretion). Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof) and (B) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders), shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice).

(b) Conditions Applicable to Any Incremental Facility. In addition to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.8 that may be applicable thereto, no Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.8 unless, after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the Loans to be made thereunder, and the application of the proceeds therefrom:

(i) on a Pro Forma Basis, (i) before and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of Debt under such additional Incremental Facility (including assuming any commitment under such Incremental Facility is fully drawn) and any related pro forma event in connection therewith, the Total Leverage Ratio would not exceed 2.50:1.00, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements have been or were required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (the aggregate amount that can be incurred as of any date of determination) and (ii) after giving effect to the incurrence of Debt under such additional Incremental Facility including assuming any commitment under such Incremental Facility is fully drawn) and any related pro forma event in connection therewith, to the extent applicable, the Borrower would be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the satisfaction of the Total Leverage Ratio set forth in this clause (b) shall be subject to the Limited Condition Acquisition Provisions

(ii) no Potential Default or Default shall exist at the time of funding; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the foregoing condition shall be subject to the Limited Condition Acquisition Provisions;

(iii) such Incremental Facility shall not exceed the Incremental Available Amount;

(iv) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or a Material Adverse Effect standard in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the effective date of such funding, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct (in compliance with the foregoing standard) as of such earlier date; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the foregoing condition shall be subject to the Limited Condition Acquisition Provisions;

(v) Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying as to the applicable matters described in Section 2.8(b)(i) through 2.8(b)(iii);

(vi) each Loan under any Incremental Facility shall be used solely for purposes permitted under Section 8.16;

(vii) Administrative Agent shall have received, to the extent Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have required or requested, customary legal opinions from Borrower’s counsel, customary evidence of authorization with respect to any of the officers executing the Incremental Facility and related documentation on behalf of the Borrower, organizational documents and good standing certificates from the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in their jurisdictions of organization and a secretary certificate and officer’s certificate from Borrower and the other Loan Parties, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders providing such incremental loans in their reasonable discretion.

(c) Terms Applicable to Incremental Term Loans. In addition to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.8 that may be applicable thereto, no Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.8 unless:

(i) (x) the final maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans existing immediately prior to the Incremental Effective Date;

(ii) the Effective Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that the Effective Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable Effective Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date or any prior Incremental Facility, plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor”) with respect to the Term Loans issued on the Closing Date and any prior Incremental Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable Effective Yield under this Agreement on the Term Loans issued on the Closing Date and any prior Incremental Term Loans to equal the Effective Yield then applicable to such Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided further that if such Incremental Term Loan includes a “LIBOR floor” greater than 1.00% per annum or a “Base Rate floor” greater than 2.00% per annum, such differential between the “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor” shall be equated to the applicable Effective Yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the Terms Loans outstanding on the Closing Date and any prior Incremental Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor” in the Terms Loans outstanding on the Closing Date would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor” (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Terms Loans outstanding on the Closing Date and any prior Incremental Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between the “LIBOR floor” or “Base Rate floor” (the “MFN Provisions”);

(iii) such Incremental Term Loans: (x) subject to clause (c)(i), shall have amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders of each Incremental Term Loan and (y) may share in (on no more than a pari passu basis), repayments and prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 3.6, as specified in any Incremental Amendment; provided that, for purposes of clarity, no mandatory prepayments of an Incremental Term Loan may be imposed if the events giving rise to such prepayments do not also give rise to a prepayment of the Closing Date Term Loan; and

(iv) such Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans existing immediately prior to the Incremental Effective Date and (B)(x) shall not be secured by any Lien on any property or asset of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary that does not also secure the Term Loans existing immediately prior to the Incremental Effective Date and (y) shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Loan Parties; and

(v) except as otherwise set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), the terms of any Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to the terms applicable to the Term Loans.

