“Benchmark Replacement Date” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark, the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

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

(1) 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);

administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, 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

(3) 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 no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer 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 Unavailability Period” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.08(b) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.08(b).

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (a) any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification having a similar result or effect) (and related interpretations) to value any Debt of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (b) any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to the extent such implementation would require recognition of a lease liability where such lease (or similar arrangement) would not have required a lease liability under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2018, (c) any treatment of Debt in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) (and related interpretations) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof, and (d) any valuation of Debt below its full stated principal amount as a result of application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, it being agreed that Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

General Provisions Applicable to Loans

SECTION 3.01. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make the amount of each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, by 2:00 p.m., New York City time. The Administrative Agent will make Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent (or such other account as may be designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request). If a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to the Lenders.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate on the applicable Borrowing; provided that no repayment by the Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to be a prepayment for purposes of Section 3.10. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall both pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.02. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 3.02. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Interest Election Request by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.08, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.02, the Borrower shall not be permitted to elect an Interest Period that does not comply with Section 2.02(e).

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 3.03. Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Aggregate Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 (except, in each case, as otherwise may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.05, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Commitment or (B) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments under Section 3.03(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. All fees in respect of the Aggregate Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 3.04. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Maturity Date the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a Register pursuant to Section 10.04(d) and an account for each Lender in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any promissory note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and the Interest Period

applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 3.04(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its assigns.

SECTION 3.05. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Voluntary. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part and without premium or penalty (other than amounts required to be paid in accordance with Section 3.10), subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.05(c).

(b) Mandatory. If for any reason the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Borrower learns thereof and (ii) the date on which the Administrative Agent so requests in writing, prepay the Loans outstanding at such time in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the excess over the Aggregate Commitments.

(c) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by e-mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of voluntary prepayment under Section 3.05(a) of any Borrowing may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a

Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.

(d) Application of Prepayments. Prepayments will be applied first to ABR Borrowings, then to Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings and then to Term SOFR Borrowings in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.07.

(e) Records. The Borrower will use reasonable efforts to implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the Borrowings and repayments, with the object of preventing any request for a Borrowing that would cause conditions specified in the first sentence of Section 2.01 not to be satisfied.

SECTION 3.06. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the facility fee rate per annum determined pursuant to the Pricing Grid, on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that if a Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Facility fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and accrued facility fees shall also be due and payable on the date on which all Commitments shall have terminated (and, if the Maturity Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 3.15, on each subsequent date on which any Loans are repaid or prepaid) and on the Maturity Date; provided that any facility fees accruing on the Revolving Credit Exposure after the date on which a Commitment terminates (except if the Maturity Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 3.15) shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid.

(c) If the Borrower exercises the Term-Out Option under Section 3.15, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date, a term out fee (a “Term-Out Fee”) equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans that are not repaid on such date.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and the

Term-Out Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 3.07. Interest.

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

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

(c) The Loans comprising each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.08, shall bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3.07 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.07(a).

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and, if the Maturity Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 3.15, on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.07(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

SECTION 3.08. Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 3.08(b), if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone) to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 3.02 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.08(a)(i) or 3.08(a)(ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Section 3.08(a)(i) or 3.08(a)(ii) above. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.08(a) with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 3.02 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.08(a)(i) or 3.08(a)(ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Section 3.08(a)(i) or 3.08(a)(ii) above.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan

Documents in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

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

(iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(iv) and (E) the commencement or conclusion 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 3.08, 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 to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.08.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (1) 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 (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a

Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term SOFR Borrowing into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.08, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

SECTION 3.09. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan) by an amount deemed by such Lender or other Recipient to be material or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or other Recipient to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient such additional amount or amounts as

will compensate such Lender or other Recipient for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans held by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient as specified in Section 3.09(a) or 3.09(b), and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or other Recipient the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to this Section 3.09 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or other Recipient notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 3.10. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 3.05(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.13, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.10 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 3.11. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder by the Borrower or on behalf of the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If under any applicable law the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Tax from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Recipient, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Section 3.11) such Recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender (or Participant) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been determined, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60 days of the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives written demand for payment of such Indemnified Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.11(d).

