$250,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent in other Available Currencies) Private Shelf Facility

October 20, 2021

To	AIG Asset Management (U.S.), LLC (“AIG”)

To	such AIG Affiliates which become bound by

this Agreement as hereinafter provided

(each a “Purchaser” and collectively,

the “Purchasers”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), agrees with AIG and each of the Purchasers as follows:

1.	AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company may, from time to time, authorize the issue of its senior promissory notes (the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution thereof pursuant to Section 13) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent in other Available Currencies), to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Note so issued, no more than 15.5 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Note so issued, of no more than 15.5 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Note delivered pursuant to Section 2.5, to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment dates, (vi) the same interest payment periods, (vii) the same currency specification, and (viii) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.

2.	SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

2.1. Facility. AIG is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within the limits which may be authorized for purchase by AIG Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of AIG to consider such purchase of Notes is herein called the “Facility”. At any time the aggregate principal amount of Notes in Section 1, minus the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, all aggregate principal amounts of Notes and Accepted Notes shall be calculated in Dollars; with respect to any Notes denominated or Accepted Notes to be denominated in any Available Currency other than Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of Notes or Accepted Notes shall be used for such calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Facility Amount shall be increased by the principal amount of any outstanding Notes which are repaid or prepaid prior to the expiration of the Issuance Period (but in no event shall the Available Facility Amount exceed $250,000,000 at any time). NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF AIG TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF NOTES BY AIG AFFILIATES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER AIG NOR ANY AIG AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY AIG OR ANY AIG AFFILIATE.

2.2. Issuance Period. Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) October 20, 2026 (or if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next succeeding such day) and (ii) the thirtieth day after AIG shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to AIG, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period”.

2.3. Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to AIG by fax, email or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the currency (which shall be an Available Currency) of the Notes covered thereby, (ii) specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or its equivalent in another Available Currency) and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (iii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities and principal prepayment dates and amounts of the Notes covered thereby, (iv) specify the use of proceeds of such Notes, (v) specify whether interest payments are to be made quarterly or semi-annually, (vi) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10 days and not more than 30 days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (vii) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (viii) certify that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 are true in all material respects on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (ix) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing signed by the Company and shall be deemed made when received by AIG.

2.4. Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given AIG a Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2.3, AIG may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone, fax or e-mail, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as AIG may elect) interest rate quotes for the several currencies, principal amounts, maturities and principal prepayment schedules and interest payment periods (whether quarterly or semi-annually) of Notes specified in such Request for Purchase (each such interest rate quote provided in response to a Request for Purchase herein called a “Quotation”). Each Quotation shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Notes at which AIG or an AIG Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

2.5. Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window, an Authorized Officer of the Company may, subject to Section 2.6, elect to accept on behalf of the Company a Quotation as to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase (each such Note being herein called an “Accepted Note” and such acceptance being herein called an “Acceptance”). The day the Company notifies AIG of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any Quotation as to which AIG does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Notes hereunder shall be made based on any such expired Quotation. Subject to Section 2.6 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to an AIG Affiliate, and AIG agrees to cause the purchase by an AIG Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, which purchase price shall be paid in the currency in which such Notes are denominated. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, AIG and each AIG Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to AIG within three Business Days following the Company’s receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, AIG may at its election at any time prior to AIG’s receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.

2.6. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5, any Quotation provided pursuant to Section 2.4 shall expire if, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such Quotation shall have been notified to AIG in accordance with Section 2.5, (i) in the case of any Notes to be denominated in Dollars, the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, or (ii) in the case of Notes to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the markets for the relevant government securities (which in the case of the Euro, shall be the German Bund) or the Euro Mid-Swap or the spot and forward currency market, the financial futures market or the interest rate swap market shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading. No purchase or sale of Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired Quotation. If the Company thereafter notifies AIG of the Acceptance of any such Quotation, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and AIG shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this Section 2.6 are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

