(a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement that requires that any representations and warranties are true and correct or no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as such representations and warranties are true and correct (to the extent required by such provisions) as of, or no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the LCT Test Date (as defined below) for such Limited Condition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any representation and warranty shall fail to be true and correct following the LCT Test Date for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction or any Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default occurs following the LCT Test Date for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such failure, Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

(b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or any other ratio test; or

(ii) testing baskets or any other calculations set forth in this Agreement (including baskets or any other calculations measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, a Parent Company, or any successor entity of any of the foregoing (including a third party) (the “Testing Party”) (such election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive documentation, submission of notice or the making of definitive declaration, as applicable, with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (x) the date on which the definitive acquisition agreements (or, if applicable, a binding offer, or launch of a “certain funds” tender offer), notice (which may be conditional) or declaration with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into, provided or made, as applicable, or the date that a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower is given with respect to the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into, (y) the date of any prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or other payment or (z) in respect of sales in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies (or similar law or practice in other jurisdictions), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intends to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to laws similar to the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the applicable LCT Test Date, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, calculation or basket, such ratio, calculation or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Testing Party has made an LCT Election and (A) any Default or Event of Default occurs following the LCT Test Date (including any new LCT Test Date) for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Agreement and (B) any of the ratios, calculations or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, calculation or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower, the target company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, on or prior to the date of consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, calculations or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations and such baskets, ratios or financial metrics shall not be tested at the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction except as contemplated in clause (a) of the immediately succeeding proviso; provided, however, (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent Test Periods shall have become available, the Testing Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such baskets, ratios and financial

metrics on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date, and (b) if any ratios or financial metrics improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, financial metrics or baskets may be utilized. If the Testing Party has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of the ratios, baskets or financial metrics on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement, notice or declaration for such Limited Condition Transaction is abandoned, terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or financial metric shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

SECTION 1.11. Pro Forma and Other Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.10, financial ratios and tests (including measurements of Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA), including the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.11. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis or requires pro forma compliance, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which Internal Financial Statements are available.

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (including Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA), Specified Events (with any Incurrence or Refinancing of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.11) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Events (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Event) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets or “unrestricted” cash and Cash Equivalents, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Event that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.11, then such financial ratio or test (including Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.11.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect or a determination of pro forma compliance (or words to similar effect) is to be given to a Specified Event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, the amount of “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and cost synergies and other synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from any Specified Event, in each case, as calculated in accordance with and permitted by, clause (2) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary Incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or Refinances (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than normal fluctuations in revolving Indebtedness Incurred for working capital purposes), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test that is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or Refinancing of Indebtedness (including pro forma effect to the application of the net proceeds therefrom), in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

(e) Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary may designate.

(f) Any such pro forma calculation may include, without duplication, (1) all adjustments of the type described in clause (a)(viii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to the extent such adjustments continue to be applicable to such Test Period, and (2) adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

(g) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or, except as described in Section 1.11(a), any other financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement (including any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test, unrestricted cash and the amount of Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or other financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.10), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or other financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts Incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including any covenant or the definition of Incremental Base Amount) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently, simultaneously or contemporaneously with any amounts Incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test any Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (including amounts Incurred under the Incremental Base Amount) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent expressly required to be calculated otherwise in Section 2.20 for any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is Incurred, any Lien is Incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on an Incurrence-Based Amount, such Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated without regard to the Incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility or letter of credit facility immediately prior to, simultaneously or contemporaneously with, or in connection therewith.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as an action was taken (or not taken) in reliance upon a basket, ratio or test under this Agreement that was calculated or determined in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower based upon financial information available to such officer at such time and such action (or inaction) was permitted under this Agreement at the time of such calculation or determination, any subsequent restatement, modification or adjustments made to such financial information (including any restatement, modification or adjustment that would have caused such basket, ratio or test to be exceeded as a result of such action or inaction) shall not result in any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.

(k) For purposes of the calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio in connection with the Incurrence of any Indebtedness under a revolving credit or other similar facility in connection with entering into a commitment letter or similar agreement with respect to the Incurrence of any Indebtedness that would not be prohibited under Section 6.01 (and, in each case, any Lien securing such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.02), such Person may elect, pursuant to a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent, to treat all or any portion of the commitment (such amount elected until revoked as described below, the “Elected Amount”) under any such Indebtedness which is to be Incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such Lien (whether by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any third party), as the case may be, as being Incurred or secured, as the case may be, as of the date such certificate is delivered and (i) any subsequent Incurrence of such Indebtedness or such Lien under such commitment that was so treated (so long as the total amount under such Indebtedness does not exceed the Elected Amount) shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence of additional Indebtedness or an additional Lien at such subsequent time, (ii) such Person may revoke an election of an Elected Amount pursuant to a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent and (iii) at all times thereafter, for subsequent calculations of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Elected Amount (if any) shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding.

SECTION 1.12. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division of or with respect to any Person under Delaware law (or any comparable event under the applicable law of any other jurisdiction), if, pursuant thereto, (a) any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been Disposed by the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.13. Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Term SOFR” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Successor Rate Conforming Changes.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the Borrower’s own account (or for the account of any other Subsidiary of the Borrower so long as the Borrower and such other Subsidiary are co-applicants in respect of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period and prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date of the applicable Revolving Facility. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and no Issuing Bank shall issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) for the purpose of funding any activity or business of or with any Embargoed Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions, except, in each instance, to the extent permitted for a person required to comply with Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

(b) Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver in writing by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire

If reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (iii) unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, the portion of the aggregate LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its LC Commitment and (iv) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or (ii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv), any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure.

(c) Notice. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under paragraph (m) of this Section.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided that if such expiry date is not a Business Day, such Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date of the applicable Revolving Facility except to the extent Cash Collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof within the time period specified in such Letter of Credit or, if no such time period is specified, at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, in the event that any LC Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section in Dollars, or of any reimbursement

payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of such LC Disbursement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(h) and the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying, whether with its own funds, with the proceeds of Revolving Loans or any other source, to the Administrative Agent the amount of such LC Disbursement (in Dollars) (i) within one Business Day of the date that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if the Issuing Bank provides such notice to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the second Business Day following the date of receipt of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Required Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount of such LC Disbursement payable from and including the date of such LC Disbursement to but excluding the Required Reimbursement Date at a rate per annum described in Section 2.05(i). If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in Dollars, and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any

error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, e-mail of a “pdf” or facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(i) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement by the Required Reimbursement Date, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (ii) as of the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date of the applicable Revolving Facility, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Required Revolving Lenders) demanding Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize an amount equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Each such deposit of Cash Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or

the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within one Business Day after all Events of Default are no longer continuing or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as applicable.

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. The Borrower shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of the designation of any additional Issuing Bank.

(l) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized in full. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of the termination of the appointment of any Issuing Bank.

