Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Alternate Base Rate Advance into a Term SOFR Advance. Subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4, the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Term SOFR Advance into an Alternate Base Rate Advance. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each (x) conversion of an Alternate Base Rate Advance into a Term SOFR Advance or the continuation of a Term SOFR Advance as a new Term SOFR Advance or a Eurocurrency Advance as a new Eurocurrency Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) RFR Business Days (or in the case of a Eurocurrency Advance, at least three (3) Business Days) prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation and (y) conversion of a Term SOFR Advance into an Alternate Base Rate Advance, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the requested conversion, in each case specifying:

(a) the requested date of such conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day;

(b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(c) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall end on or prior to the latest Facility Termination Date.

2.10. Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Alternate Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Term SOFR Advance into an Alternate Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Term SOFR Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Each Term SOFR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Term SOFR Rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Term SOFR Advance based upon the applicable Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Eurocurrency Rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance based upon the applicable Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. Each ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to ▇▇▇▇▇ for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as an Alternate Base Rate Advance or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate or ▇▇▇▇▇, as applicable. No Interest Period may end after the latest Facility Termination Date.

2.11. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8 or 2.9, no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Advance (except with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders) when any Default has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.2, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (a) the overdue amount of each Term SOFR Advance and each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, (b) the overdue amount of each Alternate Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum and (c) the overdue amount of each ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to ▇▇▇▇▇ in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum; provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.12. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency) shall be made by the applicable Borrower, without setoff, deduction (except as provided in, and subject to, Section 3.5) or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due in Dollars and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders entitled to such payments. All payments of principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency shall be made by the applicable Borrower, without setoff, deduction (except as provided in, and subject to, Section 3.5) or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency, by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due in the applicable Committed Currency and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders entitled to such payments. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of each Borrower maintained with Citibank for each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by such Borrower as it becomes due hereunder.

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

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

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

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit A (including any amendment, modification, renewal or replacement thereof, a “Note”). In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of any Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Note, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note, each Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

2.14. Telephonic Notices. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent may extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of a Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent demonstrable error.

2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. (a) Interest accrued on each Alternate Base Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, on any date on which an Alternate Base Rate Advance is prepaid (with respect to the principal so prepaid), whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Alternate Base Rate Advance converted into a Term SOFR Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Term SOFR Advance and each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Term SOFR Advance or the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid (with respect to the principal so prepaid), whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Term SOFR Advance and each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on each ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each month, on any date on which the ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance is prepaid (with respect to the principal so prepaid), whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest with respect to Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans and facility fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest with respect to Alternate Base Rate Advances and ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances shall be calculated for the actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is made in full and received prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

(b) With respect to any Term SOFR Advances and ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, 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 Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

2.16. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the Term SOFR Rate applicable to each Term SOFR Advance and the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance, in each case, promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time, which Lending Installation may include any Affiliate of such Lender or any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender or such Affiliate. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan, or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Loans denominated in Committed Currencies for such day for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.19. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower Representative may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year prior to the latest Facility Termination Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Aggregate Commitment be increased by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least thirty (30) days prior to the latest scheduled Facility Termination Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $4,800,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower Representative for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV shall be satisfied.

(b) The Borrower Representative may, but shall not be obligated to, offer the increase to (a) its existing Lenders and/or (b) Eligible Assignees. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as have been identified by the Borrower Representative of a request by the Borrower Representative for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders or Eligible Assignees wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to participate in the Commitment Increase, which shall be no later than 15 days after the date of such notice (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) (the “Commitment Date”); provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or more. Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. Any Lender that fails to provide timely notice of its agreement to participate in the requested Commitment Increase shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. If Increasing Lenders and Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments or participate in the Commitment Increase by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Increasing Lenders and such Eligible Assignees in such amounts (not in excess of the increase committed to by such Increasing Lender) as are agreed by the Borrower Representative in consultation with the Administrative Agent.

(c) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19(b) (each such Eligible Assignee and each Eligible Assignee that shall become a party hereto in accordance with Section 2.22, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.19(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of each of the Loan Parties or the executive committee of such board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower Representative (which may be in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and its counsel;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.19(c), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower Representative, on or before 1:00 p.m. (New York time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Increase Date, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments.

