Interest on all Base Rate Advances calculated on the basis of the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on all other Advances shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days provided, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.

If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent shall apply payments, other than optional prepayments, (i) first, ratably among the Banks with respect to any principal and interest due in connection with Ratable Advances, (ii) second, after all amounts described in clause (i) have been satisfied, ratably to any other Obligations then due to the Banks. If such payment is received by the Administrative Agent (i) by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) in the case of payments in Dollars or (ii) at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in same day funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time) in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, such delivery to the Banks shall be made on the same day and if received thereafter shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of any Borrower held at Bank of America for each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by such Borrower as it becomes due hereunder.

2.5.9 Notes; Telephonic Notices; Designation of the Company. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record on the schedule attached to each of its Notes, or otherwise record in accordance with its usual practice, the date and amount of each of its Loans of the type evidenced by such Note; provided, however, that any failure to so record shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement or any Note. The Company hereby authorizes the Banks and the Administrative Agent to extend, continue and convert Advances and effect Rate Option selections based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Bank in good faith believes to be an authorized officer or an officer, employee or agent of the Company designated by an authorized officer. The Company agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from

the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Banks, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall govern absent manifest error.

2.5.10 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Bank of the contents of each Ratable Borrowing Notice, Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.4(c)), and payment notice received by it hereunder promptly and in any event (provided such items were timely received by the Administrative Agent from the Company) before the close of business on the same Business Day of receipt thereof (or, in the case of borrowing notices with respect to Base Rate Advances, within one (1) hour of receipt thereof). The Administrative Agent will notify each Bank of the interest rate applicable to each Term Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Bank prompt notice of each change in the Base Rate in respect of any outstanding Base Rate Advance.

2.5.11 Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Company or any Bank has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the applicable Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(a) if such Borrower failed to make such payment or if the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed), each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Bank in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; and

(b) if any Bank failed to make such payment or if the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount paid by such Bank (whether or not then owed), such Bank shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Bank’s Ratable Loan, included in the applicable Advance. If such Bank does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Company, and the Company shall

201174747_5

pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Advance. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Company may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or the Company with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.5.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.5.12 Cancellation. The Company may, at any time after the Effective Date, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Commitments in whole, or in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect. After giving effect to any reduction of the aggregate Commitments, if the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. All accrued commitment fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. Once the Commitments are reduced in accordance with this Section 2.5.12, they may not be increased.

2.5.13 Lending Offices. Each Bank may from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, change its Lending Office and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. Each Bank may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the Obligations of such Borrower.

2.6 Extension of Termination Date.

2.6.1 Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Banks) signed by a Responsible Officer not later than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary hereof (each, a “Loan Anniversary”), request that each Bank extend such Bank’s Termination Date for an additional one (1) year from the Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Termination Date”), provided that the Termination Date may not be extended beyond March 7, 2032.

2.6.2 Bank Elections to Extend. Each Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company’s request for an extension advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Bank agrees to such extension and each Bank that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Bank that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-

201174747_5

Extending Bank. The election of any Bank to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree.

2.6.3 Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Bank’s determination under this Section 2.6.3 no later than the date fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

2.6.4 Additional Commitment Banks. The Company shall have the right on or before the Existing Termination Date to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and add as “Banks” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Bank”) as provided in Section 3.7, each of which Additional Commitment Banks shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Bank is already a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

2.6.5 Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Majority Banks (which for this purpose may include any Additional Commitment Bank) have agreed so to extend their Termination Date, then, the Existing Termination Date of each Bank extending its Commitment and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended to the date falling one (1) year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and, as of the Existing Termination Date, each Additional Commitment Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.6 Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.6.6 shall not be effective with respect to any Bank (unless otherwise agreed by such Bank) unless:

(a) no Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;

(b) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies to any representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(c) since the date of the financial statements most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.1.1, there has not occurred a material adverse change in the business, assets, liabilities, operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except events or circumstances disclosed in reports filed by the Company during the period from May 31, 2024 to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 13 of

201174747_5

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, copies of which have been furnished to the Banks prior to the date hereof (including by posting on the website of the SEC at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx); and

(d) on the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Bank, the Company shall repay to each such Non-Extending Bank any Loans at the time owing to it (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4) and such Non-Extending Bank’s Commitments shall be terminated.

