REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Revolving Credit Agreement is entered into as of August 19, 2021, by and among The X. X. Xxxxxxx Company, an Ohio corporation (together with any successor thereto in accordance with Section 8.9 hereof, the “U.S. Borrower”), Xxxxxxx Foods of Canada Corp., a federally incorporated Canadian corporation (the “Canadian Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower party hereto pursuant to Section 1.16 (each, a “Designated Borrower” and, together with the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower” and together, the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent and the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders make available to them the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, and the Lenders have indicated their willingness to provide the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. THE CREDIT FACILITIES.

Section 1.1. Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars and Euros to any Domestic Borrower and in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis in an aggregate outstanding Original Dollar Amount up to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, that immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing, (i) the sum of the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Swing Loans, and the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time, and (ii) the sum of the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans of each Lender, the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all interests in Swing Loans of each Lender and the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all interests in L/C Obligations of each Lender does not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As provided in Section 1.6(a) hereof, the Domestic Borrowers, for U.S. Dollar Borrowings, may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either U.S. Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and for Euro Borrowings, shall borrow Revolving Loans that are EURIBOR Loans and the Canadian Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans that are CAD CDOR Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Section 1.2. Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments. Any Borrower may, on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (i) request one or more term loans as a separate tranche under this Agreement (each an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”; together with any Incremental Term Loans, each an “Incremental Loan Facility”) identifying one or more additional Lenders (or additional Revolving Credit Commitments for existing Lender(s)) and the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s)); provided, however, that (a) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount (or incurrence of Incremental Term Loans the aggregate principal amount of which, when taken together with the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments, would be) in excess of $3,000,000,000 will require the approval of the Required Lenders, (b) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (or incurrence of Incremental Term Loans) shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000, (c) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or on the effective date of the Incremental Loan Facility, and (d) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects at the effective date of such Incremental Loan Facility (except to the extent the same expressly relate to an earlier date, provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects). The effective date of the Incremental Loan Facility shall be designated by the Borrowers in consultation with the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Lender(s) (or, if applicable, existing Lender(s)) shall advance Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its advance each Lender shall have outstanding its Revolver Percentage of Revolving Loans. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay any reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Incremental Loan Facility. The Borrowers may request one or more persons reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent to provide such Commitment Amount Increase or one or more persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to provide such Incremental Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or to participate as a Lender in an Incremental Term Loan and no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. In the case of the Incremental Term Loans, (i) such Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to clauses (ii) and (iv) below), as and to the extent applicable to a term loan facility; provided that the interest rate margins and other economic terms, amortization schedule, prepayment terms, and currency applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereunder; (ii) the maturity date for such Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Revolving Credit Termination Date; (iii) such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Loans; (iv) the applicable Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents of the applicable Borrower authorizing the Incremental Term Loans as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (v) each Incremental Term Loan shall be effected pursuant to one or more agreements in form and

substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders (which agreement or agreements may, without the consent of any other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 1.2). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.2 shall limit the Borrowers’ ability otherwise to issue, incur, assume, create or have outstanding Debt to the extent otherwise permitted hereby or to amend this Agreement in the manner provided in Section 13.13, including to provide for additional incurrence of Debt hereunder on the terms described in this paragraph or on other terms.

Section 1.3. Letters of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, each Borrower may request from an L/C Issuer standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for its account or for the account of one or more of its Subsidiaries in U.S. Dollars or, with respect to the Specified L/C Issuers only, Canadian Dollars in the Original Dollar Amount of an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit; provided that after giving effect to any Credit Event with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, interests in Swing Loans and interests in L/C Obligations of any Lender shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender, (y) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit and (z) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer shall not exceed such L/C Issuer’s Letter of Credit Sublimit. The Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by the applicable L/C Issuer, but each Lender shall be obligated to reimburse such L/C Issuer for such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage on a dollar-for-dollar basis of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit requested by it for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(b) Applications for Letters of Credit; Issuing Letters of Credit. At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, at the request of either Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit (i) in U.S. Dollars for the account of any Domestic Borrower and its Subsidiaries or in Canadian Dollars for the account of the Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries; (ii) in a form satisfactory to such L/C Issuer; (iii) with expiration dates of no later than the earlier of (A) 12 months from the date of issuance or from the date of any renewal (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance or from the date of any renewal) and (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the applicable Borrower has arranged for the Letter of Credit to be cash collateralized before such

fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an aggregate face amount as set forth above, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by such Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is for the account of one of its Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the applicable L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). Promptly after receipt of any Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 7.1 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s customary procedures. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the relevant Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.9 or Section 1.15 hereof, unless an Event of Default exists, the applicable L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by any Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if such L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, the obligation of the U.S. Borrower to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing (which amount, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted to and based on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount thereof) shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the U.S. Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed) plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Base Rate Loans, subject to Section 1.10 hereof. If an L/C Issuer issues any Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless such L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, and unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders instruct such L/C Issuer otherwise, the applicable L/C Issuer will give notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if: (i) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit if so extended would be after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated before such required notice date, or (iii) an Event of Default exists as of such required notice date and either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (with notice to the Administrative Agent) have given such L/C Issuer instructions not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. Each L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to its Letters of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit subject to the conditions of Section 7.1 hereof and the other terms of this Section 1.3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no L/C Issuer shall be under an obligation to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if (A) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 1.3(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender satisfactory to such L/C Issuer to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk

with respect to such Lender (B) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such L/C Issuer shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular; (C) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; (D) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit; or (E) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars.

(c) The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 1.3(b) hereof, the obligation of a Borrower to reimburse an L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit originally requested by such Borrower (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when each drawing is to be paid if the applicable Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the applicable L/C Issuer on or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower that originally requested such Letter of Credit after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day, in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Charlotte, North Carolina, or such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the applicable Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to such L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds); provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, request in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof (but without regard to the minimum borrowing amounts and increments in Section 1.5 hereof) that such reimbursement be financed with a Borrowing that is comprised of Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, the relevant Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that such Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in U.S. Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, such L/C Issuer shall notify the relevant Borrower of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in Canadian Dollars is to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars pursuant to the foregoing sentence and (B) the U.S. Dollar amount paid by the relevant Borrower, whether on or after the date of drawing, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in Canadian Dollars equal to the drawing, such Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify such L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase Canadian Dollars in the full amount of the drawing. If a Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(e) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.3(e) below.

(d) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse its L/C Obligations as provided in subsection (c) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Application under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly 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 1.3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuers shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an L/C Issuer from liability to the relevant Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused such the L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an L/C Issuer 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.

