Alternative Currency Loans exceeds the lesser of (1) the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders minus the sum of all outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, Competitive Bid Loans and Swingline Loans and (2) the Alternative Currency Commitment, then, in each such case, such excess shall be immediately repaid in the currency in which such Revolving Loan(s) were initially funded by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

c.Swingline Commitment. If at any time (as determined by the Administrative Agent under Section 2.05(b)(iv)), based upon the Equivalent Dollar Amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, and for any reason the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders minus the sum of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Competitive Bid Loans and (B) the Swingline Commitment, then, in each such case, such excess shall be immediately repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

a.Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding the Loans; Assumption by the Administrative Agent

. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest, until paid, (a) with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars for each day after the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first day such payment is not made, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (c), as the case may be, and (b) with respect to any Loan denominated in a Permitted Alternative Currency, for each day after the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount for the first day such payment is not made, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (c), as the case may be. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.14 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Percentage of any Loan requested by a Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Pro Rata Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Pro Rata Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any Lender that fails to make available its Pro Rata Percentage of any Loan shall not (a) have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or (b) constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of Required Lenders hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, in each case, as described further in Section 2.27.

a.Redenomination of Eurocurrency Loans

.

i.Conversion to the Base Rate. If any Eurocurrency Loan or RFR Loan denominated in Sterling is required to bear interest based at the Alternate Base Rate rather than the LIBO RateBenchmark pursuant to Section 2.09(c), Section 2.17 or any other applicable provision hereof, such Loan shall be funded in Dollars in an amount equal to the Equivalent Dollar Amount of such Eurocurrency Loan or RFR Loan, all subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b). The Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders

upon any such conversion for any amounts required to be paid under Section 2.18.

ii.Redenomination of Loans. Subject to Section 1.03, any Loan to be denominated in the currency of the applicable Participating Member State shall be made in Euro.

iii.Redenomination of Obligations. Subject to Section 1.03, any obligation of any party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document which has been denominated in the currency of a Participating Member State shall be redenominated into Euro.

iv.Further Assurances. The terms and provisions of this Agreement will be subject to such changes of construction as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower to reflect the implementation of the EMU in any Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced and to reflect market practice at that time, and subject thereto, to put the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been if such implementation had not occurred. In connection therewith, the Borrower agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, at the time of or at any time following the implementation of the EMU in any Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in consultation with the Borrower.

b. Extension of Maturity Date

.

i.The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not less than 45 days and not more than 90 days prior to each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Closing Date (each anniversary, an “Anniversary Date”), request that each Lender extend such Lender’s then current Maturity Date to the date (the “New Maturity Date”) that is one year after the then current Maturity Date. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than the date (the “Consent Date”) that is 20 days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date (provided that, if such date is not a Business Day, the Consent Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day), advise the Administrative Agent as to:

a.whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension of its then current Maturity Date (each Lender so agreeing to such extension being an “Extending Lender”); and

b.only if such Lender is an Extending Lender, whether or not such Lender also irrevocably offers to increase the amount of its Commitment (each Lender so offering to increase its Commitment being an “Increasing Lender” as well as an Extending Lender) and, if so, the amount of the additional Commitment such Lender so irrevocably offers to assume

hereunder (such Lender’s “Proposed Additional Commitment”).

Each Lender that determines not to extend its then current Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders) of such fact promptly after such determination but in any event no later than the Consent Date, and any Lender that does not advise the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the Consent Date shall be deemed to be a Non‑Extending Lender and (without limiting the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.16(c)) shall have no liability to the Borrower in connection therewith. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.16(a) no later than the date 15 days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

i.(i) If all of the Lenders are Extending Lenders, then, effective as of the Consent Date, the then current Maturity Date of each Lender shall be extended to the New Maturity Date, and the respective Commitments of the Lenders will not be subject to change at such Consent Date pursuant to this Section 2.16.

i.If and only if the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Extending Lenders plus (y) the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Commitments of the Increasing Lenders (such sum, the “Extending Commitments”) shall be equal to at least 50% of the then total Commitments, then:

1.effective as of the Consent Date, the then current Maturity Date of each Extending Lender shall be extended to the New Maturity Date;

2.the Borrower shall (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) have the right, but not the obligation, to take either of the following actions with respect to each Non-Extending Lender during the period commencing on the Consent Date and ending on the immediately succeeding Anniversary Date:

(X) the Borrower may elect by notice to the Administrative Agent and such Non-Extending Lender that the Maturity Date of such Non-Extending Lender be changed to a date (which date shall be specified in such notice) on or prior to such immediately succeeding Anniversary Date (and, upon the giving of such notice, the Initial Maturity Date of such Non-Extending Lender shall be so changed); or

(Y) the Borrower may replace such Non-Extending Lender as a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.16(c); and

1.the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Extending Lenders (and to no other Lenders) an extension fee, provided that if such fee is paid, it will be shared on a ratable basis among the Extending Lenders.

a.If neither of the conditions specified in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 2.16(b) is satisfied, then neither the then current Maturity Date nor the Commitment of any Lender

will change pursuant to this Section 2.16 on such Consent Date, and the Borrower will not have the right to take any of the actions specified in Section 2.16(b)(ii)(B).

ii.Replacement by the Borrower of Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(ii)(B)(Y) shall be effected as follows (certain terms being used in this Section 2.16(c) having the meanings assigned to them in Section 2.16(d)) on the relevant Assignment Date:

a.the Assignors shall severally assign and transfer to the Assignees, and the Assignees shall severally purchase and assume from the Assignors, all of the Assignors’ rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the Assignors’ respective Commitments) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;

b.each Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Assignors, an amount equal to such Assignee’s Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans then held by the Assignors; and

c.the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Assignors, all interest, fees and other amounts (other than principal of outstanding Loans) then due and owing to the Assignors by the Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, payments due such Assignors, if any, under Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, 2.20, and 9.05).

The assignments provided for in this Section 2.16(c) shall be effected on the relevant Assignment Date in accordance with Section 9.04 and pursuant to one or more Assignments and Acceptances. After giving effect to such assignments, each Assignee shall have a Commitment hereunder (which, if such Assignee was a Lender hereunder immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, shall be in addition to such Assignee’s existing Commitment) in an amount equal to the amount of its Assumed Commitment representing a Commitment. Upon any such termination or assignment, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be obligated under Section 8.07 and be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05, as well as to any fees and other amounts accrued for its account under Sections 2.07, 2.17(c), 2.18 or 2.20 and not yet paid.

i.For purposes of this Section 2.16 the following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

“Assigned Commitments” means the Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders to be replaced pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(ii)(B)(Y).

“Assignees” means, at any time, Increasing Lenders and, if the Assigned Commitments exceed the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Commitments, one or more New Lenders.

“Assignment Date” means the Anniversary Date or such earlier date as shall be acceptable to the Borrower, the relevant Assignors, the relevant Assignees and the Administrative Agent.

“Assignors” means, at any time, the Lenders to be replaced by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(ii)(B)(Y).

The “Assumed Commitment” of each Assignee shall be determined as follows:

(a) If the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Commitments of all of the Increasing Lenders shall exceed the aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments, then (i) the amount of the Assumed Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be equal to (x) the aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to such Increasing

Lender’s Commitment as then in effect and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Increasing Lenders as then in effect; and (ii) no New Lender shall be entitled to become a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.16(c) (and, accordingly, each New Lender shall have an Assumed Commitment of zero).

(b) If the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Commitments of all of the Increasing Lenders shall be less than or equal to the aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments, then: (i) the amount of the Assumed Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be equal to such Increasing Lender’s Proposed Additional Commitment; and (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments over the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Commitments shall be allocated among New Lenders in such a manner as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree.

“New Lender” means an Eligible Assignee approved by the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has requested to become a Lender hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.16.

