(e) Electronic Execution.

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and, for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise expressly and specifically restricted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may subsequently reclassify or divide (as applicable) such transaction (or portion thereof, as applicable) among such permitting clauses of such applicable Section(s) and shall only be required, at any given time, to count such transaction (or portion thereof, as applicable) as permitted in reliance on one (1) of such permitting clauses of such applicable Section(s).

(h) For purposes of determining the amount of any Earn Out Obligations and/or other deferred purchase price obligations of any Person for purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the amount of such Earn Out Obligations and/or other deferred purchase price obligations shall be deemed to be the aggregate liability in respect thereof required to be reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of such Person in accordance with GAAP.

Should an applicable Governmental Authority notify any Credit Party or Subsidiary of a potentially actionable issue or concern related to control of a Regulated Entity or determine that all or any of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is or are acting as control persons, as defined or used under the Florida Insurance Code or other Applicable Laws, of any Regulated Entity due to one or more provisions of this Agreement, the parties agree to promptly further negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement such that none of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are considered by such Governmental Authority to be control persons of the Regulated Entities and to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 1.5 Classifications of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”, the “Term Loan A” or the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Loan” or a “Base Rate Loan”), or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Revolving SOFR Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Borrowing”), by Type (e.g., a “SOFR Borrowing” or a “Base Rate Borrowing”), or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Revolving SOFR Borrowing”).

Section 1.6 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent that any Lender agrees to extend the maturity date of, or replaces, renews and/or refinances any of, its then-existing Loans pursuant to any Borrowing under an Incremental Facility and/or any loans incurred under a new credit facility (including, without limitation, a new credit facility documented as an amendment and restatement of this Agreement), in each case of the foregoing, to the extent that such extension, replacement, renewal and/or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, then such extension, replacement, renewal and/or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement(s) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document that any related payment(s) to be made in effectuating such extension, replacement, renewal and/or refinancing be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

Section 1.7 Interest Rate Disclosure. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability whatsoever with respect to: (a) the continuation, administration, submission and/or calculation of, or any other matter related to, any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor) and/or any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable), or any component definition used or referred to in, or any rate(s) used or referred to in, the definitions of any of the foregoing in Section 1.1, or for any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition and/or characteristics of any such actual or proposed alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement) is or will be similar to, or produces or will produce the same or substantially equivalent value or economic equivalence of, or has or will have the same or a comparable volume or liquidity as, any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable) and/or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability; or (b) the effect, implementation and/or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent, together with its Affiliates and other related entities, may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable), any alternative, successor or replacement rate of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement), and/or any relevant adjustments to any of the foregoing, in any such case of the foregoing, in a manner adverse to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable), and/or any other Benchmark, in each case of the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, any other Regulated Entity, any Lender and/or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental and/or consequential damages, costs, losses and/or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or any component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(G) if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of establishment of any Incremental Revolver Increase, then the Borrower shall, if applicable, prepay one (1) or more of the then outstanding Revolving Loans (any such prepayment to be subject to Section 3.1(c)) in an amount necessary such that, after giving effect to such Incremental Revolver Increase, each Lender will hold its respective pro rata share of outstanding Revolving Loans; provided, that, any such prepayment may be effected, in whole or in part, pursuant to a cashless rollover in accordance with Section 1.6;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing of this clause (e)(i): (I) neither Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (nor any of their respective successors or assigns), shall have any obligation to agree to increase any Class of its Commitments or any of its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or to otherwise provide all, or any portion, of any Incremental Facility, and any decision by a Lender to agree to any such increase or to otherwise provide all, or any portion, of an Incremental Facility shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion, independently from, and without reliance upon, any other existing Lender or Additional Incremental Lender; and (II) neither any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (nor any of their respective successors or assigns), shall have any responsibility for arranging any Commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility, in each case of this clause (e)(i)(II), without their prior written consent and subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, fee arrangements) as they may require in connection therewith.

Section 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Loans Commitments. During the Revolver Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender shall make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to, but not exceeding, the Swingline Sublimit; provided, that, after giving effect to the making of any Swingline Loan, in no event shall (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective Revolving Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.2 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolver Availability Period. The Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and all Swingline Loans, and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans and the Revolving Commitments, shall be Paid in Full by no later than such date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Swingline Loans.

(i) Subject to clause (b)(vi) below, whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Funding Notice by no later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed Credit Date (provided, that, a Funding Notice delivered by the Borrower may be expressly conditioned in writing upon the consummation of any specified transaction or event, in which case, such Funding Notice shall be revoked or extended if such event or transaction does not occur or is delayed).