(e) The Participating Interests. Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as an L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit) (a “Participating Lender”), by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from each L/C Issuer, and each L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Participating Lender, an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its Revolver Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such L/C Issuer. Upon any failure by a Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid, as set forth in Section 1.3(c) above, or if an L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to a Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any

portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A (Notice of Payment Request) hereto from such L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or from the Administrative Agent on behalf of such L/C Issuer to such effect, if such certificate is received before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), or not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to (or, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of) such Participating Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by such L/C Issuer to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by such L/C Issuer to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the U.S. Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with such L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder. The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to each L/C Issuer under this Section 1.3(e) shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or have had against any Borrower, any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 1.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Until each Lender funds its Loan or funded risk participation to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3(e) by the time specified, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan or funded risk participation, as the case may be. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Indemnification. The Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuers (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the applicable L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) that an L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 1.3(f) and all other parts of this Section 1.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.

(g) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. A Borrower shall provide at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its account, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by such Borrower and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice (and such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to any such issuance, extension, amendment or increase have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) and such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested.

(h) Removal or Replacement of an L/C Issuer. An L/C Issuer may be removed as an L/C Issuer or replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and (if applicable) any successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such removal or replacement of an L/C Issuer. At the time any such removal or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower that requested a Letter of Credit shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) each successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of its predecessor L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the removal or replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the removed or replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(i) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (1998) (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 (the “UCP”) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(j) L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 1.3, provide the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Report, as follows: (i) reasonably prior to the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed); (ii) within two Business Days of issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension of a Letter of Credit, all information required by the Administrative Agent regarding such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension, (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment; (iv) on any Business Day on which the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment; (v) on any Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; (vi) no later than the second Business Day of each month, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars; and (vii) for so long as any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (B) by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the end of each quarter (provided that any and all activity after such time shall be moved to the next billing cycle) (C) at all other times a Letter of Credit Report is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (D) on each date that (1) a Letter of Credit is issued, or (2) there is any expiration, cancellation and/or disbursement, in each case, with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

Section 1.4. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) U.S. Base Rate Loans. Each U.S. Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or created by conversion from a LIBOR Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the U.S. Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by the relevant Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), provided that interest shall not accrue on any Loan (or portion thereof) for the day such Loan (or portion thereof) is paid as provided in Section 3.1.

“U.S. Base Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its “prime rate”, or its equivalent, for U.S. Dollar loans to borrowers located in the United States as in effect on such day, with any change in the U.S. Base Rate resulting from a change in said prime rate to be effective as of opening of business on the date specified in the public announcement of the relevant change in said prime rate (it being acknowledged and agreed that such rate may not be the Administrative Agent’s best or lowest rate, and the “prime rate” is a rate set by Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate), (b) the sum of (i) the rate per

annum calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depository institutions (as determined in such manner as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shall set forth on its public website from time to time) and published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the federal funds effective rate (the “Federal Funds Rate”); provided that if the Federal Funds Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement, plus (ii) 1/2 of 1%, and (c) the LIBOR Quoted Rate for such day plus 1.00%; provided that if the U.S. Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “LIBOR Quoted Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the quotient of (x) the LIBOR Index Rate for a one-month Interest Period on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) divided by (y) one (1) minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage. If the U.S. Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, then the U.S. Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

(b) LIBOR Loans. Each LIBOR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a U.S. Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the relevant Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), provided that interest shall not accrue on any Loan (or portion thereof) for the day such Loan (or portion) is paid as provided in Section 3.1.

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:


Adjusted LIBOR=		LIBOR
Adjusted LIBOR=		1 -Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage

“Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage” means the maximum reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any emergency, marginal, special, and supplemental reserves) are imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or any successor thereto), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto. For purposes of this definition, the relevant Loans shall be deemed to be “eurocurrency liabilities” as defined in Regulation D without benefit or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D. The Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in any such reserve percentage. As of the Closing Date, the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage is zero.

“LIBOR” means, for an Interest Period for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Period; provided that if the LIBOR shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.

“LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) equal to the LIBOR Screen Rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the day two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period.

“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the London Interbank Offered Rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for U.S. Dollars for a period equal in length to such Interest Period) as published on the applicable Reuters screen page designated by the Administrative Agent (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion).

(c) EURIBOR Loans. Each EURIBOR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall be denominated in Euros and shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the relevant Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), provided that interest shall not accrue on any Loan (or portion thereof) for the day such Loan (or portion thereof) is paid as provided in Section 3.1.

“EURIBOR Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum equal to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), or a comparable or successor rate which rate is approved by the Administrative Agent, Reuters screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) on the day that is two (2) Business Days before the beginning of such Interest Period (or such other day as is generally treated as the rate fixing day by market practice in such interbank market, as determined by the Administrative Agent) or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the immediately preceding Business Day prior to the commencement of such Interest Period (or such other day as is generally treated as the rate fixing day by market practice in such interbank market, as determined by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably); provided that to the extent a comparable or successor rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with any rate set forth in this definition, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; and if the EURIBOR Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement. No adjustment shall be made to account for the difference between the number of days in a year on which the rates referred to in this definition are based and the number of days in a year on the basis of which interest is calculated in this Agreement.

“Adjusted EURIBOR Rate” means, for any Borrowing of EURIBOR Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:


Adjusted EURIBOR Rate =		EURIBOR Rate
Adjusted EURIBOR Rate =		1 -Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage

(d) CAD CDOR Loans. Each CAD CDOR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars and shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the CAD CDOR Rate applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the Canadian Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), provided that interest shall not accrue on any Loan (or portion thereof) for the day such Loan (or portion thereof) is paid as provided in Section 3.1.

“CAD CDOR Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum equal to the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”), or a comparable or successor rate which rate is approved by the Administrative Agent, Reuters screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at or about 10:00 a.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on the first day of such Interest Period (or such other day as is generally treated as the rate fixing day by market practice in such interbank market, as determined by the Administrative Agent) or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the immediately preceding Business Day prior to the commencement of such Interest Period (or such other day as is generally treated as the rate fixing day by market practice in such interbank market, as determined by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably); provided that to the extent a comparable or successor rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with any rate set forth in this definition, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; and if the CAD CDOR Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement. No adjustment shall be made to account for the difference between the number of days in a year on which the rates referred to in this definition are based and the number of days in a year on the basis of which interest is calculated in this Agreement.

(e) Rate Determinations; Determinations of Original Dollar Amount. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder based on the foregoing, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error. The Spot Rate and the Original Dollar Amount of each Loan or L/C Obligation denominated in Canadian Dollars or Euros shall be determined or redetermined, as applicable, on each Revaluation Date.

(f) Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent to the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by three hundred sixty (360) or such other period of time, respectively.