2.7. Fees.

(a) Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale, an amount (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) equal to:

(A) in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in Dollars, the product of (1) the amount determined by AIG to be the amount by which the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note exceeds the investment rate per annum on an alternative Dollar investment of the highest quality selected by AIG and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day from time to time fixed for the delayed delivery of such Accepted Note, (2) the principal amount of such Accepted Note, and (3) a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but excluding the date of such payment, and the denominator of which is 360; and

(B) in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the sum of (1) the product of (x) the amount by which the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note exceeds the arithmetic average of the Overnight Interest Rates on each day from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, (y) the principal amount of such Accepted Note, and (z) a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but excluding the date of such payment, and the denominator of which is 360 (in case of any Accepted Note denominated in Euros or Australian Dollars) or 365 (in the case of any Accepted Note denominated in British Pounds) and (2) the costs and expenses (if any) reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or its affiliates with respect to any interest rate, currency exchange or similar agreement entered into by the Purchaser or any such affiliate in connection with the delayed closing of such Accepted Notes.

In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. The Delayed Delivery Fee described in clause (B) above shall be paid in the currency in which the Accepted Notes are denominated. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with Section 3.2.

(b) Cancellation Fee. If, on or after the Acceptance Day, the Company at any time notifies AIG in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if AIG notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.5 or the penultimate sentence of Section 3.2 that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such

notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note no later than one Business Day after the Cancellation Date in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) equal to:

(A) in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in Dollars, the product of (1) the principal amount of such Accepted Note and (2) the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (y) the excess of the ask price (as determined by AIG) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by AIG) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (z) such bid price, with the foregoing bid and ask prices as reported on the Bridge\Telerate Service, or if such information ceases to be available on the Bridge\Telerate Service, any publicly available source of such market data selected by AIG, and rounded to the second decimal place; and

(B) in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the aggregate of all unwinding costs reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or its affiliates on positions executed by or on behalf of such Purchaser or such affiliates in connection with the proposed lending in such currency and setting the coupon in such currency, including replacement positions entered into for purposes of achieving short form hedge account treatment under FAS133, provided, however, that any gain realized upon the unwinding of any such positions shall be offset against any such unwinding costs. Such positions include (without limitation) currency and interest rate swaps, futures and forwards, government bond (including U.S. Treasury bond) xxxxxx and currency exchange contracts, all of which may be subject to substantial price volatility. Such costs may also include (without limitation) losses incurred by such Purchaser or its affiliates as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. All unwinding costs incurred by such Purchaser shall be determined by AIG or its affiliate in accordance with generally accepted financial practice.

In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

3.	CLOSING.

3.1. Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Akin Gump Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at such other place pursuant to the written directions of AIG to the Company, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. The entry into this Agreement by the parties hereto on the Execution Date and each Shelf Closing are hereafter sometimes referred to as a “Closing”.

3.2. Rescheduled Facility Closings. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in Section 3.1, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify AIG (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (a) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to AIG (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 4 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with Section 2.7(a) or (b) such closing is to be canceled. If a Rescheduled Closing Day is established in respect of Notes denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such Notes shall have the same maturity date, principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment dates as originally scheduled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the second preceding sentence, AIG (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless AIG shall have otherwise consented in writing.

4.	CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

The obligations of AIG to enter into this Agreement to make the Facility available to the Company is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Execution Date, of the conditions set forth in this Section 4 (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 4.5 and 4.8).

4.5. Purchase Permitted By Applicable Law, Etc.

On the date of such Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) not violate any applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date hereof.

8.2.

Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.

The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, any Series of Notes, in a principal amount of (a) $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Notes denominated in Dollars, (b) €1,000,000 or any integral multiple of €100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Notes denominated in Euros, (c) £1,000,000 or any integral multiple of £100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Notes denominated in British Pounds, and (d) A$1,000,000 or any integral multiple of A$100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Notes denominated in Australian Dollars, in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount, and, if due and payable pursuant to Section 8.9, the Swap Breakage Amount.