(ii) The Swingline Lender shall make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent by not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swingline Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swingline Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iii) With respect to any Swingline Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11, the Swingline Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the day of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such Credit Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swingline Lender requests the Lenders to prepay (provided, that, a Funding Notice delivered by the Borrower may be expressly conditioned in writing upon the consummation of any specified transaction or event, in which case, such Funding Notice shall be revoked or extended if such event or transaction does not occur or is delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (A) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swingline Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swingline Loans; and (B) on the day that such Revolving Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall instead constitute part of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of the Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swingline Lender, are insufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by, or on behalf of, the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.14.

(iv) If, for any reason, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to clause (b)(iii) above in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans on or before the third (3^rd) Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swingline Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed

to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans, and in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon; provided, that, any such participation purchased by a Lender shall be limited to an amount that would not cause the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (immediately after giving effect to such participation) to exceed the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective Revolving Commitment. On the Business Day that notice is provided by the Swingline Lender (or by the 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the following Business Day, if such notice is provided after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time)), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of the Swingline Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender. In the event that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Swingline Lender the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation as provided in this clause (b)(v), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swingline Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(v) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:

(A) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to clause (b)(iii) above, and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including:

(I) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(II) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default;

(III) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party;

(IV) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or

(V) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;

provided, that, such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swingline Lender had not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required Revolving Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans were made; and

(B) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans:

(I) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a Default or Event of Default;

(II) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of such Swingline Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Revolving Lenders; or

(III) at a time when a Defaulting Lender exists, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent.

(vi) In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may mutually agree, and are hereby authorized, to enter into an auto borrow agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent (the “Auto Borrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Swingline Lender of Swingline Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto Borrow Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. At any time that an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, advances under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be deemed Swingline Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except that Borrowings of Swingline Loans under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Auto Borrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time during which an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Swingline Loans shall be deemed to equal the sum of: (A) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Swingline Loans at such time; plus (B) the maximum unused amount available to be borrowed under such Auto Borrow Agreement at such time.

Section 2.3 Issuances of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a) Letters of Credit. During the Revolver Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the aggregate amount up to, but not exceeding, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, provided, that:

(i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars;

(ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or such lesser amount as may be approved in writing by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall: (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount; (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed the amount of such Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment; and (C) the aggregate issued and outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations, taken together, exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and

(iv) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date that is later than the earlier to occur of: (A) seven (7) calendar days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; and (B) the date which is one (1) year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Subject to the foregoing (other than clause (a)(iv)) the Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, that, (I) the Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension, and (II) in the event that any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender), including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate issued and outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations, taken together, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agents, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder. The Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of issuance (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular instance) (provided, that, an Issuance Notice delivered by the Borrower may be expressly conditioned in writing upon the consummation of any specified transaction or event, in which case, such Issuance Notice shall be revoked or extended if such event or transaction does not occur or is delayed). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures (including, without limitation, the delivery by the Borrower of such executed documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may require). Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (e) below.

(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for:

(ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit;

(iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms;

(vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;

(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or

(viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder.

Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to any Credit Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (c), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.

(d) Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, that, (i) anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (B) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 5.2, the Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) if, for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this clause (d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this clause (d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder; provided, that, any such participation purchased by a Lender shall be limited to an amount that would not cause the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (immediately after giving effect to such participation) to exceed the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective Revolving Commitment. In the event that the Borrower shall fail, for any reason, to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in clause (d) above, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective participation therein based on such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment Percentage. Each Lender shall make available to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice, by not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the first (1^st) Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this clause (e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this clause (e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this clause (e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this clause (e) with respect to such honored drawing such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by the Lenders pursuant to clause (d) above and the obligations of the Lenders under clause (e) above shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense (other than that such drawing has been repaid) or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, a Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto;

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

(viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, that, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Credit Parties under Section 11.2, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees, on a joint and several basis, to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of:

(i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of:

(A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order; or

(B) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it; or

(ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 2.4 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective pro rata shares of the Loans, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment, or the portion of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of any Loans, of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds.

(i) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m. (Noon) (Eastern time) on the date of such 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(d) or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with, and at the time required by, Section 2.1(d) 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 in immediately available funds 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, (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, plus, in either case, any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. If the Borrower and such Lender shall 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. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 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.

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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 the Lenders or the Issuing Bank 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 the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may

be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from, and including, the date such amount is distributed to it to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Notices given by the Administrative Agent under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.5 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Credit Party to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that, (i) the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitment or the Borrower’s obligations in respect of any applicable Loans, and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern in the absence of demonstrable error therein.

(b) Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to (i) each Lender on the Closing Date, (ii) each Person who is a permitted assignee of such a Lender pursuant to Section 11.5, and (iii) each Additional Incremental Lender, in each case, to the extent requested by such Person, a Note to evidence such Person’s respective portion of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Term Loans and other Obligations.

Section 2.6 Scheduled Principal Payments.