(g) 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 “LIBOR”, “EURIBOR Rate”, “CAD CDOR Rate” or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate or Benchmark Replacement) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Section 1.5. Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum LIBOR Loans. Each Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. Each Borrowing of CAD CDOR Loans shall be in an amount not less than CAD $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans advanced, continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Each Borrowing of EURIBOR Loans advanced, continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to €5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of €1,000,000. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than twelve (12) Borrowings, in the aggregate, of LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans outstanding hereunder.

Section 1.6. Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. Any Borrower requesting a Borrowing of Loans shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, (ii) on the date such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans, (iii) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of CAD CDOR Loans and (iv) at least four (4) Business Days before the date on which such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of EURIBOR Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the relevant Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing obtained by it hereunder or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, a ratable portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of LIBOR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as LIBOR Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into U.S. Base Rate Loans, (ii) if such Borrowing is of U.S. Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, such Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into LIBOR Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by such Borrower, (iii) if such Borrowing is of EURIBOR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower may continue all of such Borrowing as EURIBOR Loans, (iv) if such Borrowing is of CAD CDOR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as CAD CDOR Loans. The relevant Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a

Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably) (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Representative of the relevant Borrower. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans must be given by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of CAD CDOR Loans for an additional Interest Period must be given by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Upon written notice to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) hereof with respect to any Borrower or any Principal Payment Default, without notice), no Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans shall be advanced or created by conversion, and no Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans shall be continued, if any Event of Default then exists. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy, or other telecommunication notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in good faith reliance thereon.

(b) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of any notice from a Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above and the Administrative Agent shall give notice to such Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination and, if such Borrowing is denominated in Canadian Dollars or Euros, shall give notice by such means to the Borrowers and each Lender of the Original Dollar Amount thereof.

(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If a Domestic Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.9(a), such Borrowing shall automatically (i) be converted into a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans if for a LIBOR Loan and (ii) continue as a EURIBOR Loan for an Interest Period of one month if for a EURIBOR Loan. If the Canadian Borrower fails to

give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of the continuation of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of CAD CDOR Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.9(a), such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a CAD CDOR Loan for an Interest Period of one month. In the event a Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation owed by it and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (A) in the case of a Domestic Borrower, a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit (or, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, under the Swing Line) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due, and (B) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, a Borrowing of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount thereof in U.S. Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit (or, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, under the Swing Line) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in Charlotte, North Carolina (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate). The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the relevant Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Charlotte, North Carolina (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate), by depositing or wire transferring such proceeds to the credit of such Borrower’s Designated Disbursement Account or as the relevant Borrower may otherwise designate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans requested on a same day basis, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the relevant Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the relevant Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the relevant Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day or, in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars or Euros, the cost to the Administrative Agent of funding the amount it advanced to fund such Lender’s Loan, as determined by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) from the date

two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, (x) in the case of a Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Base Rate in effect for each such day, (y) in the case of a Loan denominated in Euros, the cost to the Administrative Agent of funding the amount it advanced to fund such Lender’s Loan, or (z) in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, the U.S. Base Rate (to be calculated on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loan and paid in U.S. Dollars) in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower that received the proceeds of such Loan will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 1.12 hereof so that such Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment.

(f) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 hereof are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

Section 1.7. Swing Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the U.S. Borrower may request from the Swing Line Lender loans in U.S. Dollars (each individually a “Swing Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”), and the Swing Line Lender shall make a Swing Loan to the U.S. Borrower under the Swing Line upon such request; provided that (x) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swing Loan if (i) at such time, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 hereof have not been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) after giving effect to any such Swing Loan, the aggregate dollar amount of all Swing Loans then outstanding exceeds the Swing Line Sublimit, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iv) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, interests in Swing Loans and interests in L/C Obligations of any Lender would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Loans. Subject to the foregoing, Swing Loans may be availed of from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Swing Loan issued shall constitute a dollar-for-dollar usage by the U.S. Borrower of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders. Each Swing Loan requested by a Borrower shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolver Percentage times the amount of such Swing Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Swing Line Lender shall not be under an obligation to make a Swing Loan if a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under (d) or (e) below exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements with the U.S. Borrower or such Lender satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit as from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable by the applicable Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Requests for Swing Loans. The U.S. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior notice by telephone, telecopy or other telecommunication device reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed (if applicable) by an Authorized Representative of a U.S. Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date upon which the U.S. Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made to it, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of each Swing Loan extended to the U.S. Borrower shall be deposited or otherwise wire transferred to the U.S. Borrower’s Designated Disbursement Account or as the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender may otherwise agree. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the undertaking of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (provided that the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to an advance of any Swing Loan have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders).

(d) Refunding Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Swing Line Lender may at any time, on behalf of the U.S. Borrower (and the U.S. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request each Lender to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a U.S. Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default exists or the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 cannot then be satisfied, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s office in Charlotte, North Carolina (or such other location designated by the Administrative Agent), before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds of such Borrowing to the Swing Line Lender to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

(e) Participations. If any Lender refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Loan when requested by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 1.7(d) above for any reason, such Lender will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Swing Line Lender, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Loan that was to have been repaid with such Revolving Loan. Each Lender that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to the Swing Line Lender its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section 1.7(e) shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against any Borrower, any other Lender, or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section 1.7(e) shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7 by the time specified herein, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The U.S. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 1.8. Maturity of Loans. (a) Scheduled Payments of Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower that borrowed such Loan on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Requests for Extension. (i) The U.S. Borrower may, on up to two occasions, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days and not later than 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Revolving Credit Termination Date for an additional one year from the then-current Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that in no event shall the Revolving Credit Termination Date as so extended be a date that is more than five years after the applicable Extension Effective Date.

(ii) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not less than 20 days prior to such anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Revolving Credit Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date)) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(iii) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 15 days prior to such anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).

(iv) Additional Commitment Lenders. The U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time prior to the existing Revolving Credit Termination Date applicable to a Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 1.14; provided that each of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall undertake a Revolving Credit Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder on such date) and shall agree, with respect to such undertaken Revolving Credit Commitment, to such extension. At the existing Revolving Credit Termination Date in effect prior to such extension, (1) the commitments of Non-Extending Lenders that are not otherwise replaced with an Additional Commitment Lender will be terminated and the Loans of and other amounts due and payable to such Lenders will be repaid (it being understood that the commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders not consenting to such extension will remain in effect until the Revolving Credit Termination Date originally applicable to such Lenders), and (2) the U.S. Borrower shall make such additional prepayments as shall be necessary in order that the Loans and L/C Obligations hereunder immediately after such existing Revolving Credit Termination Date will not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(v) Minimum Extension Requirement. If the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to so extend their Revolving Credit Termination Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to such anniversary of the Closing Date, and the conditions in clause (vi) below are met, then, effective as of such anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Extension Effective Date”), the Revolving Credit Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the then current Revolving Credit Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Revolving Credit Termination Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(vi) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As condition precedents to such extension, (A) the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated the Extension Effective Date signed by an Authorized Representative of the U.S. Borrower certifying (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on or as of the Extension Effective Date or would occur as a result thereof and (ii) each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Extension Effective Date (except to the extent the same expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case the same shall be true and correct as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects) and (B) the U.S. Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent all fees, invoiced expenses and other amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on or prior to Extension Effective Date.