8.5.

Purchase of Notes.

The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least fifteen (15) Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.

“Applicable Percentage” means 0.50% (50 basis points).

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, the principal of such Non-Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Non-Swapped Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Implied Rate Australian Dollar Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note denominated in Australian Dollars, the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask-side yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City local time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PXAU” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace “Page PXAU” on Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the actively traded benchmark Australian Government bonds having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported are not ascertainable, the average of the ask-side yields for such securities as determined by Recognized Australian Government Bond Market Makers. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice, and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded benchmark Australian Government bonds with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal, and (2) the actively traded benchmark Australian Government bonds with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal.

Makers. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded gilt-edged security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the actively traded gilt-edged security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal.

“Implied Rate Dollar Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note denominated in Dollars, the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M.

In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding sentence, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.

“Implied Rate Euro Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note denominated in Euros, the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask-side yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City local time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the benchmark German Bund having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported are not ascertainable, the average of the ask-side yields as determined by Recognized German Bund Market Makers. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal.

The Reinvestment Yield will be rounded to that number of decimals as appears in the coupon for the applicable Non-Swapped Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Non-Swapped Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7, Section 8.8 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“New Swap Agreement” means any cross-currency swap agreement (which does not qualify as a Replacement Swap Agreement) pursuant to which the holder of a Swapped Note is to receive payment in Dollars and which is entered into in full or partial replacement of an Original

Swap Agreement as a result of such Original Swap Agreement having terminated for any reason. The terms of a New Swap Agreement with respect to any Swapped Note do not have to be identical to those of the Original Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note.

“Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (x) a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the original purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any affiliate thereof) in connection with the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the Company of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the purchaser of such Swapped Note is to receive payments from the counterparty thereunder in Dollars and which is more particularly described (i) on a schedule delivered to the Company prior to the applicable Closing or (ii) in a notice provided by such Purchaser to the Company prior to Closing (each a “Swap Description”), and, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Company hereby agrees to promptly provide written acknowledgment to such Purchaser of such Swap Description prior to the applicable Closing, (y) any Initial Swap Agreement that has been assumed (without any waiver, amendment, deletion or replacement of any material economic term or provision thereof) by a holder of a Swapped Note in connection with a transfer of such Swapped Note and (z) any Replacement Swap Agreement; and a “Replacement Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto with payment terms and provisions (other than a reduction in notional amount, if applicable) identical to those of the Initial Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the holder of such Swapped Note in full or partial replacement (by amendment, modification or otherwise) of such Initial Swap Agreement (or any subsequent Replacement Swap Agreement) in a notional amount not exceeding the outstanding principal amount of such Swapped Note following a non-scheduled partial prepayment or a partial repayment or purchase of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the Company (i) an updated schedule describing the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto or (ii) a copy of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

“Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

“Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the applicable Closing Date is subject to a Swap Agreement. A “Swapped Note” shall no longer be deemed a “Swapped Note” for so long as the related Swap Agreement ceases to be in force in respect thereof, unless, and until, a Replacement Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement is entered into with respect to such Note; provided that if there is any Note that is a Swapped Note outstanding as of the date on which either the Company has provided notice of prepayment or offer of prepayment of such Note pursuant to Section 8 or such Note has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, then such Note shall be deemed to be a Swapped Note until payment in full of the principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount (if any) and Swap Breakage Amount due with respect to such Note.

“Swapped Note Applicable Percentage” means 0.50% (50 basis points).

“Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the payment in Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled payment date, provided that if such Swap Agreement is not an Original Swap Agreement, then the “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” in respect of such Swapped Note shall not exceed the amount in Dollars which would have been due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement to which such holder was a party (or if such holder was never party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of such Swapped Note was a party), attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled payment date.

“Swapped Note Called Principal” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Swapped Note Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires, the amount obtained by discounting all Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments corresponding to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of such Swapped Note from their respective scheduled due dates to the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Swapped Note is payable) equal to the Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount.

“Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (i) the Swapped Note Applicable Percentage plus (ii) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M.

Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding sentence, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield will be rounded to that number of decimals as appears in the coupon for the applicable Swapped Note.

“Swapped Note Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payment with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount by (b) the number of years (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve thirty day months and calculated to two decimal places) that will elapse between the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the scheduled due date of such Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payment.

“Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount relating to any Swapped Note, the payments due to the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party which correspond to all payments of the Swapped Note Called Principal of such Swapped Note corresponding to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and interest on such Swapped Note Called Principal (other than that portion of the payment due under such Swap Agreement corresponding to the interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal to the Swapped Note Settlement Date) that would be due after the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount assuming that no payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal is made prior to its originally scheduled payment date, provided that if such Swapped Note Settlement Date is not a date on which an interest payment is due to be made under the terms of such Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Swapped Note Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7, Section 8.8 or Section 12.1.

“Swapped Note Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the date on which such Swapped Note Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.7 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

If a holder does not notify the Company as provided above, then the holder shall be deemed to have accepted such offer.

(b) Two Business Days prior to the prepayment date specified in the Company Notice, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes to be prepaid a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the prepayment date.

(b) On the prepayment date specified in the Disposition Prepayment Notice, the appropriate portion of unpaid principal amount of the Notes held by each holder of a Note, together with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, if due and payable pursuant to Section 8.9, the Swap Breakage Amount shall become due and payable.

8.9.

Swap Breakage.

(a) If any Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.7 or 8.8, or purchased pursuant to Section 8.5, or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 (each a “Swap Unwind Event”), then upon any such Swap Unwind Event (i) any resulting Swap Breakage Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company in Dollars no later than five Business Days after the date such holder has delivered the Swap Breakage Amount Notice with respect to such Swap Unwind Event and (ii) any resulting Swap Breakage Gain in connection therewith shall be forwarded to the Company by the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars no later than five Business Days after the date such holder shall have received payment in full of the principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount (if any) due hereunder with respect to such Swap Unwind Event. Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating its own Swap Breakage Amount in Dollars in connection with any Swap Unwind Event, and such calculations shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter be reported to the Company in writing and in reasonable detail (the “Swap Breakage Amount Notice”) and shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

(b) As used in this Section 8.9, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, the amount that is received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be referred to as the “Swap Breakage Gain”) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be referred to as the “Swap Breakage Loss”) by the holder of such Swapped Note in connection with a termination or amendment of its Swap Agreement resulting from a Swap Unwind Event, where:

(i) such Swap Breakage Amount shall be calculated upon the inclusion of an accelerated exchange and payment of principal amounts and associated accrued and unpaid interest, whereby in connection with and incorporated into the termination or amendment of the Swap Agreement and determination of the Swap Breakage Amount, all remaining associated principal payments otherwise scheduled through the natural duration of the Swap Agreement and associated accrued and unpaid interest shall be accelerated and made (in their respective applicable currencies) at the time of the settlement of such termination or amendment (or, in the case of a Swap Unwind Event resulting from a Swapped Note becoming or being declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as if such remaining associated principal payments and associated accrued and unpaid interest had been accelerated and made at the time of the settlement of such termination); and

(ii) the holder of such Swapped Note shall determine such Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA 1992 Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”) pursuant to which such holder entered into such Swap Agreement and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no transactions outstanding under such ISDA Master Agreement other than such Swap Agreement,

provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor-in-interest with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (x) the Swap Breakage Amount that would have been received or paid by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and (y) the Swap Breakage Amount actually received or paid by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party.

9.2.

Insurance.