2.20. Replacement of Lender. If (a) any Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to pay any Indemnified Taxes or make any additional payment to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, (b) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Alternate Base Rate Advances into, Term SOFR Advances or to make Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (d) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (any Lender so affected, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower Representative may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension or status as a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances at par and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.2 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrowers and/or the assignee shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such

Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

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

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

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.1 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a facility fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it (and the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

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

2.22. Extension of Facility Termination Date. (a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower Representative may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent may agree) and not later than 30 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Anniversary Date”), request that each Lender extend such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Facility Termination Date for an additional one year from the Facility Termination Date then in effect with respect to such Lender.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, 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 20 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to such Anniversary Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Facility Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender). The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 15 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the applicable Anniversary Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower Representative shall have the right on or before the applicable Anniversary Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (as an Assuming Lender), each of which Assuming Lenders shall have entered into an Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Assuming Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Anniversary Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Assuming Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement; Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Facility Termination Date and the additional Commitments of the Assuming Lenders shall be more than 50% of the Aggregate Commitment in effect immediately prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, then, effective as of such Anniversary Date, the Facility Termination Date of each extending Lender and of each Assuming Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Facility Termination Date in effect for such Lenders (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Facility Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Assuming Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however on the date of any request by the Borrower Representative for an extension of the Facility Termination Date and on the related Anniversary Date the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV shall be satisfied.

2.23. Benchmark Replacement Setting. (a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower Representative so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.23(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.23(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.23, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.23.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the EURIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Advance, if applicable, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Alternate Base Rate Advance or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) in the case of any request for any affected Eurocurrency Rate Advance or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advance, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii)(A) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, in each case, at the applicable Borrower’s election, shall either (I) be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Committed Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, if no election is made by such Borrower by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representive of such notice, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above; provided, further that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, if no election is made by such Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representive of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Loan, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4. During a Benchmark

Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

(f) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 2.23:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any currency, as applicable, (x) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 2.23(d).

“Benchmark” means, initially, (i) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, (ii) with respect to amounts denominated in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, and (iii) with respect to any amounts denominated in Euro, EURIBO Rate; provided that if a replacement of an initial or subsequent Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section 2.23, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event for any then-current Benchmark, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative as the replacement for such Benchmark giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for such Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents:

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of any then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any currency:

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

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any currency, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any currency, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to such Benchmark has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.23 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.23.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means (a) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of Dollars, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto. and (b) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of any currency other than Dollars, (1) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated, or calculated with respect to, or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated, or calculated with respect to, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

2.24. Borrower Representative. Aon North America, Inc. hereby (i) is designated and appointed by each Borrower as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) and (ii) accepts such appointment as the Borrower Representative, in each case, for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Notices, delivering certificates including Compliance Certificates (including U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates), giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants, but without relieving any Borrower of its obligations to pay and perform its Obligations) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law:

(a) subjects any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) in respect of its Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, or

(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances), or

(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost (other than Taxes) to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding, continuing, converting into or maintaining its Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans, held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making, funding, continuing, converting into or maintaining its Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans, ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans, ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans or Commitment, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender as provided in Section 3.6, the Parent or the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2. Changes in Capital or Liquidity Requirements. If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of such Lending Installation of such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which could have been achieved but for such Change in Law (after taking into account such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender as provided in Section 3.6, the Parent or the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any such reduction.

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Term SOFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or ▇▇▇▇▇ Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, interpretation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, if the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR or the Eurocurrency Base Rate cannot be determined by reference to any generally recognized financial information service or if the Required Lenders determine that (a) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances are not available or (b) the interest rate applicable to Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances does not accurately or fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances, as applicable, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances, as applicable, and require any affected (x) Term SOFR Advances to be repaid or converted to Alternate Base Rate Advances, (y) Eurocurrency Advances to be repaid or exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and converted to Alternate Base Rate Advances, and (z) ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances to be repaid, in each case subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

3.4. Funding Indemnification. If (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of a Term SOFR Advance or a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) a Borrower fails (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue a Term SOFR Advance or a Eurocurrency Advance or convert a Term SOFR Advance on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower or (c) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.20, the Parent or the applicable Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Advance but excluding loss of Applicable Margin.

3.5. Taxes. (a) Subject to applicable law, all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, under any other Loan Document hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. Subject to subsection (e) below and Section 3.6, if any Loan Party shall be required by law (as determined in its good faith discretion) to deduct any Tax from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) 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 3.5) such Lender or the 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, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after such payment is made.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that directly arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under this Agreement or any Note, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes or UK stamp duty, registration or other similar United Kingdom taxes, in each case imposed with respect to an assignment, transfer or novation (or other disposal) made (i) pursuant to Section 2.20), (ii) following a Default which is continuing, or (iii) in connection with a voluntary registration or filing where such registration or filing was not required to evidence, prove, maintain, enforce, or otherwise assert the rights of the Lender (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Loan Parties hereby agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrative Agent or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6. This paragraph (c) shall not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on the Administrative Agent and each Lender to the extent the Indemnified Taxes or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto are (i) compensated for by an increased payment under paragraph (a); or (ii) relates to a deduction or withholding from a payment under a Loan Document required by FATCA.