(vii) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.13 or 13.7 to the contrary.

(c) Swing Loans. The U.S. Borrower shall repay each Swing Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 1.9. Prepayments. (a) Optional. Any Borrower may prepay in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) if such Borrowing is of U.S. Base Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of LIBOR Loans, in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) if such Borrowing is of EURIBOR Loans, in an amount not less than €5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of €1,000,000, (iv) if such Borrowing is of CAD CDOR Loans, in Canadian Dollars in an amount not less than CAD $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of CAD $1,000,000, and (v) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.5 and 1.7 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period therefor and at any other time upon (A) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, three (3) Business Days prior notice by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, (B) in the case of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans, notice delivered by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of prepayment, (C) in the case of any Borrowing of CAD CDOR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefore and at any other time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, or (D) in the case of a Borrowing of EURIBOR Loans, four (4) Business Days prior notice by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or, in any case of clauses (A) through (D) above, notice delivered upon such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Administrative Agent), such prepayment to be made by (x) payment of the principal amount to be prepaid, (y) payment of accrued interest and fees thereon to the date fixed for prepayment and (z) in the case of any LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, CAD CDOR Loans or Swing Loans, payment of any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.12 hereof. A notice of prepayment delivered by a Borrower may state that the prepayment contemplated thereby is subject to the effectiveness or funding of other credit facilities, the completion of any debt or equity offering or the completion of any other corporate transaction or event that will provide the proceeds for such repayment or otherwise result in such prepayment being required hereunder.

(b) Mandatory. (i) Each Borrower shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole or in part pursuant to Section 1.13 hereof, prepay its own Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and, if necessary, prefund its own L/C Obligations by the aggregate amount, if any, necessary (after giving effect to such termination) to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced.

(ii) If at any time (A) for any reason other than fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Swing Loans, and the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding shall be in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, and (B) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of Swing Loans, and the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding shall be in excess of 105% of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the U.S. Borrower shall (1) immediately without notice or demand in the circumstances described in clause (A) and (2) within 3 Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent in the circumstances described in clause (B), prepay and/or cause the applicable Borrower to prepay in an aggregate amount equal to such excess over the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on such Obligations.

(iii) Prepayments under this Section 1.9(b) shall first to be applied to each prepaying Borrower’s applicable Revolving Loans and Swing Loans until paid in full, with any remaining balance to be held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as security for each Borrower’s Obligations owing with respect to such Borrower’s Letters of Credit. Unless the applicable Borrower otherwise directs, such prepayments of Loans under this Section 1.9(b) (A) in U.S. Dollars shall be applied first to Borrowings of U.S. Base Rate Loans made to such Borrower until payment in full thereof, with any remaining balance applied to LIBOR Loans made to such Borrower in the order in which each respective Interest Period expires, (B) in Euros shall be applied to EURIBOR Loans made to such Borrower in the order in which their Interest Periods expire, and (C) in Canadian Dollars shall be applied to Borrowings of CAD CDOR Loans made to such Borrower in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 1.9(b) shall be made by the payment of (x) the principal amount to be prepaid, (y) accrued interest and fees thereon to the date fixed for prepayment and (z) in the case of any LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans, CAD CDOR Loans or Swing Loans, any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.12 hereof. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof.

(c) Any amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans paid or prepaid before the Revolving Credit Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.

Section 1.10. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall pay, after written notice from the Administrative Agent sent at the direction of the Required Lenders (provided no such notice or Required Lender direction to send such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(j) or (k) or a Principal Payment Default (as defined below)), interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other amounts owed by such Borrower under the Loan Documents, from the date of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(j) or (k) or a Principal Payment Default, the date of such Event of Default) at a rate per annum equal to (the “Default Rate”):

(a) for any U.S. Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest based on the U.S. Base Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the U.S. Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(b) for any LIBOR Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Base Rate Loans plus the U.S. Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(c) for any EURIBOR Loan, (x) the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) thereafter, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for EURIBOR Loans plus EURIBOR for the applicable Interest Period;

(d) for any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the amounts due under Section 1.3 with respect to such Reimbursement Obligation;

(e) for any Letter of Credit, the sum of 2.0% plus the letter of credit fee due under Section 2.1 with respect to such Letter of Credit; and

(f) for any CAD CDOR Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Base Rate Loans plus the U.S. Base Rate (with such amount to be converted to and calculated on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loan and paid in U.S. Dollars) from time to time in effect.

If any principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due (a “Principal Payment Default”) such principal amount shall bear interest at the rates specified in subsections (a) through (f) above until paid in full. While any Event of Default exists, interest as adjusted under this Section 1.10 shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 1.11. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made to such Borrower by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay its Obligations in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans to each Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note or notes of such Borrower in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Note”), or Exhibit D-2 (in the case of its Swing Loans and referred to herein as a “Swing Note”), as applicable (the Revolving Notes and Swing Notes being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.12) be represented by one or more Notes of the relevant Borrower payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.12, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note to the relevant Borrower for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 1.12. Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise, but excluding any prepayment or conversion required pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof),

(b) any failure (other than due to a Lender failing to fund or convert a properly requested Loan when the applicable Borrower has met the conditions of Section 7.1 herein) by a Borrower to borrow or continue a LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan, or to convert a U.S. Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof (including any notice that is subsequently revoked), or

(c) any failure by a Borrower to make any payment of principal on any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise, including when specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.9 hereof),

then, upon the demand of such Lender, the relevant Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the relevant Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably deemed prime facie correct.

Section 1.13. Commitment Terminations. (a) Optional Revolving Credit Terminations. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice (which shall be received no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) and which notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of one or more events specified therein) to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than U.S.$10,000,000 and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of (x) the Original Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans then outstanding and (y) the Original Dollar Amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding and shall be accompanied by payments under Section 1.9(b) as applicable. Any termination of Revolving Credit Commitments that results in the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitments being below the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit and Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, to an amount equal to such reduced aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. A notice of commitment termination delivered by a Borrower may state that the prepayment contemplated thereby is subject to the effectiveness or funding of other credit facilities, the completion of any debt or equity offering or the completion of any other corporate transaction or event.

(b) Mandatory Commitment Terminations. Any then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date applicable thereto.