(a) Revolving Loans. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans (together with any unpaid accrued interest and fees with respect thereto) shall become due and payable, and be repaid, in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Swingline Loans. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of Swingline Loans (together with any unpaid accrued interest and fees with respect thereto) shall become due and payable, and be repaid, in full on the earlier to occur of: (i) the date of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender; and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Term Loan A. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A shall be repaid in equal quarterly installments, beginning on the last Business Day of the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2025, in an amount of Two Million Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) per Fiscal Quarter, payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (as such quarterly installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Article 9, with the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A (together with any unpaid accrued interest and fees with respect thereto) being due and payable in full on the Maturity Date for the Term Loan A.

(d) Delayed Draw Term Loan. The outstanding principal balance of each advance made under the Delayed Draw Term Loan during the DDTL Availability Period shall be repaid in equal quarterly installments, beginning on the last Business Day of the first (1^st) full Fiscal Quarter ending after the date on which such advance is made, in an amount equal to the DDTL Amortization Payment Amount per Fiscal Quarter, payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (as such quarterly installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Article 9, with the outstanding principal balance of each advance under the Delayed Draw Term Loan (together with any unpaid accrued interest and fees with respect thereto) being due and payable in full on the Maturity Date for the Delayed Draw Term Loan.

(e) Incremental Term Loans. The outstanding principal balance of any Incremental Term Loans shall be repaid in installments on the date(s), and in the amount(s), set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement establishing such Incremental Term Loan.

Section 2.7 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Revolving Loans, the Term Loan A and the Delayed Draw Term Loan:

(A) to the extent outstanding as Base Rate Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(B) to the extent outstanding as SOFR Loans, at Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, at the Swingline Rate (or with respect to any Swingline Loan advanced pursuant to an Auto Borrow Agreement, such other rate as separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender);

(iii) in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, at the percentages per annum specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement establishing such Incremental Term Loan.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swingline Loan, which may only be made and maintained at the Swingline Rate (unless and until converted into a Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof)), and the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If, on any day, a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day: (i) if such Loan is a SOFR Loan, such Loan shall become a Base Rate Loan; and (ii) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, such Loan shall remain a Base Rate Loan.

(c) In connection with SOFR Loans, there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice, such Loan: (i) if outstanding as a SOFR Loan, will be automatically continued, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan, as a SOFR Loan with an equivalent Interest Period; and (ii) if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan. In the event the Borrower

fails to specify an Interest Period for any SOFR Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to each of the SOFR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined (and for the applicable Interest Period) and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be computed on the basis of: (i) for interest at the Base Rate, year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be; and (ii) for all other computations of fees and interest, a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan, or the first (1^st) day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such SOFR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such SOFR Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date, was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the holders of the Obligations, promptly on demand (and, in any event, by not later than ten (10) consecutive calendar days after the date of such demand) by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and any without further action(s) by the Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This clause (e) shall not limit the rights of the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under any other provision of this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations under this clause (e) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations.

(f) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on and to: (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan (other than a voluntary prepayment of a Revolving Loan or Term Loan which interest shall be payable in accordance with clause (f)(i) above), to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.

(g) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from, and including, the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date such amount is reimbursed by, or on behalf of, the Borrower at a rate equal to:

(i) for the period from, and including, the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) thereafter, a rate which is the lesser of: (y) two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; and (z) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(h) Interest payable pursuant to clause (g) above shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to clause (g) above, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower.

(i) In connection with the use and/or administration of SOFR, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor and/or any SOFR-Based Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes in consultation with the Borrower from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, any amendment(s) implementing any such Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or of any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes implemented in connection with the use and/or administration of SOFR, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor and/or any SOFR-Based Rate.

Section 2.8 Conversion / Continuation.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all, or any part, of any Loan equal to One-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and, if greater, in an integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that, a SOFR Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 3.1(c) in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any SOFR Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan as a SOFR Loan.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion / Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion / Continuation Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion / Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any SOFR Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.9 Default Rate of Interest.

(a) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(b) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then, at the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Automatic Acceleration Event of Default or a Payment Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default other than an Automatic Acceleration Event of Default and a Payment Event of Default, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(e) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(f) In the case of any SOFR Loan, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time the Default Rate of interest is effective, each such SOFR Loan shall thereupon become a Base Rate Loan and shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate then in effect for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.10 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage and its DDTL Commitment Percentage (as applicable), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the sum of: (i) the product of (A) the Applicable Margin, multiplied by (B) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, subject to adjustment(s) as provided in Section 2.16; plus (ii) the product of (A) the Applicable Margin, multiplied by (B) the Aggregate DDTL Commitment Amount then in effect. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolver Availability Period and at all times during the DDTL Commitment Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 5 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the Closing Date, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date; provided, that, (I) no Commitment Fee shall accrue on any Revolving Commitment or any DDTL Commitment of any Defaulting Lender so

long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (II) any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any Revolving Commitment or any DDTL Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ became a Defaulting Lender that remains unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and, if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. For purposes of calculation of the Commitment Fee, Swingline Loans shall not be counted toward, or be considered as usage of, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3(b). The Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the expiration date thereof and thereafter on demand; provided, that, (1) no Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue in favor of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (2) any Letter of Credit Fees accrued in favor of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Automatic Acceleration Event of Default or a Payment Event of Default, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate; and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default other than an Automatic Acceleration Event of Default and a Payment Event of Default, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(ii) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall pay, directly to the Issuing Bank for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.