(m) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent) shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within five Business Days following the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the

amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) within three Business Days prior to the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time and the amount outstanding, (iv) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (v) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (vi) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

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

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of Same Day Funds by 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of an ABR Loan to be funded on a same-day basis, the later of (i) 1:00 p.m. and (ii) two hours following delivery by the Borrower of the applicable Notice of Borrowing), New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and/or such other account otherwise designated by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, except with respect to Section 2.22, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or an Interest Election Request by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic notice and Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

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

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

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

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of the same duration as that of the previous Term SOFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments, if any, shall terminate on the applicable Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided further, that (1) the Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Commitments among Classes of Commitments at its direction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the Commitments with respect to any Class of Extended Revolving Commitments without any termination or reduction of the Commitments with respect to any existing Revolving Commitments of the same specified original Revolving Commitment Class) and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.21, the original Revolving Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of specified original Revolving Commitments so extended on such date (or, if agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments, by any greater amount so long as (a) a proportionate reduction of the existing Revolving Commitments of the same specified original Revolving Commitment Class has been offered to each Lender to whom the applicable Revolving Extension Request has been made (which may be conditioned upon such Lender becoming an Extending Lender), and (b) the Borrower prepays the original Revolving Loans of such Class owed to such Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving pro forma effect to such repayment or reduction, the original Revolving Loans of such Class are held by the Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with their original Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving pro forma effect to such reduction) (provided that (x) after giving pro forma effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the aggregate amount of the revolving credit exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Commitment thereof (such revolving credit exposure and Revolving Commitment being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Extended Revolving Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.18) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving pro forma effect to any conversion or exchange pursuant to Section 2.21 of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans into Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans respectively, and prior to any reduction being made to the Commitment of any other Lender.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time, at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders within such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the applicable Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Initial Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or E, as applicable.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Initial Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Initial Term Maturity Date and (ii) all other Term Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) (i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing at par, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section; provided that prepayments of Initial Term Loans shall, if applicable, be subject to payment of the Applicable Premium as set forth in Section 2.12(f). Each prepayment in respect of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be applied to reduce the installments of principal in such order as the Borrower may determine and may be applied to any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Term Loans of an original Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i) without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such original Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i) without any requirement to prepay Term Loans of an original Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the installments of principal in direct order of maturity and/or a pro-rata basis among Term Loan Classes. All prepayments under this Section 2.11(a)(i) shall also be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11(f) and 2.11(g). At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i), such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently cancelled and the Register updated to reflect such cancellation (calculated on the par amount thereof) immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower) on the following basis:

(A) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, solely for cash consideration, at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least five (5) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of a Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(B) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, solely for cash consideration, by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis (but, for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata to all Lenders within such Class and on the same terms), (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal

amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be

Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers, solely for cash consideration, by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual Class basis (but, for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata to all Lenders within such Class and on the same terms), (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be submitted with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) (it being understood that different Submitted Discounts may be specified in respect of different portions of the Submitted Amount) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term

Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers, solely for cash consideration, by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis (but, for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata to all Lenders within such Class and on the same terms), (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this subsection (D). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of such fees and expenses from the Borrower as may be separately agreed between the Borrower and the Auction Agent in connection therewith.

(F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s office in Same Day Funds not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments (including the installment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date of such Class). The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor

at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01 or otherwise).

(b) On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds therefrom, offer to prepay (or, in the case of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, prepay), in accordance with Section 2.11(d), Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, in the case of Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or a Casualty Prepayment Event, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay, redeem, defease or repurchase any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on Collateral ranking equal in priority to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (but without regard to the control of remedies), to the extent that the applicable documentation with respect to such Indebtedness requires the issuer or borrower under such Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, acquire or make similar payment or defease such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, acquire or make similar payment or defease exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(c) Commencing with the first anniversary of the Effective Date and annually each year thereafter (each such date, a “Cash Sweep Payment Date”), the Borrower shall prepay Term Loans at par in accordance with Section 2.11(d) in an aggregate amount (the “Cash Sweep Amount”) equal to (x) the amount of Unrestricted Cash of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (calculated based on a 10-day average for the last 10 calendar days of the first quarter of such Fiscal Year (the “Cash Sweep Averaging Period”)) in excess of the Cash Sweep Threshold, minus (y) in each case at the Borrower’s option, (i) cash amounts to be paid within the next twelve months in connection with any acquisitions or third-party Investments pursuant to a signed agreement or letter of intent that have not closed as of the applicable Cash Sweep Payment Date, (ii) without duplication of the foregoing clause (i), the amount of principal payments required to be made on the Initial Term Loans within the next twelve months following the applicable Cash Sweep Payment Date, and (iii) cash amounts paid in respect of acquisitions or other investments (excluding capital expenditures) or any prepayment or redemption of Indebtedness, in each case, made on or after the last day of the applicable Cash Sweep Averaging Period and prior to the applicable Cash Sweep Payment Date; provided, further, that, in the case that any Cash Sweep Amount is required to be offered to prepay any Term Loans, the Borrower may use cash in an amount not to exceed the Cash Sweep Amount required to be offered to prepay the Term Loans to prepay, redeem, defease, acquire, repurchase or make a similar payment to any Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (but without regard to the control of remedies), in each case the documentation with respect to which requires the issuer or borrower under such Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, defease, acquire or satisfy and discharge such Indebtedness with a percentage of Cash Sweep Amount, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (1) the Cash Sweep Amount required to be offered to prepay the Term Loans multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (but without regard to the control of remedies) and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, defease, acquire or satisfy and discharge exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(d) (i) Subject to clause (ii) of this Section 2.11(d) and the provisos to each of Section 2.11(b) and (c), (A) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Sections 2.11(b) and (c) (other than in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event referred to in the parenthetical in the definition of such term) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining installments of principal due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans, shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such scheduled installments of principal within each such Class in accordance with Section 2.11(f) and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.11(b) in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event referred to in the parenthetical in the definition of such term shall be allocated to any Class of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower, shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such scheduled installments of principal within each such Class in accordance with Section 2.11(f); provided that, with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under clause (A) above only between an original Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same original Class, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any such Class any such mandatory prepayment under such clause (A) unless such prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the original existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the original existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full).

(ii) With respect to each such prepayment required by Section 2.11(b) and (c) (other than any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event), (A) the Borrower will, not later than the date specified in such Sections for offering to make such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Prepayment signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Lender of Term Loans and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide such notice to each Lender of Term Loans, (B) other than if such prepayment arises due to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event or Section 2.11(c), each Lender of Term Loans will have the right to refuse any such prepayment by giving written notice of such refusal to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within five Business Days after such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such prepayment (and the Borrower shall not prepay any Term Loans until the date that is specified in clause (C) below) (such amounts, the “Declined Amounts”), (C) the Borrower will make all such prepayments not so refused upon the tenth Business Day after the Lender received first notice of prepayment from the Administrative Agent and (D) thereafter, Declined Amounts shall be retained by the Borrower.