Section 1.14. Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) any Lender becomes entitled to compensation under Section 10.3 or 13.1 hereof and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 10.4 or Section 13.1 that eliminates its current entitlement to compensation under Section 10.3 or 13.1, as applicable, (b) any Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Person who has been deemed insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a receiver or conservator or like Person has been appointed for any such Person, (d) a Lender is a Non-Extending Lender or (e) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested under Section 13.13 hereof at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may, in addition to any other rights the Borrowers may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at the Borrowers’ expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par (plus any accrued and unpaid fees and interest), without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrowers, provided that (i) such assignment is not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority applicable to such Affected Lender, (ii) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 1.12 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned and any amounts due such Lender under Sections 10.3 and 13.1 hereof) other than such principal and accrued and unpaid fees and interest owing to it hereunder, (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from an entitlement to compensation under Section 10.3 or 13.1 hereof, the Eligible Assignee will be entitled to less compensation under such Section 10.3 or 13.1 than the Affected Lender, (iv) the assignment is entered into in accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 13.12 hereof (provided that any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrowers) and (v) in the case of any such assignment by a Non-Extending Lender, such assignee shall have consented to the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date extension.

Section 1.15. Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender at any time is a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a) during any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents and such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of determining “Required Lenders” (provided that the foregoing shall not permit an increase in, or extension of, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments or an extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to such Lender’s Loans or postponement of the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of such Lender’s Loans or other Obligations without such Lender’s consent);

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing

Section 1.16. Designated Borrowers.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein (i) the Administrative Agent and such Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lender so requires, and (ii) upon the reasonable request of any Lender, the Applicant Borrowers shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and any Applicant Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Applicant Borrower (the requirements in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, the “Designated Borrower Requirements”).

purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five (5) Business Days after such effective date.

(b) Appointment. Each Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 1.16 hereby irrevocably appoints the U.S. Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and agrees that (i) the U.S. Borrower may execute such documents on behalf of such Designated Borrower as the U.S. Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Designated Borrower shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed on its behalf, (ii) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed delivered to each Designated Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by the U.S. Borrower on behalf of each of the Loan Parties.

(c) Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Loans made to any Designated Borrower and performance in full of all other obligations of such Designated Borrower under this Agreement (and no Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Designated Borrower being outstanding) then, so long as at the time notice is given to such effect from the Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Agent shall give promptly upon its receipt of a request therefor from the U.S. Borrower) no Notice of Borrowing in respect of such Designated Borrower is outstanding, (x) such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Borrower” shall immediately terminate and such Subsidiary shall cease to have the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder and (y) the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Loans hereunder to such Designated Borrower.

Such facility fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each January, April, July and October in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the facility fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. For each issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, the Borrower that originally requested such Letter of Credit shall pay to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) for Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, at the rate per annum

(and computation thereof) specified in the fee letter dated July 15, 2021, between Bank of America, BofA Securities, Inc. and the U.S. Borrower (the “BofA Fee Letter”) and (ii) for Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer other than Bank of America, at the rate per annum (and computation thereof) specified in each applicable fee letter between the U.S. Borrower and such L/C Issuer, in each case of the average daily face amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit and payable as specified in each applicable fee letter. For each Letter of Credit, each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed) in effect during each day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit issued at such Borrower’s request that were outstanding during such quarter, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each January, April, July and October in each year and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. In the event of any conflict between the applicable fee letter between the U.S. Borrower and an L/C Issuer and the preceding sentence with respect to the times when such fronting fee shall be due and payable, the preceding sentence shall control. In addition, each Borrower shall pay to each applicable L/C Issuer for its own account such L/C Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, assignment, and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit issued at its request as established by such L/C Issuer from time to time. All fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be paid in the currency in which the relevant Letter of Credit is issued.

Section 3.1. Place and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by each Borrower to the Administrative Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent in Charlotte, North Carolina (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrowers), for the benefit of the Lender(s) or L/C Issuer entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in the case of Obligations denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, in the case of Obligations denominated in Canadian Dollars, or Euros, in the case of Obligations denominated in Euros, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, in each case free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of any amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due

to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (including, without limitation, Section 1.9(b) hereof), all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations of a Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the final maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of an Event of Default shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event including all costs and expenses of a character which such Borrower has agreed to pay the Administrative Agent under Section 13.15 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent);

(b) second, to the payment of the Swing Loans owed by such Borrower, both for principal and accrued but unpaid interest;

(c) third, to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees due from such Borrower under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(d) fourth, to the payment of principal on such Borrower’s Loans (other than Swing Loans), unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, together with amounts, to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any outstanding L/C Obligations of such Borrower pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof (until the Administrative Agent is holding an amount of cash equal to the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations), it being understood that the aggregate amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, the Lenders and L/C Issuer shall be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(e) fifth, to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations of such Borrower to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; and

(f) finally, to the relevant Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

When any Event of Default (other than those described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof with respect to any Borrower) has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrowers: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders, terminate the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof); (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Loans to be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind; (c) if so directed by the Required Lenders, demand that each Borrower immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount then available for drawing under each or any Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account hereunder, and each Borrower agrees to immediately make such payment and acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by such Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall have the right to require such Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit and (d) subject to Section 13.2(b) hereof, exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to any Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or this Section 9.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

Section 9.3. Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof with respect to any Borrower has occurred and is continuing, then (a) all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, (b) the obligation of the Lenders to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof shall immediately terminate, (c) each Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount then available for drawing under all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account hereunder, each Borrower acknowledging and agreeing that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by such Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent on their behalf, shall have the right to require such Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any draws or other demands for payment have been made under any of the Letters of Credit, and (d) subject to Section 13.2(b) hereof, the Administrative Agent may exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.4. Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit. (a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower hereunder is required under Section 1.9(b), Section 1.15, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 above, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the amount required to be so prepaid, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) All amounts prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued at the request of the Borrower that made such prepayment then or thereafter made by the applicable L/C Issuer, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Obligations of such Borrower. The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers. If and when requested by the relevant Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less; provided that the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from such Borrower to any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if any Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 1.9(b) and Section 1.15 hereof, if any, at the request of such Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to such Borrower amounts held in the Collateral Account so long as at the time of the release and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default exists and, in the case of Section 1.15 hereof, the Defaulting Lender Period with respect to the relevant Defaulting Lender has terminated, and (ii) if any Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof, so long as no Letters of Credit, Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or other Obligations remain outstanding, at the request of such Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to such Borrower any remaining amounts prepaid by such Borrower that are held in the Collateral Account.

SECTION 10. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 10.1. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any change in applicable law or regulation (and for purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, guidelines or directives in connection therewith (the “Xxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities (the “Basel III Rules”) are deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof), or in the interpretation thereof, in each case occurring after the date hereof, makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans. Each Borrower, at its election, shall either (i) prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans made to it, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (ii) in the case of a Domestic Borrower, convert the principal amount of the affected LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans from such Lender into U.S. Base Rate Loans from such Lender (including, to the extent necessary, by converting the currency of such Loans denominated in Euros into U.S. Dollars) or (iii) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, convert the principal amount of the affected CAD CDOR Loans from such Lender into U.S. Base Rate Loans from such Lender (and converting the currency of such Loans into U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount thereof), which U.S. Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.