(d) Offer to Lenders. Each Incremental Facility with respect to a Facility shall first be offered to the Lenders under such Facility prior to any other non-Lender Person and Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after receiving notification from the Borrower) notify each Lender of the proposed Incremental Facility and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Borrower and Administrative Agent. Each such Lender may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Incremental Facility by forwarding its commitment thereto to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notification from Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders). In consultation with the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall allocate the commitments to be made as part of the Incremental Facility to the Lenders from which it has received commitments; provided that, each participating Lender shall be entitled to at least its pro rata share of the proposed Incremental Facility. If Administrative Agent does not receive sufficient commitments from existing Lenders to effectuate the Incremental Facility within ten (10) Business Days after providing notice to the existing Lenders of the proposed Incremental Facility, it may allocate unsubscribed amounts to any other Person reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that is an Eligible Assignee from which it has received commitments (each Person acting as a Lender under an Incremental Facility is referred to herein as an “Incremental Lender” and collectively, as the “Incremental Lenders”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to participate in any Incremental Facility (each Lender’s decision to be made in its own discretion).

(e) Required Amendments; Documentation; Rights of Incremental Lenders.

(i) The Incremental Facilities shall be evidenced by an amendment or supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower (and consented to by all other Loan Parties), Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (such amendment or supplement, an Incremental Amendment) and such Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.8; provided, however, that no such Incremental Amendment shall effect any change that, pursuant to Section 13.8, requires the consent of all Lenders or the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby without the consent of each such Lender (it being agreed, however, that making a Loan under an Incremental Facility will not, of itself, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in Section 13.8 and that modifications to the definition of “Required Lenders” or other provisions relating to voting provisions to provide the Persons providing the applicable Incremental Term Loan with the benefit of such provisions will not, by themselves, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in Section 13.8). Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each such amendment.

(ii) Upon closing of a Term Loan under an Incremental Facility, the Incremental Lenders thereof shall be deemed to be Lenders and Term Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Term Loans shall for all purposes be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder.

(iii) Each Incremental Lender, in each case, shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents.

2.9 [Reserved].

2.10 Tax Treatment. The Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent each agree (a) that the Loans shall be treated as debt for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (b) that the Term Loan is not governed by the rules set out in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 and (c) to adhere to this Agreement for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and not to take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith. The inclusion of this Section 2.10 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to U.S. taxation.

2.11 Reduction of Committed Amount. Borrower shall have the right, upon notice by Borrower to the Administrative Agent, to permanently terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time and from time to time; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 above such amount, and (c) no reduction shall be made which would reduce the Revolving Committed Amount to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure. Any reduction in (or termination of) the Revolving Committed Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. The Revolving Committed Amount will automatically be reduced to zero on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(i) If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure (for any Revolving Lender or for all Revolving Lenders) exceeds the Revolving Credit Limit, Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans by the amount of the excess plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid.

(ii) No later than five (5) Business Days following the earlier of the date such amounts are received by, or for the account of, the Borrower (or the applicable Loan Party) on or after the date hereof and the end of any election periods set forth below, the following amounts shall be paid to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the form received with any necessary endorsement or assignment:

(A) [reserved];

(B) 100% of any cash Net Proceeds in excess of $2,000,000 individually or in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement in respect of any Casualty Event affecting Collateral (plus the Applicable Premium (if any)); provided that, if within 20 days after the date of such Casualty Event, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes to reinvest such Net Proceeds to replace the damaged assets in assets that are subject to a security interest in favor of Collateral Agent and that are useful in the business of the Loan Parties, then the Borrower shall be permitted to defer such prepayment for a period of up to 365 days after the date the applicable Loan Party receives such Net Proceeds; provided further that if such Net Proceeds are not reinvested within 365 days from the applicable Loan Party’s receipt of such Net Proceeds (or if so committed to be reinvested within such 365-day period, reinvested within 180 days after such 365-day period), then the applicable Loan Party shall be required to make any prepayments otherwise required by this Section 3.3(b)(ii)(B); provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Proceeds obtained by any Loan Party with respect to reimbursements due to loss of cash (whether as a result of theft, natural disaster or otherwise) shall not be subject to the mandatory prepayment provisions of this Section 3.3(b)(ii)(B);

(D) 100% of any cash Net Proceeds from the issuance of Debt issued by a Loan Party (excluding any other Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.1), plus the Applicable Premium (if any);