(e) If a Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund, which in its reasonable judgment is in respect of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent 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 the Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(f) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 3.11 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 in full of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(h) Each Lender (or Participant) that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two copies of (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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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) an executed IRS Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code

with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-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 the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(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) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or (iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or another 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 D-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner, in each case, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. Each Lender (or Participant) that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of an executed IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying that such Lender (or Participant) is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant becomes a Participant hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”), unless each of the applicable lending office prior to such designation and the New Lending Office are located within the United States. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.11(h), a Lender (or Participant) shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.11(h) that such Lender (or Participant) is not legally able to deliver.

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.11(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(j) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender (or Participant), or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender (or Participant), in respect of any United States withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(c) to the extent that (i) the

obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such withholding tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on the date such Participant became a Participant hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided that this Section 3.11(j) shall not apply to any Lender (or Participant) if the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of a New Lending Office was made at the request of the Borrower; and provided further that this Section 3.11(j) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts any Lender (or Participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this Section 3.11(j)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the Lender (or Participant) making the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Participant) to comply with the provisions of Section 3.11(h) or 3.11(i).

(k) Nothing contained in this Section 3.11 shall require any Lender (or Participant) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its Tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

SECTION 3.12. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of any amounts payable under Section 3.09, 3.10 or 3.11, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to such account or accounts as the Administrative Agent shall designate from time to time, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.09, 3.10, 3.11 and 10.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended, except as otherwise provided in the definition of the terms “Commitment Termination Date”, “Maturity Date” and “Interest Period”, to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder,

such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, as it may be amended from time to time) or 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Lender the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.01(b), 3.11(d) or 3.12(d) or Article IX, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 3.13. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions), to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Sections 3.09 and 3.11) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 3.10), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.13(a) and such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from clause (iv) above, the assignee provides its consent to such requested amendment, waiver, or other modification of this Agreement or such other Loan Document. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 3.14. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(a); and

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.07); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.07, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender as set forth in this Section 3.14, and all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07 and this Section 3.14 during such period shall be binding on it). The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 3.14 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.15. Term-Out Option

The Borrower may, by delivery of a notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Commitment Termination Date, elect (such election, the “Term-Out Option”) to extend the Maturity Date to be the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date; provided that any such extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions that (a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.05(b) and 4.06(a)) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Commitment Termination Date; provided that (i) to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on and as of the Commitment Termination Date, (c) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in the preceding clauses (a) and (b), dated the Commitment Termination Date and executed by a Financial Officer and (d) the Administrative Agent shall have received the Term-Out Fees for the account of each Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(c).

ARTICLE IX

The Administrative Agent

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, JPMorgan is hereby appointed to act as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms and provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the other parties hereto, without hereby limiting any implied authority: (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and promptly distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as received by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and 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, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the 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 necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be

contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or Related Parties in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 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 to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents).

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including concerning the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or the occurrence of any Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, sufficiency, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instruments or agreements. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender that makes any Loan as the holder of the obligations resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall have any responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Lender being a Restricted Lender unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received the written notice from such Lender referred to in Section 1.06, and then only as and to the extent specified in such notice, and any determination of whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders shall have provided a consent or direction in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any delivery to the Administrative Agent of any such written notice subsequent to such consent or direction being provided by the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through its branches, Affiliates, agents or

employees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Borrower, designate any of its branches or Affiliates as the Person to receive any or all notices (including Borrowing Requests and Interest Election Requests) to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of 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 sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent acceptable to the Borrower; provided that in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or any Affiliate of such bank) with an office in New York, New York. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 3.09, 3.11 and 10.05, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 3.06, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10, 3.11 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.05).