Section 10.2. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan or a conversion of U.S. Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) deposits in the applicable currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (B) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 10.2(b) and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 10.2(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (C) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed U.S. Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the U.S. Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR component of the U.S. Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in determining the U.S. Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 10.2(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to LIBOR Loans, or Borrowing of, or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) (A) any outstanding affected LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to U.S. Base Rate Loans immediately and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents but solely with respect to Alternative Currencies and the Relevant Rates applicable thereto, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the U.S. Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the U.S. Borrower) that the U.S. Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the applicable administrator for the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency, or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency (including any forward- looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be

representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency,

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 10.2(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Alternative Currency in accordance with this Section 10.2 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the U.S. Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the U.S. Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; 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.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents but solely with respect to Dollars and the Relevant Rates applicable thereto:

(i)

On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S. Dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then- current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(ii)

(x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that solely in the event that the then-current Benchmark at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)

At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of U.S. Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of U.S. Base Rate.

(iv)

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

(v)

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 10.2(c).

(vi)

At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

As used in this Section 10.2:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then- current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

“Benchmark” means, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a replacement of the Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section 10.2(c) then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means:

(1)

For purposes of this Section 10.2(c)(i), the first alternative set forth below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(a)

the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month’s duration, 0.26161% (26.161 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months’ duration, 0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available Tenor of six-months’ duration, and 0.71513% (71.513 basis points) for an Available Tenor of twelve-months’ duration, or

(b)

the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points);

provided that, if initially LIBOR is replaced with the rate contained in clause (b) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable spread adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower and each Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Benchmark Replacement shall be as set forth in clause (a) above; and

(2)

For purposes of Section 10.2(c)(ii), the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then- prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by a Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;

provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than zero the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “U.S. Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be

appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark other than LIBOR, the occurrence of a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the then-current Benchmark or a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such administrator announcing or stating that all Available Tenors are or will no longer be representative, or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide any representative tenors of such Benchmark after such specific date.

“Daily Simple SOFR” with respect to any applicable determination date means the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) published on such date by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (or any successor source).

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

“Early Opt-in Election” means the occurrence of:

(1)

a determination by the Administrative Agent, or a notification by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the U.S. Borrower has made a determination, that U.S. Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in Section 10.2(c), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, and

(2)

the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders.

“Other Rate Early Opt-in” means the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower have elected to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement other than a SOFR-based rate pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 10.2(c)(ii) and paragraph (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

“SOFR Early Opt-in” means the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower have elected to replace LIBOR pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 10.2(c)(i) and paragraph (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

“Term SOFR” means, for the applicable corresponding tenor (or if any Available Tenor of a Benchmark does not correspond to an Available Tenor for the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the closest corresponding Available Tenor and if such Available Tenor corresponds equally to two Available Tenors of the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the corresponding tenor of the shorter duration shall be applied), the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

Section 10.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (and for purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act and the Basel III Rules are deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) to any duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, its Notes, or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans;

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any LIBOR Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Notes, its EURIBOR Loans, its CAD CDOR Loans, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein; or

(iii) shall subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or on its obligation to make Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) or such L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loans (or in the case of Taxes, any Loan), issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or such L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender or L/C Issuer to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the U.S. Borrower shall pay or cause the relevant Loan Party to pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost or reduction; provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender or L/C Issuer is generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrowers.

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Lender, any L/ C Issuer, or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (and for purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act and the Basel III Rules are deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or L/C Issuer to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), each Borrower shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such reduction; provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender or L/C Issuer is generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrowers.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive if reasonably determined. In determining such amount, subject to the provisos at the end of clauses (a) and (b) above, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date the Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower of its intention to claim compensation therefor and no Lender shall be entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this Section 10.3, unless such Lender is then generally claiming or generally will claim such amounts in similar circumstances under comparable credit facilities with similar provisions to this Section 10.3 to which it is a party with borrowers that are similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the relevant Borrower.

Section 10.4. Lending Offices. Each Lender and L/C Issuer may, at its option, elect to make its Loans and issue its Letters of Credit hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the Administration Questionnaire provided by it to the Administrative Agent (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder and for each Borrower hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Office and the Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in L/C Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or each L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Office. To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Section 10.3 hereof or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans under Section 10.2 hereof, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

Section 10.5. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CAD CDOR Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CAD CDOR Loan through the purchase of deposits in the applicable interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR, EURIBOR or CDOR for such Interest Period.

SECTION 11. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby appoints Bank of America as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders and the L/C Issuers expressly agree that the Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers in respect of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 11.2. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. The term “Lender” as used herein and in all other Loan Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender (if applicable).

Section 11.3. Action by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives from any Borrower a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers written notice thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Section 9.2. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders and L/C Issuers; provided that (a) in no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Loan Document, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking, continuing to take or refraining from taking any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender, an L/C Issuer, or a Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations.

Section 11.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5. Liability of Administrative Agent; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable (a) for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Event; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Loan Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Loan Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to

the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Borrowers, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any compliance certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Obligation as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or L/C Issuer, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrowers in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender and each L/C Issuer to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender or any L/C Issuer with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Section 11.6. Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Loan Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by any Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise, and with any amounts offset for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to be held by it for its own account and with any amounts offset for the benefit of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender to be remitted by the Administrative Agent to of for the account of such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.7. Resignation of Administrative Agent and Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the

consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrowers if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation then the resigning Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, on behalf of the Lenders, immediately appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which may be any Lender hereunder or, with the consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrowers if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents on the earlier of the date upon which the successor Administrative Agent assumes its duties and the day that is sixty (60) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 and all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent, but no successor Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable or responsible for any actions of its predecessor. If the Administrative Agent resigns and no successor is appointed, the rights and obligations of such Administrative Agent shall be automatically assumed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers shall be directed to make all payments due each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereunder directly to such Lender or L/C Issuer.

Section 11.8. L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and the documents associated therewith, and the Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Lender hereunder. Each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit or by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Loans made or to be made by the Swing Line Lender hereunder as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Section 11, included each such L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable. Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.7 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make U.S. Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 1.3. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make U.S.

Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.7. Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 11.9. Designation of Additional Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers,” “co-agents” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and neither the Lead Arrangers, syndication agents or co-agents named herein nor any such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have any additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result of being named herein or of being so designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may perform its duties hereunder through one or more of its branches (including its Canada branch), employees or attorneys-in-fact.