Each such telephonic notice and Notice of Prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such Notice of Prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial

prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

In connection with any such termination or reduction, to the extent necessary, the participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit may be required to be reallocated and related loans outstanding prepaid and then reborrowed, in each case in the manner contemplated by the last three sentences of Section 2.20(c) (as modified to account for a termination or reduction, as opposed to an increase, of such Commitment).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions in Sections 2.11(b) (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a “Foreign Subsidiary Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Prepayment Event from a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a “Foreign Subsidiary Casualty Prepayment Event”), are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or from being distributed to

a U.S. Loan Party, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States or distribution to a U.S. Loan Party (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation or distribution), and once such repatriation or distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation or distribution will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation or distribution) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 to the extent provided herein; and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation or distribution of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Subsidiary Disposition or any Foreign Subsidiary Casualty Prepayment Event would have material adverse tax consequences (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary unless and until such material adverse tax consequences would no longer result from such repatriation or distribution.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions in Sections 2.11(c), to the extent that any or all of the Unrestricted Cash held by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (any such amounts, “Affected Amounts”) (A) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or from being distributed to a U.S. Loan Party, the Affected Amounts will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States or distribution to a U.S. Loan Party (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation or distribution) and once such repatriation or distribution of any of such Affected Amounts is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation or distribution will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation or distribution) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 to the extent provided herein; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, that (x) in the event the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary holds an amount of Unrestricted Cash on the date of such payment equal to such Affected Amounts described in this clause (A), the Borrower or such Domestic Subsidiary will be required to utilize those amounts to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not require the Foreign Subsidiary to repatriate to the United States or distribute to a U.S. Loan Party an amount of cash equal to the amount that was utilized to prepay Term Loans in accordance with this proviso) and (y) any such payment by the Borrower or such Domestic Subsidiary pursuant to the foregoing clause (x) shall only be required in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Affected Amounts described in clause (A) and (ii) the amount Unrestricted Cash held by the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries, collectively, in excess of $30,000,000, and (B) would have material adverse tax consequences (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) as a result of the repatriation or distribution of any of or all the Affected Amounts as determined by the Borrower in good faith, the Affected Amounts will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary unless and until such material adverse tax consequences would no longer result from such repatriation or distribution.

SECTION 2.12. Fees.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) [Reserved].

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.22, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12, nor shall any such amounts accrue.

(f) In the event that any Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs with respect to any of the Initial Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay a premium to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders, in an amount equal to (i) if such Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs from the Effective Date to and including the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date (the “Par Call Date”), a fee on the principal amount of Initial Term Loans that are the subject of the Applicable Premium Triggering Event equal to (x) with respect to up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans that are subject to the Applicable Premium Triggering Event during such 18-month period, 0% and (y) for any aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans in excess of $200,000,000 that are subject to the Applicable Premium Triggering Event (but only with respect to such excess), 2.00% of such aggregate principal amount, (ii) from the Par Call Date to and including the second anniversary of the Effective Date, a 2.00% fee on the principal amount of Initial Term Loans that are the subject of the Applicable Premium Triggering Event, (iii) from the second anniversary of the Effective Date to and including the third anniversary of the Effective Date, a 1.00% fee on the principal amount of Initial Term Loans that are the subject of the Applicable Premium Triggering Event and (iv) thereafter, 0% (such amounts referred to in this paragraph, the “Applicable Premium”). Any Applicable Premium payable in accordance with this Section 2.12(f) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders holding Initial Term Loans as the result of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such payment, and the Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE 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 EVENT. The Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders holding Initial Term Loans and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.12(f), (v) their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Initial Term Loans, and (vi) the Applicable Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders holding Initial Term Loans and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to such Lenders or profits lost by such Lenders as a result of the event giving rise to the Applicable Premium. Any payment of Applicable Premium under this clause (f) shall be due and payable on the date of each such Applicable Premium Triggering Event.

(g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided further that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

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

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

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing:

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

100

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

the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees to do promptly thereafter, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Term SOFR Borrowing in Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing that is pending when such notice is received.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Borrower and Administrative Agent determine in good faith, or the Borrower and Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower and Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for any Interest Period hereunder or any other tenors of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator ceased permanently or indefinitely to use Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate for similarly situated borrowers under Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities as the Facilities; provided that, at such time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide Term SOFR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such administrator has ceased to provide Term SOFR or has made a public statement announcing that all Interest Periods and other tenors of Term SOFR are no longer representative; or

(iv) at least five (5) currently outstanding syndicated loans for similarly situated borrowers under syndicated credit facilitates in the same currencies as the Facilities are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace Term SOFR, each available for review (including by way of availability through posting on DebtDomain, Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means) and identified by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR in accordance with this Section 2.14(b) with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate established by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similarly situated borrowers under Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities as the Facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving

101

due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similarly situated borrowers under Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities as the Facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated with the consent of the Borrower (the “Adjustment”; and any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace Term SOFR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace Term SOFR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; provided that, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Term SOFR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Alternate Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of a Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than (x) in the case of Initial Term Loans, 0.50% per annum for purposes of this Agreement and (y) otherwise, zero for purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower will have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders (with a copy to the Borrower) reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

102

(ii) subject any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Tax (other than any Indemnified Taxes and any Excluded 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 any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan or ABR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in reasonable detail as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 2.15 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III or, in each case, any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. leveraged loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.15.

103

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost and expense that such Lender actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain Term SOFR Loans. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt of such demand.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Unless required by applicable Requirements of Law, 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, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(c)

(i) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable

104

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 setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of (A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders).

(e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents (including, in the case of a Lender seeking exemption from the withholding imposed under FATCA, any documentation necessary to prevent such withholding). In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any documentation specifically referenced below in this Section 2.17(e)) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(i), 2.17(e)(ii)(A) through (D) and 2.17(e)(iii)) 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.

105

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Requirements of Law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is a United States person exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Requirements of Law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) 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,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit O-1, O-2, O-3 or O-4, as applicable (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the effect that such Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner of the applicable Loan (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, each accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or

106

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Loan Parties under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this clause (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential).

(g) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and the term “Requirements of Law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in Same Day Funds, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, recoupment or setoff. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be made as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Term SOFR Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan, all reimbursements of any LC Disbursements, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan or LC Disbursement and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(b) After the exercise of remedies provided for herein (or all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder), except as otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to any Customary Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations (including all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default is continuing) will be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(i) First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable under Section 9.03 and amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, until paid in full;

(ii) Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Letter of Credit fees and obligations in respect of Cash Management Agreements and Swap Agreements, but including amounts payable under Section 9.03 and amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) payable to the Secured Parties, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(iii) Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, any unpaid Letter of Credit fees and LC Exposure and then outstanding regularly scheduled payments in respect of Cash Management Agreements and Swap Agreements, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

(iv) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal and premiums (if any) of the Loans and to the extent not otherwise paid in clause “Third”, obligations in respect of Cash Management Agreements and Swap Agreements, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

108

(v) Fifth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, until paid in full;

(vi) Sixth, the balance, if any, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Requirement of Law.