2.6.7 Updated Schedule 2. Promptly after each such extension, the Administrative Agent shall prepare and deliver to each remaining Bank an updated Schedule 2 to this Agreement, listing the Banks, Commitments and Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such extension.

2.6.8 Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.6 shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.2 to the contrary.

2.7 Increase in Commitments.

2.7.1 Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $1,000,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Banks).

2.7.2 Elections to Increase. Each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Bank not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

2.7.3 Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Banks. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Bank of the Banks’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders, the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Bank”) to become Banks pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

2.7.4 Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.7.4, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

201174747_5

2.7.5 Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (a) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date (except where any such representation or warranty is otherwise qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects and except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date), and (ii) no Default exists or would result therefrom and (b) (x) upon the reasonable request of any Additional Bank made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, the Company shall have provided to such Bank, and such Additional Bank 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 Act, in each case at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date and (y) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any Loan Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Bank that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Loan Party. The Borrowers shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section 2.7.5.

2.8 Defaulting Banks.

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

(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 8.2.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.1 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 12.1), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Swingline Lenders hereunder, third, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this

201174747_5

Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or Swingline Lenders against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Bank. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section 2.8.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(i) A Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.4.3 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to extent allocable to the Outstanding Amount of the Advances funded by it.

(ii) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.4.3 not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Swingline Advances that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iii) below, (y) pay to the Swingline Lenders the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iii) All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Swingline Advances shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitment. Subject to Section 3.7, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a

201174747_5

non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

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

2.9 Designated Borrowers.

2.9.1 The Company may at any time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Advances hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Bank) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Banks 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 required by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks in their respective reasonable discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Banks so require. Provided the Administrative Agent and each Bank consents (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) to the designation of an Applicant Borrower as a “Designated Borrower” hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Banks specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Banks agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Advances 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 Ratable Borrowing Notice may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five (5) Business Days after such effective date (unless the Banks agree to a shorter time period).

201174747_5

2.9.2 The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower shall be several in nature; provided that the Company shall guarantee the obligations of each Designated Borrower pursuant to a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M.

2.9.3 Each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.9 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Advances made by the Banks to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

2.10 The Swingline Advances.

2.10.1 The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.10, hereby agrees to make Advances in Euros (each such loan, a “Swingline Advance”) to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date applicable to such Swingline Lender; provided, however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swingline Advance, (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Advances made by such Swingline Lender shall not exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (iii) the Credit Exposure of any Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, (y) the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Advance to refinance any outstanding Swingline Advance, and (z) no Swingline Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Swingline Advance if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Advance may have, Fronting Exposure. Each Swingline Advance shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (x) Basic ESTR plus (y) the Applicable Margin. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Advance, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Advance.

2.10.2 Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent and the applicable European office of the Administrative Agent, which shall be given by a Swingline Advance Notice. Each such Swingline Advance Notice must be received by the applicable Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day on which the proposed Swingline Advance is to be made and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of the

201174747_5

equivalent of $250,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by any Swingline Lender of any Swingline Advance Notice, such Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Advance Notice and, if not, such Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof. Unless the applicable Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to 12:00 p.m. (London time) on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing (A) directing such Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Advance as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10.1, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Advance Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Advance available to the applicable Borrower.

2.10.3 Refinancing of Swingline Advances.

(a) Any Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swingline Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Bank make an Advance (in Euros) in an amount equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Ratable Borrowing Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Advances of applicable type, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. The applicable Swingline Lender shall furnish the Company and applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable loan notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such loan notice available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds for the account of such Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Lending Office for Euro-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the day specified in such loan notice, whereupon, in each case, subject to Section 2.10.3(b), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swingline Lender.

(b) If for any reason any Swingline Advance cannot be refinanced by such an Advance in accordance with Section 2.10.3(a), the request for Advances submitted by the applicable Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swingline Lender that each of the Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Advance and each Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.10.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

201174747_5

(c) If any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10.3 by the time specified in Section 2.10.3(a), such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (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 Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to Basic ESTR from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in the relevant Advance or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Swingline Lender submitted to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Bank’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the applicable Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay Swingline Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

2.10.4 Repayment of Participations.

(a) At any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Advance, if the applicable Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Advance, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(b) If any payment received by any Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Advance is required to be returned by such Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Article XII (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to such Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to Basic ESTR. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Banks under this clause (b) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.10.5 Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. Each Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swingline Advances made by such Swingline Lender. Until each Bank funds its Loan or risk participation pursuant to this

201174747_5

Section 2.10 to refinance such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Advance, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender.