(ii) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitments of each Lender proportionately to its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof (provided, that, a notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may be expressly conditioned in writing upon the consummation of any specified transaction or event, in which case, such notice of termination or reduction shall be revoked or extended if such event or transaction does not occur or is delayed).

Section 2.12 Application of Prepayments. Within each Loan, prepayments will be applied, first, to Base Rate Loans, and then, to SOFR Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. In addition:

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments will be applied as specified by the Borrower, provided, that, in the case of prepayments on any of the Term Loans:

(i) the prepayment will be applied ratably to the Term Loans then outstanding; and

(iii) Mandatory prepayments with respect to each of the Term Loans will be applied to remaining principal installments thereunder (including the installment due on the applicable Maturity Date therefor) on a pro rata basis.

(c) Prepayments on the Obligations will be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective interests therein (except for Defaulting Lenders where their share will be applied as provided in Section 2.16(a)(ii) hereof).

Section 2.13 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition. The Administrative Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, debit a deposit account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries held with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and designated for such purpose by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest and fees due hereunder or under any other Credit Document (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to debit a deposit account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries held with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest and fees due hereunder or any other Credit Document (including because insufficient funds are available in its accounts for that purpose), payments hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Administrative Agent (or at such other location as may be designated in writing by the Administrative Agent from time to time); for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next Business Day.

(c) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary repayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable pro rata share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due to such Lender hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion / Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its pro rata share of any SOFR Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(f) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Commitment Fee hereunder, but such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the date therefor for all other purposes hereunder.

(g) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, deem any payment by, or on behalf of, the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of: (i) the time such funds become available funds; and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate (unless otherwise provided by the Required Lenders) from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is Paid in Full.

Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the

Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to:

(A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with, the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender);

(B) any amounts applied by the Swingline Lender to outstanding Swingline Loans;

(C) any amounts applied to Letter of Credit Obligations by the Issuing Bank or Swingline Loans by the Swingline Lender, as appropriate, from Cash Collateral provided under Section 2.15 or Section 2.16; or

(D) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Loans, or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations, Swingline Loans or other obligations hereunder, to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply).

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

Section 2.15 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a perfected first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 following:

(i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender); or

(ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral;

provided, that, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by, or on behalf of, a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and, following application as provided in this Section 2.15, may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.3) but shall be released upon the cure, termination or waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released, but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.4(a)(iii).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount (other than fees which any Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to clause (a)(iii) below) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.3), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder;

(C) third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15;

(D) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to: (I) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; and (II) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15;

(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(G) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(H) eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to the pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis, prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender, until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitments without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to (and the underlying obligations satisfied to the extent of such payment) and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee, any fees with respect to Letters of Credit (except as provided in clause (b) below) or any other fees hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(A) or (a)(iii)(B) above, the Borrower shall:

(I) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a)(iv) below;

(II) pay to the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender; and

(III) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All, or any part, of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment), but only to the extent that: (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non- Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law:

(A) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure; and

(B) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit

and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by, or on behalf of, the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan; and

(ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.17 Removal or Replacement of Lenders. If:

(A) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2;

(B) any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3;

(D) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender; or

(E) any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent (including by way of a failure to respond in writing to a proposed amendment, consent or waiver by the date and time specified by the Administrative Agent) to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination hereunder or with respect to any Credit Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders;

then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, 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, and consents required by, Section 11.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its rights under Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 11.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.5(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, as applicable, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.1(c)) 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);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3, such assignment is reasonably expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to consent to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination, the successor replacement Lender shall have consented to the proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination.