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

(d) Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other relevant Lender in respect of such other Lenders’ Loans of such Class or participation in LC Disbursements, as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements from the relevant Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment by the Borrower or any Loan Party made pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and as contemplated by Sections 2.11(a)(ii) and 9.04(g)), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate (or other pricing term, including any fee, discount or premium) in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension to the extent such transaction is permitted hereunder. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.

109

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (at the expense of the Borrower) to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 or eliminate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate at par, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned and delegated, each Issuing Bank), which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed participations in LC Disbursements, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

110

SECTION 2.20. Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent request (i) one or more additional Classes of term loans or additional or increases in term loans of the same Class of any existing Class of term loans, in each case, in Dollars or any other currency (the “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (iii) one or more additional Classes of revolving credit commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments,” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities” and the commitments in respect thereof are referred to as the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that, subject to Section 1.10, at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Revolving Commitment is made or effected (and after giving pro forma effect thereto), except as set forth in the proviso to clause (b) below, no Event of Default (or, in the case of the Incurrence or provision of any Incremental Facility in connection with an Acquisition or other Investment or any prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or similar payment of Indebtedness or Equity Interests that requires irrevocable notice in advance thereof, no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans, each tranche of Incremental Revolving Commitments and each Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (it being understood that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth below) (and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and, subject to the proviso at the end of this Section 2.20(b), the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and the Incremental Revolving Commitments (after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of the proceeds thereof) Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.20(b), shall not exceed, as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness or commitments, the Incremental Base Amount.

provided that

(i) Incremental Term Loans may be Incurred without regard to the Incremental Base Amount, without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and without regard to the minimums set forth in the first part of this Section 2.20(b), to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans on the date of Incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (or substantially concurrently therewith) are used to either (x) prepay Term Loans and related amounts in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b) and/or (y) permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (and, if applicable, repay or reduce any related revolving exposure thereunder) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(g)(ii) (and any such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to this proviso), and

(ii) Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided without regard to the Incremental Base Amount, without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and without regard to the minimums set forth in the first part of this Section 2.20(b), to the extent that the existing Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments or other Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be permanently reduced (and, if applicable, any related revolving exposure repaid or reduced) in accordance with Section 2.11(g)(ii) by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Commitments so provided (and any such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to this proviso).

111

(A) shall be secured only by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (and may be secured on a basis that is pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) or junior to (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not senior to) the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans), shall only be guaranteed by the Loan Parties, and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not prior to) the Initial Term Loans,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Initial Term Maturity Date,

(C) shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans; provided that, Incremental Term Loans that include scheduled amortization no greater than 1.0% per annum shall not be prohibited by this clause (C),

(D) any Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not, except in the case of any Refinancing of such Indebtedness, on a greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment,

(E) shall have a maturity date (subject to clause (B)), an amortization schedule (subject to clause (C)), and interest rates (including through fixed exchange rates or payment-in-kind interest), interest rate margins, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, rate floors, fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts, closing payments, currency types and denominations, and redemption or prepayment terms (subject to clause (D)) and premiums for the Incremental Term Loans as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is twelve months after the Effective Date, in the event that the Effective Yield for any floating rate Dollar-denominated Incremental Loans is greater than the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rates for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans are equal to the Effective Yield for the Incremental Loans minus 0.50% (this proviso, the “MFN Protection”),

(F) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Initial Term Loans; provided that (x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, any differences shall be, at the option of the Borrower, either (1) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) (except for covenants and other provisions or requirements applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date), (2) consistent with market terms and conditions, when taken as a whole, at the time of Incurrence or effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (3) not be materially more restrictive on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement, when taken as a whole and (y) the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility.

112

(d) The Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Revolving Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, the interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such upfront or similar fees to any existing Revolving Lenders)).

(e) The Incremental Revolving Commitments

(A) shall be secured only by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (and may be secured on a basis that is pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) or junior to (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not senior to) the Liens securing the Term Loans) and shall only be guaranteed by all or a portion of the Loan Parties, and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not prior to) the Term Loans,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the then latest Revolving Maturity Date (if any) and shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the then latest Revolving Maturity Date (if any),

(C) shall have interest rates (including through fixed exchange rates or payment-in-kind interest), interest rate margins, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, rate floors, fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts, closing payments, currency types and denominations, and redemption or prepayment terms (subject to clause (B)) and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms (subject to clause (B)) as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments,

(D) shall contain borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures (subject to clause (B)) as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments,

(E) may include provisions relating to letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder, which issuances shall be on terms substantially similar (except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment) to the terms relating to the Letters of Credit with respect to any then existing Class of Revolving Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall be required to act as “issuing bank” under any Incremental Revolving Facility without its written consent), and

(F) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of any then-existing Revolving Facility; provided that

(x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, any differences shall be, at the option of the Borrower, either (1) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) (except for covenants and other provisions or requirements applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date), (2) consistent with market terms and conditions, when taken as a whole, at the time

113

of Incurrence or effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (3) not be materially more restrictive on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement, when taken as a whole and (y) the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility, and

(y) the documentation governing any Incremental Revolving Commitments may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility (provided, further, however, that, if the applicable Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of such Revolving Facility or a covenant only applicable to, or for the benefit of, a revolving credit facility, the Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be automatically included in this Agreement only for the benefit of each Revolving Facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder)).

(f) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be given in writing and shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, no existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment will have any obligation to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase and no existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitment) or by any other bank, financial institution, other institutional lender or other investor (any such other bank, financial institution or other investor being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or such Incremental Revolving Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided, further, that, solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Issuing Bank shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(g) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such

114

Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section (including (i) in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant Revolving Lenders, (ii) to make amendments that are not adverse to the interests of any Lender that are made to effectuate changes necessary, (including to increase the Effective Yield of the applicable Class of Term Loans and adjustments to the amortization schedule, if any, of the applicable existing Class of Term Loans to ensure that any applicable Class of Incremental Term Loans are “fungible” with such existing Class of Term Loans for United States federal income tax purposes, which shall include any amendments that do not reduce the ratable amortizations received by each Lender hereunder, (iii) to add or extend “soft call” or add or extend any other “call protection”, in either case for the benefit of any existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Loans and/or (iv) add or modify any provisions pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(F) and Section 2.20(e)(F))). The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment and the occurrence of any Credit Extension pursuant to such Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided, however, that the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans Incurred, and any Incremental Revolving Commitments provided, in either case as described in the proviso to Section 2.20(b), shall be used in accordance with the terms thereof.

(h) No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments unless it so agrees and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(i) Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Class immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving pro forma effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Class (including each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class of all Lenders represented by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment of such Class. If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans of such Class outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments of such Class), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans of such Class being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

115

(j) This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions of this Section 2.20 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Incremental Commitment without such Lender’s consent.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any amendment, modification or waiver of the Loan Documents that is to occur simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the incurrence of any Incremental Facilities for the primary purpose of influencing the consents for such amendment, modification or waiver, the Commitments and/or Loans under any such Incremental Facility shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether sufficient Lenders have consented to such amendment, modification or waiver.