2.10.6 Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. Each Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swingline Advances directly to the applicable Swingline Lender.

2.10.7 Swingline Reports. Each Swingline Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, on each Business Day that a Swingline Advance made by it is outstanding, and on each date that a Swingline Advance is made by it, a writing setting forth the outstanding principal amount, currency, borrowing date and Borrower of each such Swingline Advance.

2.10.8 Multiple Swing Line Lenders. If at any time there is more than one Swingline Lender hereunder, the applicable Borrower may, in its discretion, but subject to the limitations set forth herein, select which Swingline Lender is to provide any particular Swingline Advance.

2.11 Removal of Borrowers. The Company may, from time to time, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate any Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Advances or Loans payable by such Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Borrower on account of any Advances made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such termination of a Borrower’s status.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1 Taxes.

3.1.1 Any and all payments by any Loan Party on account of any obligation of any Loan Party to any Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay all Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

3.1.2 If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, then:

(a) If such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1), such Bank or the

201174747_5

Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(b) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions and withholdings; and

(c) the applicable Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

3.1.3 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) payable or paid by such Bank or Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Bank or Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Bank or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

3.1.4 Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Company of Indemnified Taxes, the Company shall furnish to each Bank or the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to such Bank or the Administrative Agent.

3.1.5 Without limiting the provisions of Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, each Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Company and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Company or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Company or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Bank to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Bank to the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1.7. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.1.5. The Company shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty (20) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to this Section 3.1.5; provided, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any amount attributable to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon receipt of such indemnity payment and upon the request of the Company, the Administrative Agent xxxxxx agrees to assign to the Company any rights for compensation against such Bank to the extent the Administrative Agent has been indemnified by the Company.

201174747_5

3.1.6 If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.1.6 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1.6, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.1.6 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

3.1.7 Any Bank 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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.1.7(a), 3.1.7(b) and 3.1.7(d) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code:

(a) any Bank that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

201174747_5

(b) any Bank that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company 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 Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (C) in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Company as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; (D) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(d) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by

201174747_5

applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.1.7(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and for purposes of this Section 3.1, the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.

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

3.2 Yield Protection. If, after the date hereof, because of the enactment of, or any change in, any Law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any interpretation thereof (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or applicable foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), which:

3.2.1 imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank in respect of Term Rate Advances (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Term Rate Advances), or

3.2.2 imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) to any Bank of making, funding or maintaining Term Rate Advances or reduces any amount receivable by any Bank in connection with loans, or requires any Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Bank, or

3.2.3 affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling any Bank and such Bank determines the amount of capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement or its obligation to make Loans hereunder or of commitments of this type,

then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Bank through the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Bank that portion of such increased expense incurred (including, in the case of Section 3.2.3, any reduction in the rate of return on capital to an amount below that which it could have achieved but for such law,

201174747_5

rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive and after taking into account such Bank’s policies as to capital or liquidity adequacy) or reduction in an amount received which such Bank determines (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Bank under agreements having similar provisions to this Section 3.2) is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bank fails to make a claim within ninety (90) days after it becomes, or ought reasonably to have become, aware of any event giving rise to a claim under this Section 3.2, then such Bank shall be entitled to make any claim under this Section 3.2 only in respect of any amounts due under this Section 3.2 that are attributable to the period following the 90th day preceding the day upon which the Bank makes such claim; provided that, if the change giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.3 Inability to Determine Rates.