(d) (i) Any Lender or Administrative Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Administrative Agent, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or

reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not it 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 3.5(d)(ii)(A), 3.5(d)(ii)(B),3.5(d)(ii) (D) or the documentation required under Section 3.5(e) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, as applicable, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Administrative Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Administrative Agent.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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;

(ii)

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP;

(iii)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender 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 F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of any U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(iv)

to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e) In the case of an Advance by a Lender to a UK Borrower:

(i) A UK Treaty Lender and each Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled under such Advance to a UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax including submitting written applications, making and filing an application for relief under a double tax treaty and otherwise complying with the requirements of the relevant tax authority.

(ii) (A) A UK Treaty Lender in respect of an Advance to a UK Borrower which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme shall on or before the Effective Date indicate to the Administrative Agent that the scheme shall apply to a Loan to the UK Borrower under this Agreement (subject to the UK Borrower making the UK Borrower DTTP Filing) and provide the Administrative Agent with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence (and the Administrative Agent shall, without unreasonable delay, notify the relevant UK Borrower of the same); and

(B) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a Party after the day on which this Agreement is entered into which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme shall indicate to the Administrative Agent that the scheme shall apply to an Advance to a UK Borrower under this Agreement and provide the Administrative Agent with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption which it executes,

and having done so, that UK Treaty Lender shall, subject to Section 3.5(i)(ii), be under no obligation pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) above.

(f) If HM Revenue & Customs or any other Governmental Authority of the United Kingdom, the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because such Lender was not a UK Qualifying Lender, the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason not caused by or constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(f) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(g) A Lender that is a Lender on the Effective Date that is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (a)(ii) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” gives a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower by entering into the Agreement. In the case of an Advance to a UK Borrower, a UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.

(h) Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into or after the Effective Date shall indicate in Schedule 1 or in the Assumption Agreement or Assignment and Assumption that it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party which of the following categories it constitutes in respect of a UK Borrower:

(i) not a UK Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or

(iii) a UK Treaty Lender.

If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this paragraph (h) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party as if it was not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the relevant UK Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assumption Agreement or Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (h).

(i) HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme.

(i) If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.5(e)(ii) above, the UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing and shall promptly deliver a copy of that filing to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.

(ii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.5(e)(ii) above and: (a) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender, or (b) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but: (1) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs, or (2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, or (3) HM Revenue & Customs has given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired, and in each of cases (a) and (b) (as applicable), the UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax.

(iii) If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.5(e) (ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment or its participation in any Loan unless the UK Treaty Lender otherwise agrees.

(j) [reserved]

(k) 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 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (k) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (k), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (k) 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.

3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Loans to reduce any liability of the Loan Parties to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of demonstrable error. If any Lender fails to deliver such written statement in respect of claims made under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 within 180 days after the date on which such Lender becomes aware of the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim, and in respect of claims made under Section 3.5(a), (b) or (c), within 180 days after the date any amount is paid by such Lender or such Lender receives actual written notice of a proposed assessment, the Loan Parties shall have no obligation to reimburse, compensate or indemnify such Lender with respect to any such claim under this Article III for any period more than 180 days before the date on which such statement is delivered (except that, if such change, event or occurrence giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Determination of

amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower Representative of such written statement. The obligations of each party under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations under any Loan Document and termination of this Agreement. This Section 3.6 shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower Representative, the Parent or any other Person.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Parent represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1. Corporate Existence and Standing. Each Loan Party and each of its Significant Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or its equivalent, if any) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified and in good standing (or its equivalent, if any) and is duly authorized to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted or proposed to be conducted that requires such authorization or qualification, except where failure to be in such good standing (or its equivalent, if any) or so qualified or authorized would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power (or equivalent power with regard to any non-U.S. jurisdiction) and authority and legal right to execute and deliver each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings or other organizational action and such Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all the requirements of applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective properties except (i) if such requirement of statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (ii) where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the application of the proceeds of the Loans, or compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents will, or at the relevant time did, (a) violate any law, rule, regulation (including Regulation U), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Loan Party or such Loan Party’s Organization Documents, (b) violate the provisions of or require the approval or consent of any party to any indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Loan Party is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens permitted by the Loan Documents) in, of or on the Property of such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, or (c) require any consent of the stockholders of any Person (other than to the extent obtained and in full force and effect), in the case of each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or for any violation of, or failure to obtain an approval or consent required under, any such indenture, instrument or agreement that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4. Governmental Consents. No order, consent, approval, qualification, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of, any court, governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, any securities exchange or other Person is required to authorize in connection with the execution, delivery, consummation or performance of any of the Loan Documents or the application of the proceeds of the Loans, except for such orders, consents, approvals, qualifications, licenses, authorizations, or validations of, or filings, recordings or registrations, exemptions, or other actions that have already been taken, given or received or the failure of which to take, give or receive could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any foreign, federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding upon or applicable to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, in each case the consequence of which default or violation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5. Financial Statements. The Parent has heretofore made available to each of the Lenders (a) the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, and (b) the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries through June 30, 2026 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Each of the Financial Statements was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and fairly presents, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries at such dates and the consolidated results of their operations for the respective periods then ended (except, in the case of such unaudited statements, for normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

5.6. Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2025, as of the Effective Date, excluding the effect of any Disclosed Claims, there has not occurred any event, change, effect, development, state of facts, condition, circumstance or occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7. Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all United States federal, United Kingdom, Irish and other material Tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all Taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by such Loan Party or Subsidiary, except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or governmental investigation (including, without limitation, by the Federal Trade Commission) pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected (a) to have a Material Adverse Effect as of the Effective Date, except for Disclosed Claims or (b) to prevent or enjoin the making of any Credit Extensions under this Agreement.

5.9. ERISA. (a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither any Loan Party nor any member of the Controlled Group maintains, or is obligated to contribute to, any Multiemployer Plan or has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to any Multiemployer Plan. Each Plan complies in all material respects with its terms and with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, except if failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any member of the Controlled Group has, with respect to any Plan, failed to make any contribution or pay any amount required under Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of such Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any officer of a Loan Party, threatened claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Plan, any fiduciary thereof, or such Loan Party or any member of the Controlled Group with respect to a Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any member of the Controlled Group has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) As of the Effective Date, no Borrower is nor will be (1) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (2) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (3) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code; or (4) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary as of the Effective Date is, or has at any time in the six years prior to the Effective Date been, (i) an employer (for the purposes of Sections 38 to 51 of the Pensions Act 2004) of any occupational pension scheme which is not a money purchase scheme (as both such terms are defined in the Pension Schemes Act 1993), is not a Permitted UK Defined Benefit Pension Plan and is not a scheme within Section 38(1)(b) of the Pensions Act 2004 or (ii) “connected” with or an “associate” (as those terms are used in Sections 38 and 43 of the Pensions Act 2004) of such an employer (except in relation to any Permitted UK Defined Benefit Pension Plan). The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Permitted UK Defined Benefit Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Permitted UK Defined Benefit Pension Plan, in each case as of the date of the most recent financial statements prior to the Effective Date reflecting such amounts, except where any underfunding of the Permitted UK Defined Benefit Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) as of such date would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary has been issued with a contribution notice or financial support direction by the UK Pensions Regulator or received any warning notice from the UK Pensions Regulator relating to the issue of a contribution notice or financial support direction, in each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10. Regulations T, U and X. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of those assets of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other restriction hereunder. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary is engaged, principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending, or arranging for the extension of, credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in a manner which would violate, or result in a violation of, Regulation T, U, X or for carrying any Margin Stock or any other purpose that might cause any Advance to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X. Neither the making of any Advance hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

5.11. Investment Company. No Loan Party is, or after giving effect to any Advance will be required to be registered as, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.12. Ownership of Properties. As of the Effective Date, the Parent and its Subsidiaries have fee simple title to all of the Properties reflected in the Financial Statements as being owned by the Parent and its Subsidiaries, except for Properties sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business or as disclosed in the Disclosed Claims, since the date thereof, except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries own or possess rights to use all patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, trademarks and trade names necessary to continue to conduct their business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have any such rights would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no such patent or trademark has been declared invalid, been limited by order of any court or by agreement or is the subject of any infringement, interference or similar proceeding or challenge, except for invalidities, limitations, proceedings and challenges which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13. Environmental Laws. There are no claims, investigations, litigation, administrative proceedings, notices, requests for information, whether pending or, to the knowledge of any officer of a Loan Party, threatened, or judgments or orders asserting violations of applicable federal, state and local environmental, health and safety statutes, regulations, ordinances, codes, rules, orders, decrees, directives and standards (“Environmental Laws”) or alleging potential liability or responsibility under Environmental Laws relating to any toxic or hazardous waste, substance or chemical or any pollutant, contaminant, chemical or other substance defined or regulated pursuant to any Environmental Law, including, without limitation, asbestos, petroleum, crude oil or any fraction thereof (“Hazardous Materials”) asserted against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries which, in any case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary has caused or permitted any Hazardous Materials to be Released, either on or under real property, currently or formerly, legally or beneficially owned or operated by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary or on or under real property to which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries transported, arranged for the transport or disposal of, or disposed of Hazardous Materials, which Release would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Insurance. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries maintain, with insurance companies believed to be financially sound and reputable, insurance on their tangible Property in such amounts and covering such risks as is consistent with sound business practice.