SECTION 2.21. Maturity Extension.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all (but not less than all) Lenders of a Class of Term Loans or a Class of Revolving Commitments or a Class of Incremental Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis (provided that the Borrower shall promptly provide notice of such offer to the Administrative Agent and, the Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender of such applicable Class of such offer) and the Lenders of such Class shall be able to accept or reject such offer, and the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (each, an “Extension”), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(A) the Revolving Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”, any such loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Class of Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with substantially the same terms as the original Class of Commitments being extended (and related outstandings) and which shall be pari passu in right of payment and security (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the original Class of Commitments; provided that

(w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the original Class of Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments were extended,

(x) (1) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those of the original Class of Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments were extended and/or (2) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (1) and

(y) (1) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those of the original Class of Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments were extended and (2) the Extension Offer may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21, Section 2.11(g) or otherwise,

116

(I) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Loans under any Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Loans of the of the original Class of Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments were extended (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Offer and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the of the original Class of Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments were extended),

(II) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.04 and

(III) subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.11(g)(ii), permanent repayments of Loans (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and

(B) the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans” and any such commitment to provide such Extended Term Loans, an “Extended Term Loan Commitment”) shall have substantially the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer and shall be pari passu in right of payment and security (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer;

provided that

(w) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of the original Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.10 or in the Extension Offer or the Incremental Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the original Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended),

(x) (A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the original Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Offer,

(y) subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.11, the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and

117

(z) the Extension Offer may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date.

If the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, with any allocated amounts in excess of any applicable Lender’s actual holdings of record to be reallocated pro rata across the remaining Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans or Revolving Loans who have accepted such Extension Offer. All documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 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 (a “Minimum Extension Condition”), which condition may be waived by the Borrower, 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) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments 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 any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.21.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Commitments (or any portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Bank to the extent that such Issuing Bank is materially adversely affected or is being asked to extend its role in connection with Letters of Credit beyond the then-applicable Revolving Maturity Date. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Document Obligations that are secured by Liens on the Collateral that are equal in priority to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any Extension (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments and as a separate Class hereunder of Loans and Commitments, as the case may be). In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Maturity Date with respect to such Class in respect of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of such applicable Class shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding such applicable Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving

118

Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding such applicable Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such applicable Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, 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 acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.21.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans or the Extended Revolving Commitments, in each case to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Offer, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Agreement”) within 15 days following the effective date of such applicable Extension, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Agreement shall (i) provide for the extension of Term Loans under the original Class of Term Loans, or Revolving Commitments, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (and related exposure) of any Class, as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related revolving credit exposure) of the applicable Extension series into which such other Term Loans or commitments were initially extended, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably determine are necessary to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.21(e).

(f) This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

119

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be, applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then-current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided that, if such payment is the payment of the principal amount of any Loan or the payment of any amount constituting LC Disbursements, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and unreimbursed LC Disbursements owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders or Issuing Banks prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.22(a)(ii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. A Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive or accrue any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall not be entitled to receive or accrue any Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.12(b) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:

(A) the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class; provided that (a) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Exposure and total LC Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, and

120

(B) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the proviso in clause (A) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than two Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Issuing Bank), (a) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the applicable Issuing Banks in respect of such LC Exposure in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Exposure, or (b) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (provided that, solely with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank must also so agree in writing in their sole discretion), the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which shall include arrangements with respect to the return to the Borrower of any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23. Illegality. If after the Effective Date it becomes unlawful, or any Governmental Authority after the Effective Date has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR. Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

121

SECTION 2.24. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.25. Appointment of Borrower. Each of the Loan Parties hereby appoints the Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in connection herewith and agrees that (a) the Borrower may execute such documents and provide such authorizations on behalf of such Loan Parties as the Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Loan Party shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document and/or authorization executed on its behalf, (b) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender to the Borrower shall be deemed delivered to each Loan Party and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, authorization, instrument or agreement executed by the Borrower on behalf of each of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 2.26. Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall hold Initial Term Loans in an amount equal to the Unidentified Claimant Term Loan Amount for the benefit of the Unidentified Claimants until the earlier of (x) the Reversion Date, at which time all remaining Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent shall be cancelled, terminated and discharged pursuant to Section 2.27(b) and (y) the date on which all of the Disbursement Agent’s rights and obligations hereunder are assigned to Claimant Assignees and/or discharged, terminated and cancelled, in each case, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 9.04(b). In connection with any vote, consent or other instruction that the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to deliver with respect to the Initial Term Loans it holds for the benefit of the Unidentified Claimants, the Disbursement Agent shall vote such Initial Term Loans (or shall give instructions with respect to such Initial Term Loans) in the same proportion as the other Loans entitled to vote or give such instruction have voted or given such instruction. For the avoidance of doubt, WW International, Inc. shall be deemed to be acting in its capacity as Disbursement Agent and Initial Term Lender with respect to the relevant provisions in this Agreement relating to Unidentified Claimants, and not in its capacity as the Borrower; provided that, acting in such capacity as Disbursement Agent shall not otherwise affect its rights and obligations under this Agreement in its capacity as Borrower, except as expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 2.27. Undeliverable Distributions.

(a) If, on the date that is eighteen months after the Effective Date (the “Reversion Date”), an Initial Term Lender has failed to comply with its obligations hereunder to provide a completed Administrative Questionnaire, then, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the Reversion Date each such Initial Term Lender’s Initial Term Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be deemed unclaimed property or interests in property pursuant to Section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and an “Unclaimed Distribution” under and as defined in the Confirmed Chapter 11 Plan and shall revert to the Borrower and be automatically discharged, terminated and cancelled (and the Administrative Agent shall update the Register to reflect such discharge, termination and cancellation).

(b) If, on the Reversion Date (or, if later with respect to any Unidentified Claimant that has become a Claimant Assignee on or prior to the Reversion Date, the Response Deadline), the Disbursement Agent holds Initial Term Loans for the benefit of any Unidentified Claimant, such Initial Term Loans shall be deemed unclaimed property or interests in property pursuant to Section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and an “Unclaimed Distribution” under and as defined in the Confirmed Chapter 11 Plan and shall revert to the Borrower and be automatically discharged, terminated and cancelled (and the

122

Administrative Agent shall update the Register to reflect such discharge, termination and cancellation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Disbursement Agent shall cease to be a Lender and a party to this Agreement on and from the earlier of (x) the later of (A) the Reversion Date and (B) the date on which the last Claimant Assignee completes the documentation required under Section 9.04(b) and (y) the latest Response Deadline for any Unidentified Claimant that shall have become a Claimant Assignee identified prior to the Reversion Date (if any), which date shall be no later than eight months from the Effective Date. The Disbursement Agent shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Reversion Date of the principal amount of Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent for the benefit of Unidentified Claimants which are subject to discharge, termination and cancellation on the Reversion Date pursuant to this Section 2.27(b).