(E) 100% of the cash Net Proceeds from the Disposition of any assets pursuant to Section 9.4(b), Section 9.4(e) Section 9.4(g)(w), Section 9.4(o), Section 9.4(p), Section 9.4(q) or Section 9.4(r) individually or in the aggregate in excess of $2,000,000 in any fiscal year (plus the Applicable Premium (if any)); provided that, if within forty-five (45) days after the date of such Disposition, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes to reinvest such Net Proceeds in assets that are subject to a security interest in favor of Collateral Agent and that are useful in the business of the Loan Parties, then the Borrower shall be permitted to defer such prepayment for a period of up to 365 days after the date the applicable Loan Party receives such Net Proceeds; provided further that if such Net Proceeds are not reinvested within 365 days from the applicable Loan Party’s receipt of such Net Proceeds (or if so committed to be reinvested within such 365-day period, reinvested within 180 days after such 365-day period), then the applicable Loan Party shall be required to make any prepayments otherwise required by this Section 3.3(b)(ii)(E);

(F) Within five (5) Business Days after the date by which Borrower are required to deliver their Compliance Certificate and financial statements for the applicable fiscal year pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) and (d)), commencing with the fiscal year ending January 2, 2022, Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage multiplied by Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year then ended minus the sum of (1) voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans made during such period (other than voluntary prepayments applied to prepay future amortization payments that would be due pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) in the fiscal year of such prepayment), and (2) any voluntary prepayments of the Reovlving Facility solely to the extent such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Reovlving Commitments, in each case for the preceding clauses (1) and (2) solely to the extent such prepayments or repurchases are financed with Internally Generated Cash.

Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a payment notification not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to each mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such notice.

(i) All prepayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be applied for payments under the Revolving Credit Facility, to the Revolving Principal Amount with no corresponding reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount. All prepayments of Term Loans under Section 3.3(a) shall be applied to each outstanding tranche of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (if any) on a pro rata basis (unless such Lenders under any such Incremental Term Loans have elected a lesser prepayment) and shall be applied to reduce future scheduled amortization payments of the respective Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (if any) being prepaid as directed by the Borrower and in the absence of such direction, to the Term Loans in the direct order of maturity.

(ii) All prepayments under Section 3.3(b) shall be applied to each outstanding tranche of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (if any) on a pro rata basis (unless such Lenders under any such Incremental Term Loans have elected a lesser prepayment) and shall be applied to reduce future scheduled amortization payments of the respective Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (if any) being prepaid as directed by the Borrower and in the absence of such direction, to the Term Loans in the direct order of maturity.

(iii) Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be applied and allocated to the Lenders based on each Lender’s respective Commitment Percentages under the applicable Facility.

(d) Option to Decline. Any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii) (other than Section 3.3(b)(ii)(D)) may be declined in whole or in part by any Lender without prejudice to such Lender’s rights hereunder to accept or decline any future payments in respect of any mandatory prepayments, by providing written notice to Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day (or such other date acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior to the date of such prepayment. If a Lender chooses not to accept payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment in whole or in part the other Lenders that accept such mandatory prepayment shall have the option to share such proceeds on a pro rata basis by providing written notice to Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) (and if declined by all Lenders such declined proceeds shall be retained by the Loan Parties) on or before the date otherwise due hereunder; provided that, to the extent such mandatory prepayment is declined by all Lenders, such prepayment may be retained by the Borrower.

(e) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 3.3 for application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Applicable Premium. Upon the occurrence of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Applicable Premium. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Sections 3.3(a) and (b), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Premium, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Applicable Premium payable in accordance with this Section 3.3(f) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Applicable Premium Trigger Event, and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium, if any, shall also be payable 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. THE BORROWERS AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly agree that (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Applicable 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 Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium, (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 3.3(f), (E) their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (F) the Applicable Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such Applicable Premium Trigger Event.

3.4 Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a) Calculation of Interest. All computations of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Prime Rate, for the actual number of days elapsed in a 365 or 366-day year). Interest shall accrue from and including the first date of Borrowing (or from the date of any Continuation or Conversion thereof) to but excluding the last day occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

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

3.5 General Payment Terms.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (i) all payments by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the date specified herein, (ii) Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its applicable Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office, and (iii) all payments received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. New York City time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(b) Payment Dates. If any payment or prepayment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Advances by the Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Dollars and in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to such Borrowing. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under this Agreement

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 3.5(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required under this Agreement shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

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

(g) Notes. To the extent requested by any Lender, the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Loan shall be evidenced by notes executed by the Borrower, payable to such requesting Lender (or its registered assigns) in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment.