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

(g) other Dispositions where:

(i)

in the good faith opinion of the Company, the Disposition is an exchange for consideration having a Fair Market Value at least equal to that of the property Disposed of and is in the best interest of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be;

(ii)

immediately after giving effect to such Disposition, no Event of Default would exist; and

(iii)

immediately after giving effect to such Disposition, the Disposition Value of all property that was the subject thereof in any four fiscal quarter period of the Company plus the Fair Market Value of any other property Disposed of during such four quarter period does not equal or exceed 20% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company;

provided that for purposes of clause (g)(iii) above there shall be excluded from any determination of the Fair Market Value or consideration receivable of property or assets disposed of in a Disposition if and to the extent that an amount equal to the net proceeds realized upon such Disposition are within 90 days after the consummation of such Disposition, applied by the Company to prepay or repay Indebtedness that ranks at least pari passu with the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company) so long as in connection with any such payment or prepayment of such Indebtedness, the Company shall, on or before the date of such payment or prepayment, prepay a Pro Rata Portion of each Note then outstanding as provided in Section 8.8.

10.8.

ERISA.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in a transaction which could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, or permit any Plan to:

(a) engage in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code);

(b) fail to comply with ERISA or any other applicable Laws; or

(c) incur any material “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), which, with respect to any event listed above, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.9.

Leverage Ratio.

The Company will not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters of the Company then last ended (in each case taken as one accounting period) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter; provided that, to the extent the Company consummates an acquisition permitted by this Agreement for aggregate cash consideration exceeding $150,000,000 (each, a “Material Acquisition”), the Company may elect, upon written notice to AIG and each holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor, which notice shall be provided no later than the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter in which the relevant Material Acquisition is consummated, to increase the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio permitted by this Section 10.9 to 3.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition is consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company following such Material Acquisition (each, a “Four Quarter Period”) (retroactive to the first day of such Four Quarter Period), and the interest rate applicable to the Notes shall increase by 0.50% per annum during the period from (and retroactive to) the first day of such Four Quarter Period until the earlier of (i) the last day of such fiscal quarter at the end of which the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters of the Company then ended did not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 (retroactive to such date) and (ii) the last day of such Four Quarter Period (each, a “Covenant Reset Date”) (such increase, the “Acquisition Spike”); provided further that, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio may be increased to 3.75 to 1.00 for a Four Quarter Period in connection with a Material Acquisition no more than three times. For the avoidance of doubt, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio may not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters of the Company then last ended (in each case taken as one accounting period) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter that ends after a Covenant Reset Date during a Four Quarter Period. If the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is increased for a Four Quarter Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, no corresponding increase in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio with respect to a subsequent Material Acquisition may occur until the completion of at least one full fiscal quarter following the last day of such Four Quarter Period. If an interest payment on any Notes is due after the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, but before the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of such last day has been calculated, then the Company shall pay an amount calculated as if the interest rate in effect on such last day had continued thereafter. If such calculation shows that there was a change in the interest rate on the Notes effective as of the first day following such last day, then the amount of interest payable by the Company on the next succeeding interest payment date in respect of such Notes shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, to the extent necessary to reflect the interest rate that should have been taken into account as of such first following day.

11.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

The Company

acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount and Swap Breakage Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

12.2.

Other Remedies.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

12.3.

Rescission.

At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.5.

Construction, Etc.

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

22.8.

Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(c) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

22.9.

Obligation to Make Payment in the Applicable Currency.

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in the Applicable Currency which is made to or for the account of any holder of Notes in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Company, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of

the Company under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of the Applicable Currency which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of the Applicable Currency that could be so purchased is less than the amount of the Applicable Currency originally due to such holder, the Company agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

22.10.

Determinations Involving Different Currencies.

In the event of any determination of the requisite percentage or the principal amount of any Notes of more than one currency, all Notes which are issued in a currency other than Dollars shall, for purposes of determining any such percentage or requisite principal amount, be deemed to have been converted into Dollars at the time that such determination is made at the exchange rate published in the Financial Times one Business Day prior to the date of determination.

22.11.

Divisions.

For all purposes under the Financing Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