SECTION 5.03. Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to:

(a) Keep its insurable properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts as shall be customary for similar businesses and maintain such other reasonable insurance (including self-insurance which, in the good-faith judgment of management of the Borrower, the Borrower believes is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business), of such types, to such extent and against such risks, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.07, (A) Restricted Payments need not be made solely by reference to one category of Restricted Payments permitted by this Section 6.07 but are permitted to be made in part under any combination thereof and of any other available exemption, and (B) in the event that any Restricted Payment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Restricted Payments permitted by this Section 6.07, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Restricted Payment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the definition thereof.

(a) [reserved];

(b) any issuance of Equity Interests, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities, Equity Interests or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, equity purchase agreements, deferred compensation agreements, stock options and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower;

(g) transactions to effect the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions;

(h) employment agreements and severance arrangements and health, disability and similar insurance or benefit plans between the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees (including management and employee benefit plans or agreements, subscription agreements or similar agreements pertaining to the repurchase of Equity Interests pursuant to put/call rights or similar rights with present or former employees, officers or directors and stock option or incentive plans and other compensation arrangements) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower;

(a) prepay, repurchase, redeem or otherwise defease or make similar payments in respect of any Material Junior Debt on or prior to the date that is one year prior to the stated maturity thereof (it being understood that payments of regularly scheduled interest, fees, expenses, indemnification obligations and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) is continuing or would result therefrom, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments shall be permitted); provided, however, the Borrower or any Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase, redeem, defease, acquire or otherwise make payments on any such Material Junior Debt

(i) with the proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness,

(ii) by converting or exchanging any such Indebtedness to Qualified Equity Interests of the Borrower, and

(iii) in an aggregate amount that shall not cause the aggregate amount of all such prepayments, repurchases, redemptions, defeasances, acquisitions or other payments made pursuant to this Section 6.10(a)(iii) measured at the time such prepayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or other payment is made to exceed, after giving pro forma effect thereto, an amount equal to $15,000,000,

167

(iv) of Indebtedness acquired pursuant to Section 6.01(h), so long as such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or similar payment is made or deposited with a trustee or other similar representative of the holders of such Junior Debt contemporaneously with, or substantially simultaneously with, the closing of the Acquisition under which such Junior Debt is Incurred and

(v) within 60 days of the date of the Redemption Notice if, at the date of any payment, redemption, repurchase, retirement, termination or cancellation notice in respect thereof (the “Redemption Notice”), such payment, redemption, repurchase, retirement termination or cancellation would have complied with another provision of this Section 6.10(a); provided that such payment, redemption, repurchase, retirement termination or cancellation shall reduce capacity under such other provision.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.10, (A) Junior Debt Payments need not be made solely by reference to one category of Junior Debt Payments permitted by this Section 6.10 but are permitted to be made in part under any combination thereof and of any other available exemption, (B) in the event that any Junior Debt Payment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Junior Debt Payments permitted by this Section 6.10, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Junior Debt Payment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the definition thereof and (C) in the event that a portion of any Junior Debt Payment could be classified as having been made pursuant to Section 6.10(a)(iii) above (giving pro forma effect to the making of such Junior Debt Payment), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify such portion of such Junior Debt Payments as having been made pursuant to Section 6.10(a)(iii) above and thereafter the remainder of such Junior Debt Payment or as having been made pursuant to one or more of the other clauses of this Section 6.10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall prohibit (i) the repayment, prepayment, repurchase, redemption or other payment of intercompany subordinated Indebtedness owed among the Borrower and/or the Subsidiaries, in either case unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower has received a notice from the Administrative Agent instructing it not to make or permit the Borrower and/or the Subsidiaries to make any such repayment or prepayment or (ii) substantially concurrent transfers of credit positions in connection with intercompany debt restructurings so long as such Indebtedness is permitted by Section 6.01 after giving pro forma effect to such transfer.

(b) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, amend or modify any provision of the documentation governing any Material Junior Debt (including any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), other than amendments or modifications that, when taken as a whole, (A) are not in any manner materially adverse to the Lenders and that do not affect the subordination provisions thereof (if any) in a manner adverse to the Lenders or (B) otherwise comply with the definition of “Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness”.

(c) The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to enter into any agreement or instrument that by its terms restricts (i) the ability of any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party to pay dividends or distributions or make other distributions on its Equity Interests to the Borrower or any Loan Party that is a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary or (ii) the ability of the Borrower or any Loan Party to create, incur, assume or permit to exist Liens on the property of such Person pursuant to the Security Documents to secure the Secured Obligations, in each case, other than those arising under any Loan Document or the Senior Secured Note Document, except, in each case, restrictions existing by reason of:

(C) any restriction on the Equity Interests or assets of a Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or Disposition of such Equity Interests or assets permitted under Section 6.06 pending the closing of such sale or Disposition;

(E) (i) any restrictions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.01 and secured by a Lien permitted by Section 6.02 (other than Section 6.02(y)) to secure such Indebtedness to the extent that such restrictions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, and (ii) restrictions imposed by other Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock permitted to be incurred subsequent pursuant to Section 6.01 and either (x) the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock are no less favorable to the Borrower, taken as a whole, as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith, than the provisions contained in this Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date or (y) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the payment of dividends in an amount sufficient, as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith, to make scheduled payments of cash interest on the Loans when due;

(N) customary net worth provisions contained in Real Property leases entered into by Subsidiaries of the Borrower, so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that such net worth provisions could not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to meet their ongoing obligation.

SECTION 6.11. Material Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

(a) The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary Loan Party to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Material Property (whether pursuant to a sale, lease, license, transfer, Investment, restricted payment, Dividend or otherwise or relating to the exclusive rights thereto) to any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party, other than the grant of a non-exclusive license of intellectual property to any Subsidiary of the Borrower (i) in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice and (ii) for a bona fide business purpose.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Le▇▇▇▇ ▇nd the Issuing Banks 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 Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, it being understood that the provisions of this Article VIII apply to the collateral agent in its capacity as such and references to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII shall be interpreted accordingly to include references to the collateral agent. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03 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.

SECTION 8.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) or an Issuing Bank (if applicable) as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” or “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person

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

(c) shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, 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, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 and in the last paragraph of Section 7.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment); provided that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default and clearly labeled “notice of Default” (or similar language) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (but shall be entitled to rely thereon), (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (but shall be entitled to rely thereon), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or

174

conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value, the sufficiency or collectability of any Collateral or any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of any Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith (but shall be entitled to rely thereon), the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral, providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on (including any flood insurance policies or for determining whether any flood insurance policies are of should be obtained in respect of the Collateral), nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or (vii) satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Agent;

(f) shall not be required to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank and each Lender and Issuing Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties; and

(g) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Commitments or Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

For purposes of clarity, and without limiting any rights, protections, immunities or indemnities afforded to Administrative Agent hereunder (including without limitation this Article VIII), phrases such as “satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,” “approved by the Administrative Agent,” “acceptable to the Administrative Agent,” “as determined by the Administrative Agent,” “in the Administrative Agent’s discretion,” “selected by the Administrative Agent,” “elected by the Administrative Agent,” “requested by the Administrative Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize and permit either the Administrative Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall be subject to the Administrative Agent receiving written direction from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as expressly required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to take such action or to exercise such rights.