(h) Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.5(c) or 3.6, then Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

3.6 Pro Rata Treatment and Sharing of Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loan, each payment of interest, each payment of fees (other than administrative fees and other fees paid to any Agent for its own account), and each Conversion or Continuation and each reduction in the Revolving Commitment Amount, shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share; provided that, if any Lender shall have failed to pay or fund its Commitment Percentage of any Loan, then any amount to which such Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall instead be payable to Administrative Agent until the share of such Loan by such Lender has been funded unless such Lender’s obligations are the subject of a good faith dispute.

(b) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, in the event any principal, interest, fee or other amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Administrative Agent, (i) such principal, interest, fee or other amount that had been satisfied by such payment shall be revived, reinstated and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred and (ii) such Lender shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate if repaid within two (2) Business Days after such request and thereafter the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

(c) Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means,

(i) in excess of its Commitment Percentage or Pro Rata Share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations (without recourse, representation or warranty) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages or Pro Rata Shares; or

(ii) such payment shall be rescinded or must otherwise be returned, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise returned.

The Borrower agrees that (A) any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation and (B) the Obligations that have been satisfied by a payment that has been rescinded or otherwise returned shall be revived, reinstated and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any Lender or Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to any other Lender or Administrative Agent an amount payable by such Lender or Administrative Agent to such other Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.6 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.6 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

3.7 Right of Setoff. If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period, each 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 or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to 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 and their respective Affiliates under this Section 3.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and 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.

3.8 Fees.

(a) Fees to the Lenders. On the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders the fees as agreed to between Borrower and the Lenders in the Fee Letter.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Unused Fee-Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Revolving Lender based on its Revolving Committed Amount, a per annum fee equal to 0.50% for each day during the period of determination multiplied by the amount by which the then Revolving Committed Amount for all Revolving Lenders on such day exceeds the Revolving Principal Amount outstanding on such day. This fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (as well as on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced) for the quarter period (or portion thereof) then ending, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(d) Fees to the Agents. On the Closing Date, Borrower agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s own account, and the Collateral Agent, for the Collateral Agent’s own account, the fees as agreed to between Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders in the Fee Letter.

(e) Fees Generally. The fees provided for in this Section 3.8 shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Article IV

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.1 Taxes.

(a) Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.7 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes 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 Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 4.1.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.1 such Loan Party shall deliver to 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 Agent.

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

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

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender 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 Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Tax Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Tax Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Tax 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 Lender 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 C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-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 the Borrower 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Tax Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Tax Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.1(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Status of Administrative Agent. On or before the Closing Date and at other times reasonably requested by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 establishing an exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Administrative Agent (or, upon assignment or replacement, any assignee or successor) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out- of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.2 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If, after the Closing Date, 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 (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, Converting to, Continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender other Recipient under this Agreement (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or 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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting out the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 4.2(a) or (b) above, and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.2 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such 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 two hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.3 Illegality. If a Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower, any obligation of such Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender, prepay or, if applicable, Convert all applicable LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.4 Inability to Determine LIBOR. Subject to Section 13.21, if Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or that LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower at the written direction of the Required Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent revokes such notice at the written direction of the Required Lenders. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

4.5 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to borrow, Continue, Convert or prepay any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower, including any loss, cost or expense (other than loss of the Applicable Margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 4.5, such Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded the relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity and repricing characteristics comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that such Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 4.5.

4.6 Requests for Compensation. A certificate of a Lender claiming compensation under this Article IV and setting out the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it under this Agreement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, a Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

4.7 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.2, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans under this Agreement or to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement 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 4.1 or Section 4.2, as the case may be, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. (1) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.2, or if Borrower are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.7(a), or (2) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.7;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, solely with respect to Section 4.7(b)(2), the Applicable Premium, and all other amounts payable to it under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of the Applicable Premium and all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

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

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

4.8 Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article IV shall survive for a period of one (1) year after termination of the Commitments and repayment of all Obligations.