3.3.1 If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 3.3.2 and the circumstances under Section 3.3.2(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (ii) 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 Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks 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 Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Banks described in clause (b) of this Section 3.3.1, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Majority Banks) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (a) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, or conversion to Term SOFR Loans, or Advance of, or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have

201174747_5

converted such request into a request for an Advance of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (b) (i) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately and (ii) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into an Advance of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Company (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

3.3.2 Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Majority Banks notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Banks, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Majority Banks (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Agreed 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

(b) the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Agreed 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 Agreed 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 Agreed Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(c) 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 Agreed Currency;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.3.2(a), (b) or (c) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for

201174747_5

an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this Section 3.3 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 Agreed 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 Agreed 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. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Majority Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Banks object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Bank 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 Company and the Banks reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Term Rate Advance occurs, whether made by the Company or by a Bank or other assignee in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 3.7, on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, automatic conversion or otherwise, or the Company requests a Term Rate Advance, or the continuation or conversion of an Advance as or to a Term Rate Advance, or the Company does not borrow, continue or convert such Term Rate Advance on the date specified by the Company except by reason of default by the Banks, the Company will indemnify each Bank for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Term Rate Advance.

201174747_5

3.5 [Reserved].

3.6 Bank Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Bank shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Term Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Company to such Bank under Section 3.1 or 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Rate Option under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not prohibited by applicable legal and regulatory restrictions and not disadvantageous to such Bank as determined in its sole discretion. Each Bank shall deliver to the Company through the Administrative Agent a written statement of such Bank as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4, simultaneously with making a request for payment under said Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Bank determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Term Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Bank funded its Term Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Rate Option for such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Company of the written statement. The Obligations of the Company under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.7 Removal of Banks. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or continue any Loans as, or convert Loans to, Ratable Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or (iii) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Company may elect to remove such Bank as a Bank hereunder or, at Company’s sole expense, to require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 13.1), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, that (A) the Company notifies such Bank through the Administrative Agent of such election at least five (5) Business Days before any date fixed for a borrowing, (B) (x) in the case of a removal, the Company promptly repays all outstanding Obligations to such removed Bank or (y) in the case of an assignment and delegation, such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and other Obligations payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) no Default or Unmatured Default exists. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a notice of removal of a Bank in accordance herewith, the Commitment of such Bank shall terminate. Subject to Section 10.6.2, nothing in this Section 3.7 shall limit Company’s right to recover from a Defaulting Bank any Borrower’s loss, liability, expense or damage caused by such Defaulting Bank’s failure to perform its funding obligations under this Agreement.

201174747_5

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Banks that:

5.1 Corporate Existence. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (c) is duly qualified and licensed under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its conduct of business requires such qualification or license; except in each case referred to in clause (a) (with respect to good standing), (b) or (c) to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Borrower has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its Obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of its Obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding Obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles relating to the availability of specific performance as a remedy.

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by each Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will (a) violate any Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Borrower, (b) violate such Borrower’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, or (c) contravene or constitute a default under the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Borrower is a party or is

201174747_5

subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the property of such Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (c), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against each Borrower of, any of the Loan Documents.

5.4 Financial Statements. The May 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company and Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the Banks were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.

5.5 Taxes. The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal and state income tax returns and all other material United States, state and foreign tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes shown on such filed returns and all other material taxes or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided or the failure of which to file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.1.6 Such other information (including non-financial information) as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1.1 through 6.1.4 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Company posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Company’s principal website on the Internet; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Company’s

201174747_5

behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided, that: the Company shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Bank that requests the Company to deliver such paper copies if a written request to deliver paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Bank. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Company with any such request for delivery, and each Bank shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

The Company hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Banks shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Banks to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information (as defined in Section 10.11), they shall be treated as set forth in such Section 10.11); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”.

Adverse Effect; provided that the Company may liquidate or dissolve certain Subsidiaries based on tax restructurings; provided, further, that the Company may liquidate, merge out of existence or dissolve any Subsidiary into the Company or any other Subsidiary. The Company will not, and will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business carried on by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof or such other lines of business as are reasonably related thereto or similar or complementary thereto or are reasonable extensions thereof.

6.5 Taxes. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies upon it or its income, profits or property, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside or to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6 [Reserved].