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of

175

a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

SECTION 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, subject to the appointment of a successor. If the Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate thereof) becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise is not performing its role hereunder as Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent hereunder at the request of the Borrower or the Required Lenders upon 10 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, subject to the appointment of a successor. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $1.0 billion) (provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, but is under no obligation to, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (and with the consent of the Borrower, unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in the United States, or any Affiliate of any such Approved Bank; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided that in the case of a retiring Administrative Agent in respect to any collateral security held by it on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest)) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as

176

Administrative Agent he▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or replaced) Administrative Agent, and the retiring or replaced Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or replaced Administrative Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or replaced Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or replaced Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

SECTION 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Loan Party;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or by any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document,

continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, any Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

177

SECTION 8.08. [Reserved].

SECTION 8.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or outstanding Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (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, Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements outstanding and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as Administrative Agent, for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Requirements of Law in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to

178

be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 9.02), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Secured Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

SECTION 8.10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Banks from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VII and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

179

To the extent required by any Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.17 and without limiting any obligation of the Loan Parties to do so pursuant to such Section 2.17) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Article VIII. The agreements in this Article VIII shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” in this Article VIII shall include any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.11. Authorization to Release ▇▇▇▇▇ and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party to effect any release or subordination of Liens or the Guarantees contemplated by Section 9.15 without further action or consent by any Secured Party.

SECTION 8.12. Intercreditor Agreements. Without the consent of any Lender, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) is hereby authorized to enter into any Customary Intercreditor Agreement to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Customary Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) to enter into the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. In addition, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) to enter into (i) any amendments to any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i), and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated by Sections 6.02 and 9.18 of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.13. Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Swap Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Loan Guaranty, the Security Agreement, any other Security Document or any other Loan Document, no Person holding Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Swap Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan 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

180

or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender or Administrative Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Swap Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Person holding such Secured Obligations.

SECTION 8.14. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

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

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, that the

181

Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.15. Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or any Issuing Bank (any such Lender, any Issuing Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole reasonable discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient), where such payment, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise (any such funds, individually and collectively, a “Rescindable Amount”), and demands the return of such Rescindable Amount (or a portion thereof), such Rescindable Amount shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds (in the currency so received), the amount of any such Rescindable Amount (or portion thereof), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), then, said Payment Recipient shall be on notice, in each case, that an error has been made with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Rescindable Amount (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Payment Recipient shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Rescindable Amount (or portion thereof) in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under any of the immediately preceding clauses (b) or (c) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

182

(d) In the event that a Rescindable Amount (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (including, without limitation, the right to sell and assign the Loans (or any portion thereof), which were subject to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency) and (y) a Rescindable Amount shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Rescindable Amount is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Rescindable Amount that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Rescindable Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment of an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency will reduce the Commitments of any Payment Recipient and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to the assignment of an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Payment Recipient under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (for the avoidance of doubt, without increasing the Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to a Rescindable Amount, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Rescindable Amount received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) This Section 8.15 shall solely be an agreement between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.16. Parallel Debt.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (such undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are a result thereof, hereinafter being referred to as its “Parallel Debt”) to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable by it to any Secured Party under any Finance Document (the “Principal Obligations”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Principal Obligations. The Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall become due and payable as and when its Principal Obligations become due and payable.

183

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that:

(i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent (in its personal capacity and not in its capacity as agent) which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, its Principal Obligations and represents the Administrative Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from such Loan Party; and

(ii) any security created under or pursuant to the Loan Documents to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt and the Administrative Agent will hold such security in its own capacity and not as agent or trustee for the other Secured Parties. This provision prevails over any provision in any Finance Document that may otherwise result in the Administrative Agent holding the security in trust with regard to Dutch law governed security.

(i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased if and to the extent that its Principal Obligations have been paid or in the case of guarantee obligations discharged;

(ii) the Principal Obligations of each Loan Party shall be decreased if and to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or in the case of guarantee obligations discharged; and

(iii) the amount payable under the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall at no time exceed the amount payable under its Principal Obligations.

(d) Any amount received or recovered by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Parallel Debt (including, but not limited to, enforcement proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement subject to limitations (if any) expressly provided for in any Security Document.

The rights of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) to receive payment of the Principal Obligations of each Loan Party are several and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment under the Parallel Debt.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

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

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including the proviso in Section 2.14(b), Section 2.20 with respect to any Incremental Amendment, Section 2.21 with respect to any Extension or Section 9.18), and except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver contemplated in this Section below, which shall only require the consent of the Lenders expressly set forth therein and not the Required Lenders or any other majority or required percentage of Lenders of any Class of Loans or Commitments, neither this Agreement, any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) 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, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (and only such Lenders) and identified as follows:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Le▇▇▇▇ (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

186

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or prepayment premiums payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default, or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a reduction in principal, LC Disbursement or interest, fees or prepayment premium); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the “default rate” or amend Section 2.13(c);

(iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Incremental Amendment, or the reimbursement date with respect to any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or prepayment premium payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (pursuant to Section 2.21 or otherwise), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood the waiving of the applicability of post-default increases in interest rates and any waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or condition precedent set forth in Article IV shall not constitute a postponement of any date for payment of any principal, LC Disbursement or interest, fees or prepayment premium payable hereunder);

(vii) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Guaranty (except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Loan Guaranty) without the written consent of each Lender;

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders or the Lenders of the affected Class, if the consent of the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where this Section does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c)(i) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Section 9.04 would be

194

entitled to any payments under Sections 2.15 or Sections 2.17 in an amount greater than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to as of such date with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to such greater payments. The benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained in favor of the assignee (without prejudice to Section 8.07).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks (solely with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments) and any Lender (solely with respect to its own Loans and Commitments), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register and subaccounts shall record any cancellation or retirement of Loans contemplated by Section 2.11(a)(ii) or this Section 9.04.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Requirements of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

The Disbursement Agent shall assign Initial Term Loans held by it for the benefit of the Claimant Assignees (as defined below) to each Unidentified Claimant that (x) is an Eligible Assignee and (y) provides to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Reversion Date, information necessary to facilitate the distribution to which it is entitled and as a result becomes entitled to receive such distribution (each, a “Claimant Assignee”), subject to the satisfaction of the following (which, in any event, shall be satisfied no later than later of (i) the Reversion Date or (ii) two months following the initial response from such Claimant Assignee to the Disbursement Agent’s request for information (the date in this clause (ii) with respect to any Claimant Assignee, the “Response Deadline”)): (x) the Disbursement Agent, the Borrower, the Claimant Assignee and the Administrative Agent shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which Assignment and Assumption shall set forth principal amount of Initial Term