Each Lender agrees that in the event it, or its interests in the Loans and obligations hereunder, shall become subject to the replacement and removal provisions of this Section, it will cooperate with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to give effect to the provisions hereof, including execution and delivery of an Assignment Agreement in connection therewith, but the replacement and removal provisions of this Section shall be effective regardless of whether an Assignment Agreement shall have been given.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Credit Document” for purposes of this Section 3.1), in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties to this Agreement), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any SOFR Loans, that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such SOFR Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Term SOFR” (and any related defined terms used therein) in Section 1.1, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (either by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon and whereafter, (i) no Loans may or shall be made as, or continued as or converted into, SOFR Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower and the Lenders in writing that the event(s) and/or circumstance(s) giving rise to such initial determination no longer exist, (ii) any Funding Notice(s) and/or any Conversion / Continuation Notice(s) given by the Borrower with respect to any Loan(s) in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to have been rescinded by the Borrower, and (iii) all such Loan(s) described in the foregoing clause (a)(ii) shall be automatically made or continued as, or converted into, as applicable, Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1), unless the Borrower shall have prepaid such Loan(s) in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that, if the event(s) and/or circumstance(s) giving rise to such initial determination shall have occurred but only with respect to certain (but not all) of the tenors of the then applicable term rate Benchmark (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor), then (A) the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any

similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such illegal or impracticable tenor, and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of the Benchmark. Subject to clause (g) below, in the event that, on any date, any Lender shall have determined (which determination (A) shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties to this Agreement, but (B) shall be made only after written notice to, and consultation with, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred with respect to such Lender, then such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Lender shall, on that date, give notice (either by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter: (i) the obligation of such Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to continue Loans as or to convert Loans to, SOFR Loans shall be suspended, until such notice shall have been withdrawn by such Affected Lender in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; (ii) to the extent that such determination by such Affected Lender relates to a SOFR Loan, or to a continuation thereof or a conversion of outstanding Loans thereto, then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable), then the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as applicable) a Base Rate Loan, determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1; (iii) such Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding SOFR Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to such Affected Loans, or (B) when required by Applicable Law; and (iv) such Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1, on the date of such termination described in the foregoing clause (b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing of this clause (b), to the extent that a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a SOFR Loan (or a continuation thereof or a conversion of outstanding Loans thereto) then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable), then the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of the foregoing clause (a), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable) as to all Lenders by giving notice (either by telefacsimile or telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which such Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described in the foregoing of this clause (b) (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this clause (b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender, other than an Affected Lender, to make or maintain Loans as, or to continue outstanding Loans as or convert outstanding Loans into, SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event shall have occurred but only with respect to certain (but not all) of the tenors of the then applicable term rate Benchmark (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor), then: (I) the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such illegal or impracticable tenor; and (II) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(I) is not, or is no longer, subject to a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable out-of-pocket losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid, or calculated to be due and payable, by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its SOFR Loans, and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender sustains if: (i) for any reason (other than a default by such Lender), a borrowing of any SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice (or a telephonic request for borrowing), or a conversion to, or continuation of, any SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion / Continuation Notice (or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation); (ii) any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its SOFR Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), including as a result of an assignment in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17; or (iii) any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(d) Booking of SOFR Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer SOFR Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the amount(s) necessary to compensate such Lender, as specified in the foregoing clause (c), and the circumstances giving rise thereto, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount(s) shown as due on any such certificate promptly and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(f) Delay in Requests. The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing clause (c) for any such amount(s) incurred more than six (6) calendar months prior to the date on which such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower the certificate referenced in the foregoing clause (e).

(g) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders (individually or jointly) notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy delivered to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred, then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, a “Benchmark Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Interest Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated, the then current Benchmark shall be replaced under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Benchmark Replacement.

(ii) Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (A) if the Administrative Agent determines that any alternative Benchmark (other than the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor) set forth in the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” in Section 1.1 is available on, or prior to, the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, or (B) a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred with respect to a Benchmark Replacement (other than the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor) then in effect, then, in each case of the foregoing clauses (g)(ii)(A) and (g)(ii)(B), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the

purpose of replacing the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), or any then current Benchmark Replacement, in accordance with this Section 3.1 at the end of any applicable Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate, in any such case, giving due consideration to any evolving, or then existing, convention(s) for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmark(s), and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark(s) (giving due consideration to any evolving, or then existing, convention(s) for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmark(s)), which adjustment(s), or method(s) for calculating such adjustment(s), shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustment(s) shall constitute a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have posted a copy of such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and/or any other Person, 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.

(iii) Notices. The Administrative Agent shall notify (in one (1) or more notices) the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement.

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

(v) Floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if, at any time, any Benchmark Replacement, as determined in accordance with this Section 3.1 and the related definitions in Section 1.1, shall be less than the Floor, then such Benchmark Replacement shall be deemed to equal the Floor for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, at any time that the applicable interest rate for Base Rate Loans is determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1 by operation of this Section 3.1, then the “Floor”, for purposes of calculating such applicable interest rate, shall be increased by one percent (1.00%) per annum.

(vi) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption and/or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and/or any other Person; provided, that, with respect to any such amendment effected in reliance on this clause (g)(vi), the Administrative Agent shall post a copy of such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(vii) Standards for Decisions and Determinations. 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 clause (g), including, without limitation, 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, as applicable, sole discretion, and, in any event, without consent from any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other Person, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this clause (g).