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and 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, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Each Lender represents and warrants that, as of the date it becomes a Lender, (i) it is such Lender’s intention that the Loan Documents set

forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent or a Lender under this Agreement, but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities and exculpatory provisions provided for hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (a) that is in a different amount than, or on a different

date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (b) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (a) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (b) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower.

Each party’s obligations under the three immediately preceding paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may, in addition to email, be delivered or furnished by electronic communication or using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by such electronic communication or using Electronic Systems. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in addition to email, agree, in its discretion, to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by other electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications or may be rescinded by any such Person by notice to each other such Person.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Electronic System in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Electronic System and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices and Borrowing Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of any of the foregoing from all Liabilities and expenses resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any other Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making by the Lenders of the Loans regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, and regardless of whether any such Person may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or the Aggregate Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.09, 3.10, 3.11, 10.05, 10.15 and 10.16 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions

contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Aggregate Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (by electronic “.pdf” or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any party that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of a Commitment or a Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (A) each of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (B) the amount of the Commitment or 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) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless it shall be the entire amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans, as applicable, or unless each of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, and (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and, unless otherwise waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (y) 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 or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall (i) continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.09, 3.10, 3.11 and 10.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid and (ii) continue to be subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not

comply with this clause 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 10.04(f).

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount (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 in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. No assignment or transfer of any Loan or Commitment (or portion thereof) shall be effective unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.04(e). The Register shall be available for inspection by each party hereto as to its own interests hereunder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee together with an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b), if applicable, and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and 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, (iii) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 to the same extent as if it were an assignee under Section 10.04(b) (subject to the requirements therein, including the requirements under Sections 3.11(h) and 3.11(i) (it being understood that the documentation required under such Sections shall be delivered to the participating Lender)); provided that such Participant agrees to the provisions of Section 3.13 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.04(b) and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment than the amount that could have been claimed by the participating Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation, and it being further agreed that the participating Lender will not be permitted to make claims against the Borrower under Section 3.09(b) for costs or reductions resulting from the sale of a participation, except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such participating Lender, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such participating Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) such participating Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan

Document; provided that, in the case of any amendments, modifications or waivers described in the first proviso to Section 10.07(b), the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such participating Lender sells such a participation may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the applicable Participant, agree to any such amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders.

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as an Administrative Agent) shall not have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant shall be subject to confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those contained herein.

(i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any rights and duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (and any assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void).

(j) 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 or other central banking authority, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses, Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by (i) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers in connection with entering into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of

the provisions hereof or thereof (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single counsel), or (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document or in connection with the Loans made hereunder or thereunder, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and, in the case of enforcement, each Lender.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the respective Related Parties of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein), (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that (x) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has determined by a final non-appealable judgment that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (y) such indemnity shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses that result from disputes solely between Lenders (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any dispute involving the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other titled person in its capacity, or in fulfilling its role, as such).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, (i) any claim against any Lender-Related Person, on any theory of liability, for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) any Liabilities against any Lender-Related Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.05(a) or 10.05(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such

capacity. For purposes of this Section 10.05, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05(d) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any payment pursuant to this Section 10.05(d) shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment pursuant to this Section 10.05(d).

(e) All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.06. Applicable Law. This Agreement 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 and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 10.07. Waivers, Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.07(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 10.07(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by, in the case of this Agreement, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the scheduled maturity date of (except as provided in Section 3.15 in connection with the exercise of the Term-Out Option), or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) increase the amount of, or postpone the scheduled date of the expiration of, any Commitment, or decrease or extend the date for payment of the facility fees, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 3.03(c), 3.12(b) or 3.12(c) in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or amend or modify the provisions of Section 10.04(i) or this Section 10.07 or the definition of the “Required

Lenders”, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the requirement that Loans by Lenders be made ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby or (v) change the currency of any Loan or the currency in which Loans are required to be made by Lenders without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided further that no such agreement shall waive, amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(i) no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (A) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in Section 10.07(b)(i) or 10.07(b)(ii) and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (B) in the case of any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in the first proviso to Section 10.07(b), any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(ii) this Agreement may be amended in a manner provided in Section 3.08(b); and

(iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(d) Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 10.07, and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder.