Section 11.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

SECTION 12. THE GUARANTEE.

Section 12.1. The Guarantee. To induce the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrowers by reason of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Loans and the Letters of Credit and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations of each other Borrower, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment by each other Borrower of principal of and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by each other Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case as and when

the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof or any other applicable Loan Document (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against the Canadian Borrower in a case under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), as amended, or the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), as amended, or the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada), as amended, or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against the Canadian Borrower in any such proceeding). In case of failure by any other Borrower punctually to pay any of its Obligations, the U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by such other Borrower.

Section 12.2. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Section 12 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of any other Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which any Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

(d) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against any Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property;

(e) any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of any Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of any Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Section 12.

The Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Section 12.3. Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12 shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have expired, and the principal of and interest on all Loans and all other amounts payable by all Borrowers under this Agreement and under all other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by any Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

Section 12.4. Subrogation. The U.S. Borrower agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full subsequent to the termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit. If any amount shall be paid to the U.S. Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) and (y) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 12.5. Waivers. With respect to its obligations under this Section 12, the U.S. Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person against any Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.

Section 12.6. Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against the U.S. Borrower under this Section 12 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render the U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12 void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

Section 12.7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any other Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such other Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration with respect to such other Borrower under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall nonetheless be payable by the U.S. Borrower hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

Section 12.8. Benefit to Guarantor. The Borrowers are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the other Borrowers has a direct impact on the success of the U.S. Borrower. The U.S. Borrower acknowledges that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.

Section 12.9. No Liability of Canadian Borrower for Other Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) the Canadian Borrower shall not be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of its assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any Obligations of the other Borrowers and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payment under any of the Loan Documents on behalf of, or with respect to, any Obligations of the other Borrowers.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 13.1. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or Loan Party) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers, shall timely pay or cause the relevant Loan Party to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(i) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 13.1(a), the Borrowers shall, or shall cause the relevant Loan Party to, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event such certificate reflects Indemnified Taxes that were paid by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent shall also deliver to the relevant Borrower the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Borrower.

(ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against 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 obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by 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, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 13.1, such Loan Party 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 any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting or withholding (including backup withholding) requirements or is entitled to the benefits of any applicable income tax treaty or convention. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 13.1(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the applicable Borrower is a Domestic Borrower:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or such U.S. Person, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty;

(2) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes) claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or such other Person) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable;

(4) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such

Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 13.1 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) if, pursuant to Section 13.1, any Lender becomes entitled to (I) receive from the Borrowers any payment of any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts or (II) have a Borrower pay to any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts, then, in each case, such Lender shall (at the request of the relevant Borrower) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable law of any jurisdiction that a Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such re-designation.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines in its sole discretion (which shall be exercised in good faith) that it has received a refund of any 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 13.1, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 13.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest (to the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to the Loan Party) or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental

Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) to the extent such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(h) Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligations under this Section 13.1 other than to the extent arising directly from or related directly to the Canadian Borrower or any other Obligations of the Canadian Borrower, and in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligations under this Section 13.1 arising from or related to the Domestic Borrowers or any Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.1 shall establish joint and several or several obligations of the Borrowers.

Section 13.2. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. (a) No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

(b) 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 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 Sections 9.2 and 9.3 hereof for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.16 hereof (subject to the terms of Section 13.7 hereof) or (iii) 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 bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (a) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section and (b) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 13.7, 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.

Section 13.3. Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal, or payment of fees under Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) hereof, falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount, or percentages on such fees, as the case may be, shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest or fees, as applicable.

Section 13.4. [Reserved].

Section 13.5. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

Section 13.6. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.12, 10.3, and 13.15 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.7. Sharing of Set-Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, on any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lender (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 13.7 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 1.15) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of a sale or participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 13.7 shall apply). For purposes of this Section 13.7, amounts owed to or recovered by an L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by such L/C Issuer as a Lender hereunder.

Section 13.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by email or telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its physical address, email address or (other than notices to a Borrower) telecopier number set forth below, or such other physical address, email address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers given by courier, by United States or Canadian certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by email.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopier (other than notices to the Borrowers) or email, when such telecopy or email is transmitted to the telecopier number or email address specified in this Section 13.8 or in the relevant Administrative Questionnaire and, in the case of a telecopy, a confirmation of such telecopy has been received by the sender, (ii) if given by mail, 5 days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section 13.8 or in the relevant Administrative Questionnaire; provided that any notice given pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be effective only upon receipt.

EACH PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF A PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR A PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of a Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through a Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent Party or any of its Related Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court with competent jurisdiction.

The Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Notice of Borrowings and Applications) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The U.S. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower, except to the extent such losses, costs, expenses and liabilities arise from any such Person’s (or any of its Related Persons’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court with competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 13.9. Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Borrowers and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as

if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor the Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Section 13.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Except to the extent provided in Section 8.9 hereof, the Borrowers may not assign any of their rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of all of the Lenders and, with respect to any Letter of Credit or the Application therefor, the applicable L/C Issuer. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 13.12.

Section 13.11. Participants. Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations and/or Revolving Credit Commitments held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons; provided that (a) no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 13.11, and (c) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that the granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest. Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 1.12, Section 10.3 and Section 13.1 hereof (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections (and the compliance of such participant therewith as if it were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.12 hereof) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 13.1(e) hereof shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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 such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.11, no such participation shall be made to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons), or a Defaulting Lender or a Person that would be a Defaulting Lender if it were a Lender.

101

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation from any Lender that is a Farm Credit Lender in the minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 on or after the Closing Date, (ii) is, by written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (iii) receives the prior written consent of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Voting Participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action, in each case, in lieu of the vote of the selling Lender; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to fund any portion of its participation when required to do so and notice of such failure has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, then until such time as all amounts of its participation required to have been funded have been funded and notice of such funding has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting Participant’s participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant on Schedule 13.11 shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and without the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (A) state the full name of such Voting Participant, as well as all contact information required of an assignee, (B) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased, and (C) include such other information as may be required by the Administrative Agent. The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower within three Business Days of any termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation and shall promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent update or confirm there has been no change in the information set forth in Schedule 13.11 or delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification. Each Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided by a Lender identifying itself or its participant as a Farm Credit Lender without verification thereof and may also conclusively rely on the information set forth in Schedule 13.11 delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification or otherwise furnished pursuant to this paragraph and, unless and until notified thereof in writing by the selling Lender, may assume that there have been no changes in the identity of Voting Participants, the dollar amount of participations, the contact information of the participants or any other information furnished to any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph. The voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participants and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of a Voting Participant.

Section 13.12. Assignments. (a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

102

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of such “Effective Date”) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default described in Section 9.1(a), 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan, participation interest in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.12(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the applicable Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(a), 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) hereof has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate (engaged in the business of making commercial loans) of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Revolving Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; or

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Swing Loans (whether or not then outstanding).