Section 3.2 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the secured overnight financing or any other applicable interbank lending market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender (for purposes hereof, may be referred to collectively as “the Lenders” or a “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 ratios or requirements has 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, the commitments of such Lender hereunder or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policies and the policies of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) above and the circumstances giving rise thereto shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten

(10)	Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, delivers to the Borrower the certificate referenced in clause (c) above and notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.3 Taxes.

(a) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the term “Lender” shall include the Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Laws” shall include FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by, or on account of, any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Laws. If any Applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Tax Indemnification.

(i) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly

or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for:

(A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so);

(B) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.5(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and

in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit 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 clause (d)(ii).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of a return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (f)(ii)(A), (f)(ii)(B) and (f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W–9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN 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 any Credit Document, IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN 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) ▇▇▇▇ completed and executed originals of IRS Form W–8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871 or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code: (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable); or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W–8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W–8ECI, IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–2 or Exhibit 3.3– 3, IRS Form W–9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Internal Revenue 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 Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any indemnified party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification, and giving rise to such refund, had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed, and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 3.4 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts 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 designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as the case may be, in the future; and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Article 4

GUARANTY

Section 4.1 The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Qualifying Swap Providers, the Qualifying Treasury Management Banks and the other holders of the Obligations as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that, if any of the Obligations are not Paid in Full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that, in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly Paid in Full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Credit Documents, Swap Agreements, Treasury Management Agreements or other documents relating to the Obligations:

(a) the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law; and

(b) the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor.

Section 4.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, Swap Agreements or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article 4 until such time as the Obligations have been Paid in Full.

(ii) there shall be no more than five (5) Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, in the event that a Specified Equity Contribution is made in respect of multiple Financial Covenants each measured as of the end of a single Fiscal Quarter, then such Specified Equity Contribution for such Fiscal Quarter shall count as a single Specified Equity Contribution for purposes of this clause (a)(ii));

(iii) the aggregate amount of Cure Proceeds contributed in respect of any individual Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the minimum amount required to cause the Credit Parties to be in compliance with the applicable Financial Covenant(s) for the applicable Fiscal Quarter in respect of which such Specified Equity Contribution is made;

(iv) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, other than for the express purpose(s), and for the applicable period(s), as described in the foregoing of this Section 9.4;

(v) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness, through either the netting of cash or prepayment of the Term Loans or otherwise, with any Cure Proceeds received by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any other Regulated Entity in respect of any Specified Equity Contribution for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants for any period(s) in respect of which such Specified Equity Contribution is included in Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with this clause (a); and

(vi) the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations with the Cure Proceeds received by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any Regulated Entity in connection with any Specified Equity Contribution in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(iv).

145

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice from the Borrower that it intends, prior to the expiration of the applicable Cure Period (relating to the applicable Fiscal Quarter with respect to which the applicable Financial Covenant violation(s) relate), to effect an equity cure pursuant to this Section 9.4 (any such notice being irrevocable) and until the expiration of such Cure Period, and solely to the extent that no Event of Default exists at such time (other than in respect of a Financial Covenant tested for such Fiscal Quarter), neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be permitted to (i) accelerate the Obligations, (ii) terminate the Commitments, (iii) impose Default Interest, or (iv) exercise remedies under the Credit Documents (including against the Collateral), in each case of the foregoing clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv), solely as a result of such Event(s) of Default resulting from a violation of any Financial Covenant(s) tested for such Fiscal Quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan, and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit, from and after the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter (with respect to which the breach of an applicable Financial Covenant(s) has occurred) until the date on which the applicable Credit Party, Subsidiary or other Regulated Entity shall have received the Cure Proceeds in accordance with this Section 9.4.

Article 10

AGENCY

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Regions Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Credit Party, Subsidiary or other Regulated Entity shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each Collateral Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any Collateral Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the Collateral Documents with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between

146

independent contracting parties. The Collateral Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Collateral and the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and immunities: (i) provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Collateral or the Collateral Documents as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in such Credit Documents included the Collateral Agent with respect to such acts or omissions; and (ii) as additionally provided herein or in the Collateral Documents with respect to the Collateral Agent.

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

Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

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

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

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

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.4 and Section 9.2); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.

147

(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith;

(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default;

(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or

(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent and any assignor of a Loan or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant in any document delivered in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the relevant Assignment Agreement or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is not a Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution, or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

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

148

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

Section 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States (but which shall not be a Disqualified Institution), or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

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

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable): (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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 retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s

149

resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 10 and Section 11.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that: (i) (A) the Credit Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (B) such Lender is engaged in the making, acquiring or holding of 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 credit facilities as set forth in this Agreement, as may be applicable to such Lender, and not, in any event, for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument or any security; and (ii) such Lender is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other credit facilities as set forth in this Agreement, 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, and/or to provide such other credit facilities, as the case may be, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans and/or providing such other credit facilities. Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of any of the foregoing of this clause (b).