Article V

The Borrower and each other Loan Party is responsible for filing, and agrees to execute, if requested, financing statements, continuation statements, or termination statements (each in Proper Form), or take other action reasonably requested by Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral, including any Lien search reasonably required by Collateral Agent.

5.3 Guarantees; Additional Loan Parties. Each Loan Party (other than Borrower) shall guarantee the complete payment and performance of the Secured Obligations by executing and delivering a Guaranty to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date (for each Loan Party in existence on the Closing Date). For each Domestic Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Closing Date (but excluding any Excluded Subsidiary), within thirty (30) days after formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably agree to), shall guarantee the complete payment and performance of the Obligations by executing and delivering a Guaranty to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Excluded Subsidiary will be required to become a Guarantor. In connection with the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, with respect to each Domestic Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Closing Date, the Loan Documents (including but not limited to, a Guaranty and the Security Documents) and substantially the same documentation required pursuant to this Article V, and in each case together with all such other documents or agreements as the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably request. No Loan Party shall form or acquire a Foreign Subsidiary after the Closing Date.

5.4 Further Assurances; Collateral. Each Loan Party (solely at its expense) shall obtain, or cooperate with Collateral Agent to obtain, agreements, documents, and instruments (all in Proper Form) as Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents to attach or preserve the attachment, and to perfect or preserve the perfection and priority, of Collateral Agent’s security interests granted under the Loan Documents (including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Collateral Access Agreements, creditor and mortgagee subordination agreements, and Lien release documents). Each Loan Party hereby appoints and empowers Collateral Agent or its representatives, as its attorney-in-fact, to execute and/or endorse (and file, as appropriate) on its behalf any documents, agreements, papers, checks, financing statements and other documents which, in Collateral Agent’s sole judgment, are necessary to be executed, endorsed and/or filed in order to (a) perfect or preserve the perfection and priority of Collateral Agent’s security interests granted under the Loan Documents and (b) collect or realize upon the Collateral or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or applicable Law (provided that Collateral Agent shall not exercise its rights under this clause (b) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing).

Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation, filing, or recording of any instrument, document, or financing statement or for the perfection or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

5.5 Liens Granted to Collateral Agent. Liens granted to Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents are granted to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

Article XII

THE AGENTS

12.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Fortress Credit Corp. to act on behalf of the Lenders as Administrative Agent and Fortress Credit Corp. to act on behalf of the Lenders as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to take such actions on behalf of the Lenders under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 13.8 and to the terms of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Security Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Secured Party 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 and to act as senior representative under any applicable intercreditor agreement, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub- agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XII for purposes of holding, perfecting 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 Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles XII and XIII (including Section 13.3, 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. Should any Lender (other than Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Collateral Agent in writing thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Collateral Agent in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Collateral Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. In addition to the foregoing, each Lender, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, at the Required Lenders’ option and discretion, to enter into any Other Intercreditor Agreement (or similar agreements with the same or similar purpose and each of which are satisfactory to the Required Lenders) and any other subordination or intercreditor agreement (each of which are satisfactory to the Required Lenders) to effect the subordination of Subordinated Debt, as applicable, and as Administrative Agent for and on its behalf in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof) and each other Secured Party (by receiving the benefits under an Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination and intercreditor agreement and of the Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Documents) agrees that the terms of the Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination and intercreditor agreement shall be binding on such Lender and its successors and assigns, as if it were a party thereto. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof) and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination and intercreditor agreement on behalf of such Secured Party and agrees that Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may take such actions on its behalf as are contemplated by the terms of the Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement. Administrative Agent shall notify the Secured Parties of the effectiveness of the Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement promptly after such execution and shall provide a copy of the executed Other Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement to the Secured Parties promptly after its effectiveness.

12.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent under this Agreement 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 Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent under this Agreement in its individual capacity.