5.15. Insurance Licenses. No material license, permit or authorization of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary to engage in the business of insurance or insurance-related activities is the subject of a proceeding for suspension or revocation, except where such suspension or revocation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.16. Disclosure. All material written information (other than projections, pro forma information (other than any historical information included therein), estimates, forecasts, and other forward-looking information (collectively, “Projections”), information of a general economic or industry specific nature and independent third-party generated industry information) heretofore furnished by the Parent or any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby does not, and all such information hereafter made available by the Parent or any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will not, at the time made available and when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstance under which such statements were or are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto; provided that any such supplement or update shall not cure a prior breach of representation and warranty) ; provided that such representation and warranty with respect to the Acquired Business prior to the Acquisition Closing Date is made to the Parent’s or a Borrower’s knowledge. All Projections, if any, that have been or will be prepared by the Parent or the Borrower and made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (solely to the extent such Projections in respect of the Acquired Business have been made by the Parent or the Borrower) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that the Parent or the Borrower believes are reasonable (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Parent’s or the Borrower’s control, and that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results may vary materially from such Projections).

5.17. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Parent has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance by the Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. The Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees and, to the knowledge of any officer of the Parent, the agents of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the Parent, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of any officer of the Parent, any of their respective directors, officers, or employees is a Sanctioned Person; other than to the extent this representation would result in a violation of Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96, as amended (or any implementing law or regulation in any member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom).

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS

So long as any Loan shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:

6.1. Financial Reporting. Each Loan Party will maintain, for itself and its Subsidiaries, a system of accounting designed to produce the financial statements required pursuant to this Section 6.1 in accordance with the Agreement Accounting Principles, and the Parent will furnish to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders):

The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary of the Parent to, use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions for general corporate purposes and the financing of transactions permitted hereunder. The Parent will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Advances to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U). No Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall directly, or to the knowledge of an officer of the Parent, indirectly use the proceeds of any Advance in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws. No Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall directly, or to the knowledge of an officer of the Parent, indirectly use the proceeds of any Advance for the purpose of financing any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person or a Person known by the Parent to be 50% or more owned by a Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except where such activities, business or transaction could be conducted legally by U.S. Persons generally.

6.3. Notice of Default. The Parent will give prompt (but in any case within ten (10) days) notice in writing to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) of the occurrence of (a) any Default or Unmatured Default that is continuing and (b) subject to Section 6.1(f), any other event or development, financial or other, relating specifically to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (and not of a general economic or political nature) which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.4. Conduct of Business. The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, (a) carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted, and will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than (i) businesses in the same fields of enterprise as now conducted by it and its Subsidiaries (including, on and after the Acquisition Closing Date, as is now conducted by the Target and its Subsidiaries) or (ii) businesses that are reasonably related or incidental thereto or that, in the judgment of its board of directors, are reasonably expected to materially enhance the other businesses in which it and its Subsidiaries are engaged, and (b) do all things necessary to remain duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent, if any) in its jurisdiction of organization and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where failure to be in such good standing (or the equivalent, if any) or so qualified or authorized would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.4 shall prohibit the dissolution or sale, transfer or other disposition of any Subsidiary that is not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

6.5. Taxes. The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay when due all material Taxes required to be paid by it, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside or nonpayment of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6. Insurance. The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, maintain with insurance companies believed to be financially sound and reputable insurance on all their tangible Property in such amounts and covering such risks as is consistent with sound business practice, and it will furnish to the Administrative Agent and any Lender upon reasonable written request, reasonably detailed information as to the insurance carried.

6.7. Compliance with Laws. The Parent 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, the failure to comply with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent will maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance by the Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions; other than to the extent this covenant would result in a violation of Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96, as amended (or any implementing law or regulation in any member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom).