Section 10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, Co-Documentation Agents or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (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, Letter of Credit Obligations 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, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

150

(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 judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2).

Section 10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Lenders (including the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien on any Property granted to, or held under, any Credit Document securing the Obligations:

(A) upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of, or to be sold or otherwise disposed of, as part of, or in connection with, any sale or other disposition permitted under the Credit Documents or consented to in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to, or held under, any Credit Document securing the Obligations to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 8.2(m); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents if such Person ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of a transaction permitted under the Credit Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.10.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

151

(c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each holder of the Obligations hereby agree that:

(i) no holder of the Obligations shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent; and

(ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the holders of the Obligations (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all, or any portion, of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(d) No Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Treasury Management Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Qualifying Swap Provider or any Qualifying Treasury Management Bank, respectively that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided herein or in the other Credit Documents. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each such Qualifying Swap Provider and Qualifying Treasury Management Bank shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a holder of the Obligations, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (d). Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that the Qualifying Swap Provider and Qualifying Treasury Management Banks, in their capacity as such, shall not have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral, or to any notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the other Credit Documents) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in any case, only as expressly provided herein.

Section 10.11 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, the Issuing Bank, any other holder(s) of the Obligations or any other Person(s) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other holder(s) of the Obligations (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other recipient(s), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after its receipt of any notice delivered pursuant to clause (b) below) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent, or any of its Affiliates, were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall, at all times, remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other Payment Recipient shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of

152

any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from, and including, the date on which such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to, and including, the date on which such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice delivered from the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting anything in the immediately foregoing clause (a), each Lender, the Issuing Bank, each other holder(s) of the Obligations party hereto and each other Payment Recipient party hereto hereby further agrees that, if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (I) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (II) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (III) that such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other Payment Recipient(s) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case of the foregoing:

(i) (A) in any such case of the immediately preceding clauses (b)(I) or (b)(II), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary), or (B) in any such case of the immediately preceding clause (b)(III), an error has been made, in each case of the foregoing clauses (b)(i)(A) and (b)(i)(B), with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other Payment Recipient(s) shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day of its obtaining knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b).

(c) Each Lender, the Issuing Bank, each other holder of the Obligations party hereto and each other Payment Recipient party hereto hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s) under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations and/or such other Payment Recipient(s) from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with foregoing clause (a), from any Lender, the Issuing Bank, any other holder(s) of the Obligations or any other Payment Recipient(s) that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any other recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on the respective behalf of any of the foregoing) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, at any time: (i) such Lender, the

153

Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall be deemed to have assigned (to the extent it has any such Loans) its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of such Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to Debtdomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, or a substantially similar electronic transmission system as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and further, such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall deliver any Note(s) evidencing any such Loans to the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Administrative Agent, as the assignee Lender, shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment; (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent, as the assignee Lender, shall become a Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other type of holder of the Obligations, as the case may be, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and further, the assigning Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other holder(s) of the Obligations shall cease to be a Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other holder of the Obligations, as the case may be, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, such Person’s obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, Issuing Bank or other holder(s) of the Obligations; and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender, the Issuing Bank, the other applicable holder(s) of the Obligations or the other such applicable Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on the respective behalf of any of the foregoing). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all of the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other applicable holder(s) of the Obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) Each of the parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent that such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

154

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

(g) Each party’s respective obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other holder(s) of the Obligations, the termination of any or all of the Commitments, and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all of the Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 11.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. The Borrower will execute and deliver on request, at its own expense, a Note to the assignee evidencing the interests taken by way of assignment hereunder. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (other than an assignment or transfer to a Disqualified Institution) 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 clause (d) below.

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

165

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Credit Party, a Subsidiary, another Regulated Entity, another Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all, or a portion, of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all, or a portion, of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.2(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (b) or (c) of Section 11.4 that affects such Participant; provided, further, that, any such agreement or instrument shall require the applicable Participant to represent and warrant for the benefit of the Borrower and such Lender that such Participant is not a Disqualified Institution. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.2, Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above; provided, that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 and Section 3.4 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) below, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a Lender; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103–1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

166

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, or any promissory notes evidencing its interests hereunder, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.5 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a party hereto.

(f) Disqualified Institution.

(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date on which the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇ entered into an Assignment Agreement or participation agreement, as applicable, with such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment to such entity, in which case, such entity will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment).