103

The applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment if it shall have failed to respond to a request for consent within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written request for such consent from the Administrative Agent.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower or Affiliates. No such assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons).

(vii) No Prohibited Transaction. No such assignment shall be made if such assignment would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(viii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.12, no such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender or a Person that would be a Defaulting Lender if it were a Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.12(b) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 13.6 and 13.15 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.12 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.11 hereof.

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the

104

Loans owing by each Borrower to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.12 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided, further, that the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank or another similarly situated institution) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Swing Line Lender may terminate its commitments under the Swing Line. In the event of such termination of a Lender’s commitments under the Swing Line, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor Swing Line Lender hereunder (with such Lender’s consent); provided, however, that the failure of the Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of the Swing Line Lender. If the Swing Line Lender terminates its commitments under the Swing Line, the Swing Line Lender shall retain all of the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, the L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor L/C Issuer hereunder (with such Lender’s consent); provided, however, that the failure of the Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of the L/C Issuer. If the L/C Issuer resigns in such capacity, it shall retain all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer provided hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make U.S. Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof).

105

Section 13.13. Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing (with an executed copy thereof promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent if it is not otherwise a party thereto) and is signed by (a) the Borrowers, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, or the Swing Line Lender are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable; provided that:

(i) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall (A) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment, or extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date, of any Lender without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make or holds such Loan or Letter of Credit (or participate therein) hereunder;

(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definition of Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 13.13, change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, release the U.S. Borrower as a guarantor of the other Borrowers’ Obligations, or affect the number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(iii) the BofA Fee Letter may be amended or its provisions waived with only the consent of the U.S. Borrower and Bank of America; and

(iv) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement the Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, in each case, of a technical or immaterial nature so long as Required Lenders have not objected within five (5) Business Days following receipt of a copy thereof by the Lenders.

Section 13.14. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 13.15. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and of each Lead Arranger in connection with the preparation, due diligence, negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, which shall be limited to one counsel to the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, and of any special and local (but limited to one in any relevant jurisdiction) counsel to the Lenders required to be retained by the Lead Arrangers and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly situated Persons, taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction), whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lead Arranger, L/C Issuer, such Lender, or any such holder, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents

106

(including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) involving any Borrower as a debtor thereunder) or in connection with any work-out or restructuring in respect of the Obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligations under this Section 13.15(a) other than to the extent arising directly from or related directly to the Canadian Borrower or any other Obligations of the Canadian Borrower, and in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligations under this Section 13.15(a) arising from or related to the U.S. Borrower or any Obligations of the U.S. Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.15(a) shall establish joint and several or several obligations of the Borrowers.

(b) Each Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger and L/C Issuer, each Lender, and, and each of their Affiliates and successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, controlling Persons, consultants and other representatives (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel (which charges shall be limited charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees, taken together, and of any special and local (but limited to one in any relevant jurisdiction) counsel to the such Indemnitees required to be retained and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest among Indemnitees, one additional counsel for all similarly situated Persons, taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction) and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit or any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any liability under any Environmental Law, except, in each case, (i) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Persons’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court with competent jurisdiction, (ii) to the extent resulting from any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve the act or omission of a Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee solely against another Indemnitee, other than claims against the Lead Arrangers or Administrative Agent in its capacity in fulfilling its role as such or (iii) to the extent arising from a material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons of its obligations under this Agreement as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court with competent jurisdiction; provided, that in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligation under this clause (b) other than to the extent arising directly from or related directly to the Canadian Borrower or any other Obligations of the Canadian Borrower, and in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any obligations under this clause (b) arising from or related to the U.S. Borrower or any Obligations of the U.S. Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause (b) shall establish joint and several or several obligations of the Borrowers. Paragraph (b) of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

107

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Indemnitee’s Related Persons, assert, and each such Person hereby waives, any claim against any other such Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that this clause (c) shall not limit the indemnity obligations of any Borrower hereunder. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 13.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.16. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective affiliates, is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender, L/C Issuer, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of such Borrower to such Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13.17. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

Section 13.18. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

Section 13.19. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, it being understood that the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with legal, valid and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

108

Section 13.20. Excess Interest. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 13.20 shall govern and control, (b) no Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the relevant Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) no Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of any Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on such Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

(b) Canadian Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to (including for the account of) any Lender in an amount, or calculated at a rate, that would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under Section 1.4; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender that would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum amount permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such

109

amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments to make Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Canadian Borrower shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the Revolving Credit Commitments to make Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period during which such Revolving Credit Commitments are available and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

Section 13.21. Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times as any Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.

Section 13.22. Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or the L/C Issuers pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders and the L/C Issuers a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

Section 13.23. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. Dollars, to Euros or to Canadian Dollars (the “relevant currency”) is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of each Borrower in respect of any amount due in the relevant currency under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the Person entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Person receives such payment. If the amount of the relevant currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Person in the relevant currency, the relevant Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Person against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum of (a) the amount originally due to the relevant Person in the specified currency plus (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Person under Section 13.7 hereof, such Person agrees to remit such excess to the relevant Borrower. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references to a currency shall be deemed to refer to U.S. Dollars.

Section 13.24. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other action, proceeding or counterclaim between a Borrower and

110

an Indemnitee arising out of or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. The parties hereto agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to the applicable party shall be effective service of process against such party for any suit, action or proceeding relating to any such dispute. The parties hereto irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction any party hereto is or may be subject by suit upon judgment. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE L/C ISSUERS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

Section 13.25. USA Patriot Act; Beneficial Ownership Regulation; Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada). (a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or such L/C Issuer to identify each Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. The Borrower shall, promptly following any request therefor, provide information and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

(b) The Canadian Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Canadian Borrower and its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders, partners or other Persons in control of the Canadian Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Canadian Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including any supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

111

If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Canadian Borrower, or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Borrower, for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent shall:

(i) be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) provide each Lender with copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Borrower, or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of any Lender or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information that the Administrative Agent obtains from the Canadian Borrower, or any such authorized signatory, in doing so.

Section 13.26. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender subject to such disclosure, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender subject to such disclosure agrees to inform you promptly thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.26, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.26 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, or (iii) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (j) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or (k) to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided that only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection (j). For purposes of this Section 13.26, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses. The respective obligations of the

112

Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 13.26 shall survive, to the extent applicable to such Person, for a period of two years after the earliest of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, (y) any assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and (z) in the case of the Administrative Agent, its resignation or removal.

Section 13.27. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 13.28. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, such Borrower and its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties.

Section 13.29. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap or hedging 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 with respect

113

to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States) that 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.