6.8. Maintenance of Properties. The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its tangible Property in good repair, working order and condition, and make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.9. Inspection. The Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, by their respective representatives and agents, during normal business hours, to inspect any of the Property, corporate books and financial records of such Loan Party and each Subsidiary, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of such Loan Party and each Subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Loan Party and each Subsidiary with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers at such reasonable times and intervals as the Lenders may designate; provided that neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of extracts, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or its respective designated representative) is as reasonably determined by an officer of the Parent then prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, or any obligation or agreement binding on the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided, further, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of a Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, shall exercise such rights no more often than one (1) time during any calendar year at the expense of the Parent; provided, further, when a Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent, and each Lender may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Parent at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Parent will keep or cause to be kept, and cause each Subsidiary to keep or cause to be kept, appropriate records and books of account in which complete entries are to be made reflecting its and their business and financial transactions, sufficient to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Section 6.1.

6.10. Merger. The Parent will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, merge or consolidate with or into any other Person or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent, except that:

(a) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (other than a Borrower) may merge into, consolidate with or dispose of assets to any Loan Party or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party;

(iv) in the case of a merger or consolidation to which a Subsidiary is a party and to which a Loan Party is not a party or a disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary (other than to a Loan Party), the surviving corporation is a Subsidiary, and in any such case other than the Acquisition, prior to and after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) any Subsidiary may enter into a merger or consolidation as a means of effecting a disposition or acquisition which would not result in the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration. (a) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to any Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent or upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly waives.

(b) If, within ten (10) Business Days after (i) acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or (ii) termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default that has occurred and is continuing (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders, in their sole discretion, shall so direct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2. Amendments. No Loan Document, nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except that, subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower Representative may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:

(a) Extend the Facility Termination Date with respect to such Lender, compromise or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, or reduce the rate of interest or compromise or forgive payment of interest on any Loan, or reduce the amount of, or compromise or forgive payment of, any fee payable hereunder; provided that neither (x) a waiver of a Default or Unmatured Default nor (y) the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or (c), as applicable, shall constitute a waiver or amendment or reduction in the rate of interest under this clause (a);

(b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;

(d) Amend this Section 8.2 or Section 11.2;

(e) Permit any assignment by any Borrower of its Obligations or its rights hereunder (other than pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder);

(f) Postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or the date fixed for any payment of fees or other amounts due hereunder or subordinate the Obligations to any other Indebtedness or other obligations; or

(g) Release any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder (other than pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder).

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.2, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower Representative without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document or (iii) to cause such other Loan Documents to be consistent with this Agreement and, in each case, the impact of such amendment or waiver on the Lenders is de minimis.

8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders 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 Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension 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 Lenders 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 Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Parent, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Parent, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof other than the fee letter described in Section 10.10.

9.5. Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that each of the Arrangers shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.9 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

9.6. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Parent shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and reasonably documented attorneys’ fees and time charges of one primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole (which may be a single counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet), review, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents. The Parent also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(b) The Parent further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their partners, trustees, administrators, advisors, agents, directors, officers and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any

investigation, litigation or proceeding (whether in tort, contract, law or equity) or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (each, a “Proceeding”)) in each case, arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder, except to the extent that (i) they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (x) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification or (y) to arise from a material breach of the obligations of an Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) they arise from any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding against an Administrative Agent or Arranger acting pursuant to any Loan Document in its capacity as such or of any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnified Parties not arising from any act or omission by the Parent or any of its affiliates. It shall be a condition precedent to the foregoing indemnity obligations that each Indemnified Party seeking indemnity hereunder agree to return to the Parent amounts received when any of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence apply. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity will be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Parent, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided, however, that as to any Indemnified Party, such indemnity shall not be effective with respect to any litigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnified Party to the extent such litigation or proceeding results in an final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against such Indemnified Party. This Section 9.6 shall supersede any and all indemnification provisions entered into before the Effective Date among the Parent and the Administrative Agent, any Arrangers and any Lenders with respect to this facility. The obligations of the Parent under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This Section 9.6 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

9.7. Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars or any other Committed Currency (the “Judgment Currency”) into a different currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Judgment Currency with such Other Currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given (or such other rate as may be required by any applicable Law), for the purchase of the Judgment Currency, for delivery two Business Days thereafter.

9.8. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles.

9.9. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

9.10. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, in their capacities as such, on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender, in each case in their capacities as such, shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender, in their capacities as such, undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender, in their capacities as such, shall have any liability with respect to, and each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including use by unintended recipients of information distributed electronically as provided herein; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Parent of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnified Party against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages paid by such Indemnified Party to a third party.