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (f)(i) above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, and (B) in the case of an outstanding portion of any Term Loan held by such Disqualified Institution, prepay or purchase such portion of the Term Loans, in each case, plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts payable to such Disqualified Institution hereunder; provided, that, the Borrower may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to repay outstanding Obligations owing to a Disqualified Institution pursuant to the foregoing clauses (f)(ii)(A) and (f)(ii)(B).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Disqualified Institutions (x) will not have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to the Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and (y) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Competitor will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to post the Disqualified Institution List on the Platform, including the portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or provide the Disqualified Institution List to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 11.6 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that, if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 11.7 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements

167

of each Credit Party set forth in Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 11.2, Section 11.3, and Section 11.10, and the agreements of the Lenders and the Agents set forth in Section 2.14, Section 10.3 and Section 11.2(c), shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation, expiration or cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit, and the termination hereof.

Section 11.8 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Treasury Management Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 11.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.10 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to Section 10.10(c), each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.12 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

168

Section 11.13 Applicable Laws.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except, as to any other Credit Document, as expressly set forth therein), and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, shall be construed in accordance with, and be governed by, the law of the State of New York.

Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action 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.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in clause (b) above.

EACH PARTY HERETO: (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

169

Section 11.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed:

(a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential);

(b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners);

(d) to any other party hereto;

(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder;

(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to:

(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (including, for purposes hereof, any new lenders invited to join hereunder on an increase in the Loans and Commitments hereunder, whether by exercise of an accordion, by way of amendment or otherwise), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or

(ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower or its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder;

(g) on a confidential basis to:

(i) any rating agency in connection with rating any of the Credit Parties, Subsidiaries or other Regulated Entities, or any of the credit facilities provided for herein; or

(ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency or organization in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein;

(h) with the consent of the Borrower;

(i) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15; or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or

(j) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense.

170

In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers (including potential or actual credit insurers and re-insurers) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any other Regulated Entity relating to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any other Regulated Entity, or any of the respective businesses of any of the foregoing, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party, Subsidiary or other Regulated Entity; provided, that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any other Regulated Entity after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.15 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 Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledges that:

(A) the Information may include material non-public information concerning any Credit Party, any Subsidiary and/or any other Regulated Entity, as the case may be;

(B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and

(C) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in this Section 11.15 shall prohibit any individual from communicating or disclosing information (including any Information) regarding suspected violations of Applicable Law to a Governmental Authority or applicable self-regulatory authority.

Section 11.16 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Laws shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and each of the Credit Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans or be refunded to each of the applicable Credit

171

Parties. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws:

(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest;

(b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and

(c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 11.17 Electronic Execution; Counterparts.

(a) Electronic Execution. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that: (i) the electronic signature of any party to this Agreement or to any other Credit Document shall be as valid as an original “wet” signature of such party thereto, and further, that such signature shall be effective to bind such party to this Agreement or to such other Credit Document, as applicable; and (ii) any electronically signed document (including, without limitation, this Agreement and each other Credit Document) shall be deemed to (A) be “written” or “in writing”, (B) have been signed, (C) constitute a record established and maintained in the ordinary course of business, and (D) constitute an original written record when printed from electronic files. Such paper copies or “printouts”, if introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitral, mediation or administrative proceeding, will be admissible as between the parties to the same extent, and under the same conditions, as other original business records created and maintained in documentary form. None of the parties hereto shall contest the admissibility of true and accurate copies of electronically signed documents on the basis of the best evidence rule or as not satisfying the business records exception to the hearsay rule. For purposes of this Section 11.17: (I) “electronic signature” shall mean a manually-signed original signature that is then transmitted by electronic means; (II) “transmitted by electronic means” shall mean sent in the form of a facsimile or sent via the internet as a “.pdf” (portable document format) or other replicating image attached to an e-mail message; and (III) “electronically signed document” shall mean a document transmitted by electronic means and containing, or to which there is affixed, an electronic signature.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Credit Document may be executed by one (1) or more of the parties to this Agreement or such other Credit Document (as the case may be) on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts shall, taken together, be deemed to constitute one (1) and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, by facsimile transmission or any other electronic mail in “.pdf” format, shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Credit Document.

Section 11.18 No Advisory of Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that:

(a)

(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand;

172

(ii) the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and

(iii) each of the Credit Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents;

(b)

(i) the Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates or any other Person; and

(ii) the Administrative Agent does not have any obligation to any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and

(c) the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent does not have any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Credit Party or its Affiliates.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Credit Parties hereby waives and releases, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 11.19 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 5, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 11.20 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies each of the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each of the Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 11.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent that such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and each party hereto 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 that may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if

173

applicable, (i) a reduction, in full or in part, or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion, of such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to, 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 Credit 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.

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

Section 11.23 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs.

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

(b) In the event that a Covered Entity that is a party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the Laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event that a Covered Party, or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party, becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