6.7 Compliance with Laws. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject where noncompliance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The use of such permits and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries will not infringe, to the knowledge of the Company, on the intellectual property rights of any Person, except where such infringement would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.9 Inspection. Subject to Section 10.11 hereof, the Company will, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to, permit the Administrative Agent or any Bank, by their respective representatives and agents, to inspect any of the properties, corporate books and financial records of the Company and each Material Subsidiary, to examine and, to the extent reasonable, make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of the Company and each Material Subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and each Material Subsidiary with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers having direct knowledge or responsibility of the subject matter; provided that such inspections or examinations will be made at a reasonable time during normal business hours with due regard for, and minimal disruption of, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and will not (a) be at the expense

6.11 Sale of Assets. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Material Subsidiary to sell, assign (other than a collateral assignment intended for security), transfer or otherwise Dispose of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided that this Section 6.11 shall not restrict the Company’s or any Material Subsidiary’s ability to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise Dispose of any assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary, as the case may be.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.5 or 7.6 occurs, the obligations of the Banks to make Loans to the Borrowers hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of the Borrowers shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank.

If, within fourteen (14) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments of the Banks as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 or 7.10) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Majority Banks (in their sole discretion) shall so direct the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Amendments and Waivers.

8.2.1 No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Majority Banks and the Company and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific

201174747_5

instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.1 without the written consent of each Bank;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Bank (except reinstatement of any Commitment in accordance with Section 8.1) without the written consent of such Bank;

(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Banks (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby;

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or change the manner of computation of any financial ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Rate, as the case may be, that would result in a reduction of any interest rate on any Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby;

(e) change Section 2.5.8 or Section 12.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Bank;

(f) release the Company from its obligations under the Company Guaranty Agreement (other than in accordance with the terms thereof) without the written consent of each Bank; or

(g) change any provision of this Section 8.2.1 or the definition of “Majority Banks” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank;

provided, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lenders in addition to the Banks required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and provided, further, that the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all

201174747_5

Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

8.2.2 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary (except to the extent any change would require the consent of each Bank or each affected Bank under clauses (a) through (g) of Section 8.2.1 above), this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended: (i) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) in accordance with Section 2.7 in accordance with any increase in the Commitments of any Bank and to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between the Loans or other loans and any Commitments or other commitments in connection therewith; (iii) in accordance with Section 2.6 to effectuate an extension to the Termination Date of any Bank and to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between the Loans and any Commitments in connection therewith; (iv) in accordance with Section 10.8.2 in connection with a change in Agreement Accounting Principles or the application thereof; (v) in accordance with Sections 2.9 or 2.11, as applicable, to modify any existing definitions or terms or incorporate any additional definitions or terms related, incidental or complementary to the designation of any Designated Borrower or the termination of a Borrower’s status as such; or (vi) to replace any Relevant Rate, and reflect any Conforming Changes, pursuant to Section 3.3; in each case, with the consent of the Administrative Agent but without the consent of any Bank (except as expressly provided in Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 2.11, 3.3, or 10.8.2, as applicable).

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Banks or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Banks and the Administrative Agent required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Banks until the Obligations have been paid in full.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default at the time of any Loan or Commitment, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Banks in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.

The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Bank.

10.6.2 Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person, each Bank and their respective Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);

201174747_5

provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (a) the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of the Loan Documents or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, (b) a dispute among the Indemnitees not arising from a Default (other than a dispute involving a claim against an Indemnitee for its acts or omissions in its capacity as an arranger, bookrunner, agent or similar role in respect of the credit facility evidenced by the Agreement), except with respect to this clause (b), to the extent such acts or omissions are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have constituted the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of the Loan Documents or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in such capacity or (c) such Indemnitee’s or any of its Affiliates’ material breach of the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks, electronic telecommunications, or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. No Indemnitee or any other party herein shall have any liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date); provided, that nothing in this Section 10.6 shall limit the Company’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. All amounts due under this Section 10.6 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.6 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.6.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Banks shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

201174747_5

Section 10.11 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company; provided that such source has not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or applicable Bank, violated any confidentiality obligations to the Company and provided, further, if the Administrative Agent or any Bank obtains Information from a source it later learns has violated confidentiality obligations to the Company in providing such Information, it shall maintain the confidentiality of such Information, or (k) to the extent required by a potential or actual insurer or reinsurer in connection with providing insurance, reinsurance or credit risk mitigation coverage under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement, but not the Company’s name, logo or other identifying marks or information without the Company’s express consent, to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Banks in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.11 shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any information within the scope of this confidentiality provision to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a “Regulatory Authority”) to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this Section 10.11 shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority.