9.11. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, and third party settlement providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, regulatory authority or similar body, in each case, purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, notify the Parent as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions no less restrictive than those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of their respective its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) to any swap, derivative or

other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization or (v) any insurers and/or risk protection providers, (g) with the consent of the Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party; provided that no disclosure shall be made to any Disqualified Lender. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with the administration or servicing of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any party hereto and its respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, members, partners, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, agents and advisors from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority. Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, including information received prior to the Effective Date, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Without limiting Section 9.4, each Loan Party agrees that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Loan Parties and each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such confidential information.

9.12. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that Citibank and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any Loan Party and its Affiliates.

9.13. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in

accordance with the Act, including, without limitation, for each Borrower or Designated Subsidiary that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to each Lender that so requests, a duly executed and completed Beneficial Ownership Certification. The Borrower Representative shall provide such information promptly upon the request of a Lender.

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1. Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Other than Sections 10.6 and 10.10, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.1 or 8.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Unmatured Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by any Loan Party or any Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

10.6. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower Representative unless a Default has occurred and is continuing (and otherwise in consultation with the Borrower Representative), to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000 with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Representative and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower Representative unless a Default has occurred and is continuing (and otherwise in consultation with the Borrower Representative), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Parent to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 9.6 and 9.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.7. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents and warrants that (1) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (2) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding

commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities law).

10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Parent) ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (ii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (A) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (B) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(f) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9. No Other Duties, etc. None of the Lenders (or affiliates of Lenders) identified in this Agreement as the “Syndication Agent” or “Arrangers” or “Joint Bookrunners” or “Documentation Agents” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in such identified capacity other than those (in the case of those who are Lenders) applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders (or affiliates of Lenders) shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders (and such affiliates) as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.7.

10.10. Fees. Aon NA agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by Aon NA, the Administrative Agent and such Arrangers pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated August 30, 2026, or as otherwise agreed in writing from time to time.

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

(i) such Lender 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 Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

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

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Section VI of PTE 84-14) that (I) is not ineligible pursuant to Section I(g) of PTE 84-14 and (II) has satisfied the requirements of Section I(k) of PTE 84-14, (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (f) of Section I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of sub-section (a) of Section I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

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

As used in this Section:

“PTE” means a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, as any such exemption may be amended from time to time.

10.12. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) , a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.12 and held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (1) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (if such amount is denominated in Dollars) or at the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent (if such amount is denominated in a Committed Currency) and (2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns) , agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such

payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.12(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.12(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.12(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments ) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower Representative) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment),

(B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 12.1 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower Representative or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed hereunder by any Loan Party; provided that this Section 10.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative

Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations of the Borrowers (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Parent or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Parent or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price promptly restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1. Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Parent nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.5 (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 12.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.2. Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided unless a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, no Lender or other assignee shall acquire rights under any such assignment that would cause the Commitment of such Lender or assignee to be greater than 20% of the Aggregate Commitment; provided further that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default under Section 7.2, Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof (including the Administrative Agent’s confirmation by telephone that the Borrower Representative has received such notice); and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA may assign to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Lending Partners LLC without consent at any time; provided that such assignment shall comply with the other terms and provisions of this Section 12.2 (including delivery of an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. 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 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 Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to Disqualified Lenders or (C) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C).

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 and Sections 9.6 and 9.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising

from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.4.

12.3. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4. Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Lender, a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any person not engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of business) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.8 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would require consent of all of the affected Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.5(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.2; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.20, 3.5 and 3.6 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.2; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to

receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Representative’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Representative to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.1 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, 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 or Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

12.5. Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

12.6. Disqualified Lenders. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower Representative has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower Representative of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause 12.6(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 12.6 shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 12.2), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Debtor Relief Plan”), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower Representative hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower Representative and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Disqualified Lender List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the Disqualified Lender List to each Lender requesting the same.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

13.2. Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

13.3. Platform. (a) Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(b) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Parent or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

ARTICLE XIV

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. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by electronic transmission or telephone that it has taken such action. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by telecopier or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif” or “DocuSign”) will be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import herein shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, digital copies of a signatory’s manual signature, and deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

ARTICLE XV

GUARANTY

15.1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees,

indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party arising under the Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty (other than payment thereof), and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, the respective obligations of each Borrower are several and not joint, except to the extent such Borrower is providing a guarantee as a Guarantor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) above, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty, the Obligations and any other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar avoidable or invalid transaction under foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or other similarly avoidable or invalid transaction.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to the other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent and the Lenders be entitled to more than a single recovery. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.5 of this Agreement (and any provisions that cross-reference Section 3.5) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any payment made by a Guarantor under this Guaranty.