195

Loans being assigned and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon and shall require the Disbursement Agent to turn over all accrued and paid interest on the Initial Term Loans being assigned to the Claimant Assignee and (y) the Claimant Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms required pursuant to Section 2.17(e). The Disbursement Agent shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent promptly after becoming aware of the existence of any Claimant Assignee, which written notice shall include the name of the Claimant Assignee, the Response Deadline for such Claimant Assignee and the principal amount of Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent for the benefit of such Claimant Assignee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be a natural Person and no Lender may assign or transfer, by assignment, participation or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations hereunder to a natural Person. If any Unidentified Claimant is a natural Person and responds to a request from the Disbursement Agent for, or otherwise provides, necessary information to receive payment prior to the Reversion Date (a “Non-Permitted Claimant”) and, as a result, would otherwise be entitled to receive Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent but for the fact that such Unidentified Claimant is a natural Person, then the Borrower shall (y) promptly provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Non-Permitted Claimant Notice”) specifying the name of the applicable Non-Permitted Claimant, the Principal Amount of Initial Term Loans that the Disbursement Agent holds for the benefit of such Non-Permitted Claimant, and the date on which the Borrower will pay or cause to be paid such Non-Permitted Claimant (which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after the Borrower or the Disbursement Agent becomes aware of such Non-Permitted Claimant and its entitlement to receive such Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent) (such payment date, the “Non-Permitted Claimant Payment Date”) and (z) on the Non-Permitted Claimant Payment Date, pay, or cause to be paid, to such Non-Permitted Claimant in cash an amount equal to the Principal Amount of Initial Term Loans (plus any accrued interest thereon to such date) that the Disbursement Agent holds for the benefit of such Non-Permitted Claimant pursuant to the Confirmed Chapter 11 Plan, at which time, and without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Principal Amount of Initial Term Loans held by the Disbursement Agent for the benefit of the applicable Non-Permitted Claimant shall be automatically discharged, terminated and cancelled and the Administrative Agent shall update the Register to reflect such discharge, termination and cancellation.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons other than a natural person or a Defaulting Lender (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents; 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 described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 2.17(e), and Section 2.19 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) shall be delivered to the

196

participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other Tax proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the parties 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of such participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or except to the extent such greater entitlement results from a Change in Law after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other “central” bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Requirements of 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.

197

(f) [Reserved]

(g) [Reserved]

(h) [Reserved]

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to disclose to any Lender (including any Public Lender) upon request whether any potential assignee or Participant of such Lender is a Disqualified ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(e) or (f).

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

198

(b) The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Notices of Borrowing, Interest Election Requests, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirements of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of 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, any such Issuing Bank or such an Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

199

(A) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over the subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having such jurisdiction;

(B) in the event that a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its property or assets in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09(b)(iii) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding;

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed

(i) to its and its Affiliates’ and to its and their respective directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors, professionals and other experts or agents, in each case who need to know such Information in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents and who are informed of the confidential nature of such Information and who are subject to customary confidentiality obligations of professional practice or who agree to be bound by the terms of this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph) (it being understood that each of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by any of their respective Related Parties),

(ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority, required by Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that solely to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law and other than in connection with audits and reviews by regulatory and self-regulatory authorities, each Issuing Bank, Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable of any such requested or required disclosure in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding prior to any disclosure of such Information; provided further that in no event shall any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return after such Person receives notice of any materials furnished by the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower,

201

(iii) to any other party to this Agreement,

(iv) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar (or at least as restrictive) to those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and its obligations under the Loan Documents or (C) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d), and

(v) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or any similar confidentiality obligations or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower that is not subject to confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries.

For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all non-public information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any other Subsidiary or their business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.14. Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.15. Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released

(i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below,

(ii) upon the sale, transfer or other Disposition (including by any Disposition by means of a Restricted Payment) of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale, transfer or other Disposition (including by any Disposition by means of a Restricted Payment) permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale, transfer or other Disposition (including by any Disposition by means of a Restricted Payment) is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry),

(iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party by a Person that is not a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease,

(iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.02),

(v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Subsidiary Loan Party, upon the release of such Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty and the Security Agreement (in accordance with the third succeeding sentence, Section 3.15 of the Loan Guaranty and Section 7.12 of the Security Agreement), and

203

(vi) as required by the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) to effect any sale, transfer or other Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.

In addition, upon the receipt of prior written notice from the Borrower, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Assets shall be released by the Administrative Agent. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that a Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released from the Loan Guaranty and the Security Agreement upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary or, after written notice is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent amounts not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not Cash Collateralized or back-stopped in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Secured Swap Obligations outstanding, (ii) Secured Cash Management Obligations outstanding and (iii) any contingent amounts not then due. Any such release of Guarantees and Collateral shall be deemed subject to the provision that the Guarantees under the Loan Guaranty and the Administrative Agent’s security interests in such Collateral shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Loan Document Obligations secured thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c) The Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to subordinate its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(i) or (j).

(d) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to provide any release or evidence of release, termination or subordination contemplated by this Section 9.15. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Document and this Section 9.15.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, to the extent any Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely as a result of (A) becoming a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary and otherwise remains a Subsidiary of a Loan Party or (B) becoming a Subsidiary of any Foreign Subsidiary, (i) any such release under this clause (e) shall only be permitted or authorized if (x) such Subsidiary become a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction with

204

a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, (y) any such transaction was undertaken for a legitimate business purpose and not for the primary purpose of releasing the guarantee or for debt incurrence or liability management (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith), and (z) such transaction otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement (with the Borrower being deemed to have made an Investment in such resulting non-Subsidiary Loan Party, which must be an Investment permitted by Section 6.04) and (ii) no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor, borrower or co-borrower, as applicable, in respect of any Material Indebtedness or any Superpriority Revolving Credit Facility.

SECTION 9.16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) and agrees that (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions and (B) none of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will not claim that the Administrative Agent has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with the Transactions or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.18. Additional Secured Indebtedness.

(a) In connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is, or is intended to be, secured by ▇▇▇▇▇ on the Collateral that are intended to rank equal in priority with (but without regard to the control of remedies) or junior in priority to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, at the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) agrees to execute and deliver a

205

Customary Intercreditor Agreement, with any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications thereto, as applicable, and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably determined by the Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the Collateral in respect of such Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Borrower, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified. In connection with any such amendment, restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification, the Loan Parties shall deliver such officers’ certificates and supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action contemplated by the preceding sentence, and any such amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver of or supplement to or other modification of any such Loan Document shall be effective notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02.

(b) The Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) is authorized by the Lenders (i) to enter into any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document, as provided in the preceding paragraph (a) and (ii) to enter into any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, in connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank or are intended to rank equal in priority with (but without regard to the control of remedies), or that rank or are intended to rank, junior in priority to, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, and if any such intercreditor agreement is posted to the Lenders five Business Days before being executed and the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such intercreditor agreement, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have consented to such intercreditor agreement and the Administrative Agent’s execution thereof.

SECTION 9.19. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any of the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

206

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements 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 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 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):

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.

207

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