10.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) constitute arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Banks and other agents party hereto, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each of the other agents party hereto is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Company or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent, any Bank nor any other agent party hereto has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any other agent party hereto has advised or is currently advising the Company or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent, any Bank nor any other agent party hereto has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, each Bank and the other agents party hereto and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any such Bank nor any such other agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) each of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the other agents party hereto has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Banks and each other

201174747_5

agent party hereto with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty relating to this Agreement.

10.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Bank that is subject hereto and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with such Act.

10.18 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. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties 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 nor any Swingline 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 and/or any Swingline 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. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

201174747_5

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Swingline 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 or any Swingline Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent and Swingline Lenders 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 and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, 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.

10.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Bank 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 Bank 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:

10.19.1 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 Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

(b) 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

201174747_5

(c) 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.

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

10.20.1 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 Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

10.20.2 As used in this Section 10.20, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

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

201174747_5

“Default Right” has the meaning specified in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

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

10.21 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Bank from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Bank in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Bank hereby irrevocably, subject to Section 11.9, appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency

201174747_5

doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The motivations of the Administrative Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers.

11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Bank or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof.

11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

11.4.1 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly

201174747_5

required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

11.4.2 For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

11.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

11.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Bank acknowledges that no Administrative Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other

201174747_5

information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent-Related Person. Each Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans, and not for the purposes of (A) purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument or (B) investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers, and each Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws. Each Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans.

11.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Administrative Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 11.7 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

11.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower and its Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under

201174747_5

no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

11.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

11.9.1 The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks and the Company. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Company at all times other than during the existence of a Default (which consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 10.6 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Xxxxx appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

11.9.2 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall also constitute its resignation as a Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Advances made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Banks to fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Advances pursuant to Section 2.10. Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Bank other than a Defaulting Bank), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Swingline Lender and (b) such retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Document.

11.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, 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

201174747_5

whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

11.10.1 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.6 allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.6.

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

11.11 Other Agents; Joint Lead Arrangers. None of the Persons identified in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent,” “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Joint Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

11.12 Certain ERISA Matters.

11.12.1 Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(a) such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into,

201174747_5

participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

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

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

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

11.12.2 In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (a) in the immediately preceding clause 11.12.1 is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (d) in the immediately preceding clause 11.12.1, such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

11.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Bank (such Bank, the “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Company at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each

201174747_5

day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by 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. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

ARTICLE XII
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if the any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs and is continuing, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to such Borrower, any such notice being waived by such Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (b) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Bank, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans or the participations in Swingline Advances held by it in a greater proportion than that received by any other Bank (except as specifically contemplated by the terms of this Agreement), such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans and subparticipations in Swingline Advances held by the other Banks so that after such purchase each Bank will hold its ratable proportion of Loans and other amounts owing them. If any Bank, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to set off, such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Banks share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further

201174747_5

adjustments shall be made. Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Borrower other than the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 12.2 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 Bank), (y) any payment to a Swingline Lender in respect of Advances made by it or (z) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Advances or Swingline Borrowing participations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant (other than to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

ARTICLE XIII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns.

13.1.1 The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.2 or (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.4 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.1.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.1.2 Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (a)(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank, no minimum amount need be assigned and (ii) in any case not described in subsection (c)(i) of this Section 13.1.2 the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this

201174747_5

Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (c) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (c)(ii) of this Section 13.1.2 and, in addition (i) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (A) a payment or bankruptcy Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (B) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank; (d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment (the assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent); (e) no such assignment shall be made to the Company or any of Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries; (f) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (f); and (g) no such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons). In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of the foregoing sentence, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.1.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder, if not already a party hereto, shall become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 10.6

201174747_5

with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in accordance with Section 13.1.4.

13.1.3 The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Bank as a Defaulting Bank. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.1.4 Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons, a Defaulting Bank or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.1.5, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4, and shall be bound by the obligations set forth in Section 3.6, to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Bank.

13.1.5 A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.4 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is

201174747_5

made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 3.1.7 as though it were a Bank.

13.1.6 Each Bank 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 Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under 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 Bank 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.

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

13.1.8 As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

“Eligible Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an assignee under Section 13.1.2(c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 13.1.2(c)).

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