15.2. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any Law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any lender with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses, it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);

(f) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any supplement to this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Obligations; or

(g) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety (other than payment thereof).

15.3. Rights Of Lenders. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party may at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

15.4. Certain Waivers and Acknowledgements. (a) Each Guarantor waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party) of the liability of such Borrower; (ii) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (iii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (iv) any right to proceed against any Borrower or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party whatsoever until the

Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received payment in full in respect of the Obligations; and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations of each Borrower, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any other Person and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 15.2 and this Section 15.4 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) The waivers of each Guarantor set forth in this Section 15.4 are made to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

15.5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

15.6. Subrogation. Upon the occurrence and solely during the continuance of a Default, no Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid and performed in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held for the benefit of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party and shall forthwith be paid to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

100

15.7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are paid in full in cash and (b) the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Lenders or any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

15.8. Stay Of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party.

15.9. Condition Of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers as such Guarantor requires, and that none of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

15.10. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as a “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Section to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Section, and each reference in this Agreement to the “Guaranty,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Section, shall mean and be a reference to this Section as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

15.11. Irish Limitation. This Guaranty shall not apply to the extent it would result in the guaranty constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Irish Companies Act or constitute a breach of Section 239 of the Irish Companies Act.

15.12. English Limitation. This Guaranty shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any obligation or liability constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 677 of the English Companies Act or any equivalent provision of any applicable law or otherwise being unlawful or in breach of the fiduciary or statutory duties of any director or officer of any Loan Party.

101

ARTICLE XVI

MISCELLANEOUS

16.1. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

16.2. Consent to Jurisdiction, etc. (a) Jurisdiction. The Parent and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Parent or any other Loan Party or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Waiver of Venue. The Parent and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

102

(d) Agent for Service of Process. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Aon North America, Inc. as its agent for service of process with respect to all of the Loan Documents and all other related agreements to which it is a party (the “Process Agent”) and Aon North America, Inc. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts such appointment as the Process Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to forward promptly to the Parent all legal process addressed to the Parent received by the Process Agent. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that the failure of Aon North America, Inc. to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. To the extent that each Designated Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its Property, each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

16.3. Designated Subsidiaries. (a) Designation. The Parent may at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice in the case of any Subsidiary so designated after the Effective Date, notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) that the Parent intends to designate a Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement. On or after the date that is 15 Business Days after such notice, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent and each Lender of a Designation Agreement duly executed by the Parent and the respective Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Parent’s notice of such pending designation by the Parent and the identity of the respective Subsidiary. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 16.3(a), if the designation of such Designated Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Parent shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

If the Parent shall designate as a Designated Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the United Kingdom and Wales, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Parent, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Designated Subsidiary.

As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Parent or the Administrative Agent of the Parent’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a Designated Subsidiary, and in any event no later than ten Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Designated Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Designated Subsidiary, either directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender selected pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Parent shall, effective on or before the date that such

103

Designated Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent or the relevant Designated Subsidiary (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” hereunder.

(b) Termination. Upon the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes of any Designated Subsidiary then, so long as at the time no Borrowing Notice in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly upon its receipt of a request therefor from the Parent). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Advance hereunder to such Designated Subsidiary.

16.4. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Committed Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower Representative) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Committed Currency had occurred.

16.5. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, LAW OR EQUITY) 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the above-captioned Credit Agreement and to the Guaranty set forth in Article XV thereof. The capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party arising under the Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any indemnified party in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). This Guaranty Supplement shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement (other than payment thereof), and the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, the respective obligations of each Borrower are several and not joint, except to the extent such Borrower is providing a guarantee as a Guarantor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) above, the undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, the Obligations and any other obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar avoidable or invalid transaction under foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similarly avoidable or invalid transaction.

(c) The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty Supplement or the Guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Credit Agreement. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent and the Lenders be entitled to more than a single recovery.

Section 2. Obligations Under the Guaranty. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Guaranty to an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.

Section 3. Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty Supplement 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 Guaranty Supplement by signing any such counterpart.

Section 4. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) The undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Guaranty Supplement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each

of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The undersigned agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty Supplement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty Supplement or any other Loan Document against the undersigned or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Supplement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. The undersigned hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) THE UNDERSIGNED ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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.