12.3 Indemnification. THE LENDERS JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY BORROWERS), RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE OUTSTANDING TERM LOANS THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM (OR, IF NO SUCH TERM LOANS ARE AT THE TIME OUTSTANDING, RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE AMOUNTS OF THE COMMITMENTS THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM, OR, IF NO SUCH TERM LOANS ARE AT THE TIME OUTSTANDING AND NO COMMITMENTS ARE THEN EXISTING, RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE COMMITMENTS HELD BY EACH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION THEREOF), FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT- RELATED PERSON IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON), AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE (DETERMINED AS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH) OF ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING AGENT AND COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH BY BORROWERS.

12.4 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set out in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and their duties under this Agreement shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent:

(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall 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 such 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); provided that, such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such 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 affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall (x), except as expressly set out in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and (y) be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) No Agent-Related Person shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them (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 such Person shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 13.8 and 11.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non- appealable judgment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time request written instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions satisfactory to it from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. In the absence of written instructions, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may act (or refrain from acting) as it reasonably considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as a result of it or them acting (or refraining from acting) as it or they consider to be in the best interest of the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise acting (or refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), no Agent shall have any obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes such Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification and/or security in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3. Neither the Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent is obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for (which includes prefunding), such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into or verify (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 under this Agreement 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 out in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency, genuineness or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, (v) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Potential Default, (vi) the financial condition of any Loan Party or any other Person, or (vii) the satisfaction of any condition set out in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(d) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

12.5 Reliance by Agent; Notice of Default.

(a) Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral 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. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral 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 under this Agreement to the making of a Credit Extension that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

12.6 Delegation of Duties. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub- agents appointed by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Each of Administrative Agent, Collateral 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 and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any Agent and any such sub- agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

12.7 Liability of Agent-Related Persons.

(a) No Agent-Related Person shall:

(i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein);

(ii) 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 the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; or

12.8 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower to the extent no Default shall then exist and be continuing (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor administrative agent or collateral agent, as applicable. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set out above, subject to the approval of the Borrower to the extent no Default shall then exist and be continuing (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed). 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 Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and, subject to the approval of the Borrower to the extent no Default shall then exist and be continuing (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (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.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral security held by Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XII and Section 13.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, was acting in such capacity.

12.9 Non-Reliance on and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any Agent-Related Person or any 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any Agent- Related Person or any 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 under this Agreement or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

12.10 No Other Duties, etc. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and in the Commitments held by it, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.

12.11 File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) 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 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, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent under Sections 3.8 and 13.3) 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 to make such payments to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under Sections 3.8 and 13.3.

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

12.12 Credit Bidding.

(a) Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders and at the written direction of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to credit bid and purchase for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Lenders all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Collateral Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable Laws to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien permitted pursuant to Section 9.2(c); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.13.

(b) COLLATERAL 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 COLLATERAL AGENT’S LIEN THEREON, OR ANY CERTIFICATE PREPARED BY ANY LOAN PARTY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, NOR SHALL COLLATERAL AGENT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO THE LENDERS FOR ANY FAILURE TO MONITOR OR MAINTAIN ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL.

No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5 or 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 capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON, EACH LENDER AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY OUTSIDE COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE), INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING BORROWERS OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY) OTHER THAN SUCH INDEMNITEE AND ITS RELATED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, (II) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES IN VIOLATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE APPLICABLE INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES (A) ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE, (B) RESULT FROM A CLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE FOR BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF SUCH INDEMNITEE’S FUNDING OR OTHER MATERIAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IF ANY BORROWER OR SUCH LOAN PARTY HAS OBTAINED A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ITS FAVOR ON SUCH CLAIM AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OR (C) RESULT FROM ANY DISPUTE SOLELY AMONG INDEMNITEES (OTHER THAN ANY CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE IN ITS CAPACITY OR IN FULFILLING ITS ROLE AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SIMILAR ROLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND OTHER THAN ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES). THIS SECTION 13.3(b) SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY NON-TAX CLAIM.

(c) Reimbursement Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 13.3 to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub- agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Commitment Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(e).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof provided that, the forgoing waiver and agreement shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to the extent set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder or thereunder. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and not later than five (5) Business Days after demand therefor.

13.4 Survival. Each party’s obligations under Section 13.3 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment or full satisfaction of the Obligations under this Agreement.

13.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.