SECTION 10.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers constitute the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties not referred to in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not supersede any provision of any commitment letter or engagement letter entered into in connection herewith that by the express terms thereof survives the execution and delivery hereof. Nothing in this

Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement upon any Person other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 10.04(f)), the Arrangers and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.10. Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page (including any Electronic Signature) of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Borrower has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal

effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agrees that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any Lender, the Borrower or any Related Party of any of the foregoing for any losses, claims, demands, damages, penalties, liabilities and expenses of any kind, on any theory of liability, arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or the Borrower’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any losses, claims, demands, damages, penalties, liabilities and expenses of any kind, on any theory of liability, arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.12 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.13. Jurisdiction: Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, brought by it or any of

its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such federal court or, in the event such federal court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, such New York State court. Each party 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.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto in any court referred to in Section 10.13(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, litigation or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.14.

SECTION 10.15. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly agrees for the benefit of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential or shall be subject to a professional or employment obligation of confidentiality applying to such Confidential Information), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder and thereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Borrower and

the Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.15, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any direct or indirect counterparty to a Hedge Agreement or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and their obligations (or, in each case, their respective advisors), (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized ratings agency, (i) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein or (j) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.15, (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or (iii) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender without reference to the Confidential Information; provided that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clause (b) above (other than any such disclosure in connection with any routine compliance examination or examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such regulatory authority) and clause (c) above (unless prohibited by law or applicable court order), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall attempt to notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or other Person for disclosure of such Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Section 10.15, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information, including material nonpublic information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from the Borrower and the Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than (x) any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and (y) information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by agents or arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 10.15 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 Confidential Information as such Person customarily accords to its own confidential information. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section 10.15 for any purpose, including to comply with Regulation FD.

SECTION 10.16. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and the Borrower agrees to provide such information from time to time upon request to each Lender and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated

hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Credit Parties and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby agrees not to assert any claims against any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith.

SECTION 10.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any of the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any 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 entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

SECTION 10.19. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that the

interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.19 shall, to the extent lawful, be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon to the date of repayment at the rate or rates applicable to such Loan, shall have been received by such Lender.

ANNEX I

PRICING GRID


Pricing Category	Ratings (S&P/Moody’s)	Facility Fee Rate (in Basis Points)	Applicable Margin for Term SOFR/Daily Simple SOFR Loans (in Basis Points)	Applicable Margin for ABR Loans (in Basis Points)
Category 1	A-/A3 or higher	6.0	81.5	0.0
Category 2	BBB+/Baa1	7.5	92.5	0.0
Category 3	BBB/Baa2	9.0	103.5	3.5
Category 4	BBB-/Baa3	12.5	112.5	12.5
Category 5	BB+/Ba1 or lower	15.0	135.0	35.0

The Applicable Margin and the facility fee rate in effect on any date shall be based on the Ratings (as defined below) in effect on such date. The ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Annex I are the public ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies to senior, unsecured long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower that is not subject to any credit enhancement (the “Ratings”). The Rating by any Rating Agency in effect at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such date. The Borrower hereby agrees that at all times it shall maintain a Rating from either S&P or Moody’s. If a Rating is supplied by only one of S&P and Moody’s, then that single Rating shall be determinative. In the case of split Ratings from S&P and Moody’s, the Rating to be used to determine which Category applies shall be the higher of the two Ratings; provided that if the split is more than one full Category, the Category that is one below that applicable to the higher Rating shall be used (e.g. BBB+/Baa3 results in Category 3 and A-/Baa3 in Category 2). If no Ratings shall be in effect, then the applicable Category shall be Category 5. For purposes of the Pricing Grid, “Basis Point” shall mean 1/100th of 1%.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Annex I have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement to which this Annex I is attached.