13.7 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.7(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.7(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to such assigning Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 13.7(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 13.7(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of each such Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this paragraph (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities (in the event that the Revolving Credit Facility is not the sole credit facility under this Agreement) on a non-pro rata basis.

100

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.7(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Default, has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that, Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

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

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or (C) so long as no Default pursuant to Sections 11.1(a), 11.1(d), 11.1(e) or 11.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, any Disqualified Lender.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set out herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable Commitment Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, each other Lender under this Agreement (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

101

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.7(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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.2 and 13.3 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 under this Agreement arising from that Lender’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 13.7(d).

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 13.7(c) and Sections 13.27(d) and 4.7 shall be construed so that the Loans 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.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion 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) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 4.1(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

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 that affects such Participant and required the unanimous consent of the Lenders. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.7(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.7 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.7(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 or 4.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.7 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-l(c), proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5 or any applicable temporary, final or other successor regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

13.8 Amendments, Consents and Waivers.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (with an executed copy provided to Administrative Agent) or, in the case of any other Loan Documents, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable under this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the waiver of the application of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.1(b)), (iii) reduce any fees payable under this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (iv) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable under this Agreement, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) alter the pro rata sharing of payments required under this Agreement or the application of payments set forth in Section 3.3(c), Section 3.6 or Section 11.4, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 13.8 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights under this Agreement or make any determination or grant any consent under this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Guarantors from their Guarantees under their Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Guaranty, or limit the liability of the Guarantors in respect of their Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender, provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit Collateral Agent from releasing any Collateral, or require the consent of the other Lenders for such release, if such release is expressly permitted under this Agreement, (ix) approve any amendment or waiver that would result in the Lenders under one class or tranche of Loans receiving a lesser prepayment or repayment relative to any other class or tranche of the Loans without the written consent of Lenders holding Loans representing more than 50% of the aggregate Loans under such negatively affected class or tranche (x) (x)subordinate the Liens securing the Obligations except as permitted by Section 12.13(a)(ii), or (y) subordinate the rights to receive payments under, the Loans to any other Debt not permitted under this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (xi) modify the provisions of Section 6.2 without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (in addition to the Required Lenders); provided that, (i) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable and (ii) amendments that affect only the Revolving Credit Facility (and no other Facility) shall require the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (and not the Required Lenders).

103

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Term Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent under this Agreement, except that (i) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended and (ii) the principal amount of any Loan held by such Defaulting Lender, the rate of interest thereon and any fees payable to the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (if any) may not be reduced with respect to such Defaulting Lender, in each case, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(d) No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to no Default having occurred and be continuing, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Term Loans with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such respective Term Loans) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in any such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans, and, subject to the terms hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate and/or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”; and each group of Term Loans so extended, as well as the original Term Loans (to the extent not so extended), being a separate “tranche”), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) except as to interest rates (which shall be subject to the MFN Provisions), fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to the final parenthetical in this clause (i) and subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by the Extending Lenders), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans owed to it (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date);

104

(ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans extended thereby and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) for periods prior to the original maturity date of the Term Loans shall not be increased;

(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) with non-extended tranches of Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer; and

(v) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the outstanding principal amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.8(e), (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 3.3(a) or 3.3(b) and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 13.8(e) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

No consent of any Lender or Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower (on behalf of all Loan Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.8(e). Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of each such amendment.

105

In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or reasonably acceptable to, Administrative Agent, in each case acting to accomplish the purposes of this Section 13.8(e). In addition, the effectiveness of any Extension shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 6.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent).

This Section 13.8(e) shall supersede any provisions of this Section 13.8 to the contrary.

13.9 [Reserved].

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

(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 13.18, the following terms have the following meanings: BHC Act Affiliate of a party shall mean an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

Covered Entity shall mean 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);

iii. a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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

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

109

13.19 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) 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 (3) 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.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement 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 Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion 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 13.19 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 13.19.

(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 or USD LIBOR) 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 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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” 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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

110

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

(f) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 13.19:

Available Tenor means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 13.19.

Benchmark means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 13.19.

Benchmark Replacement means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of : (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is 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. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

111

Benchmark Replacement Adjustment means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or

negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

Benchmark Replacement Date means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

112

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(3) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