“Share” means, as to any Assignee, a fraction the numerator of which is equal to such Assignee’s Assumed Commitment and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Assumed Commitments of all the Assignees.

i.In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16 (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05 and 2.06 and Article VII), the aggregate principal amount of all Loans shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the New Maturity Date. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Initial Maturity Date” or the “Maturity Date”, as applicable, shall refer to the New Maturity Date.

ii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11(c) and Section 9.08 to the contrary.

c.Changed Circumstances

.

i.Circumstances Affecting LIBO Rate, LIBOR Market Index Rate and Permitted Alternative Currency Availability. (i) If with respect to any Interest Period for any Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loan the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine that (A) by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollarsDollars or a Permitted Alternative Currency in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 or the applicable Reuters Screen Page (the “Screen Rate”) or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest Period, (B) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Permitted Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls) or (C) it has become otherwise materially impractical for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to make such Loan in a Permitted Alternative Currency, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Floating Rate Loans, RFR Loans denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to

or continue any Loan as a Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, or convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, to an ABR Loan in Dollars as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that (A) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i)(A) of this Section 2.17 have arisen, (B) the circumstances set forth in such clause (a)(i)(A) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or be used for determining interest rates for loans in a Permitted Currency, (C) any Applicable Reference Rate is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in a Permitted Currency or (D) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.17(a), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace any Applicable Reference Rate, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith and endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in the applicable Permitted Currency at such time, and shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (including any adjustments to the Applicable Percentage) to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may determine to be appropriate. Such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party to this Agreement other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days after the date that a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (a)(ii) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) above, only to the extent the Screen Rate is not available or published at such time on a current basis), the interest rate applicable to all outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Eurocurrency Loans shall be determined in accordance with clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any alternate rate of interest established pursuant to this clause (a)(ii) shall be negative, such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent per annum (0.00%) for the purposes of this Agreement.

i.Laws Affecting LIBO Rate, LIBOR Market Index Rate and Permitted Alternative Currency Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable

agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or any Eurocurrency Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of such Lender to make Floating Rate Loans, RFR Loans denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrower to convert or continue any Loan made by such Lender as a Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and (ii) if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain a Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as a Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, the applicable Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or an Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, shall immediately be converted to an ABR Loan in Dollars for the remainder of such Interest Period.

ii.Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

a.except as provided in Section 2.20(e), subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for any Taxes covered by Section 2.20(c) or Excluded Taxes);

b.impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices); or

c.impose on any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining any Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling, Competitive Bid Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement or under the Loans in respect of a Floating Rate Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling, Competitive Bid Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction. The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Pro Rata Percentage of the Floating Rate Loans, RFR Loan

denominated in Sterling, Competitive Bid Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, in the London interbank market and using any attribution or averaging methods which such Lender reasonably deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

i.Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The Borrower shall, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, (iii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of, the Euro, or (iv) any currency exchange loss, that Administrative Agent or any Lender sustains as a result of any payment being made by a Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to the Borrower or as a result of any other currency exchange loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender under this Agreement. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

d.Indemnity

. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any foreign exchange costs, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurodollar Loan, Term RFR Loan, Competitive Bid Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, Competitive Bid Request or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or, (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan, Term RFR Loan, Competitive Bid Loan or Eurocurrency Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (d) due to the payment of any principal of any Daily Simple RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date therefor, (e) due to the conversion of any Daily Simple RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date therefor, (f) due to the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (g) due to the assignment of any Daily Simple RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.26. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Pro Rata Percentage, as applicable, of the Eurodollar Loan, RFR Loan, Competitive Bid Loan or Eurocurrency Loan in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

a.Capital Requirements

. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by, any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to this Agreement, the Loans, the Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and other commitments of this type, below the rate which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then within five (5) Business Days after written demand by any such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or other corporation for such reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumed to be correct and binding for all purposes.

a.Taxes

.

i.Payments Free and Clear. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.20(e), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Loans shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or is or should be qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.26), any withholding tax that is imposed under any law in effect at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.20(a), (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender, is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of any Change in Law) to comply with Section 2.20(e) and (v) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities not excluded by items (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes,” and all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities described in items (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (A) except as otherwise provided in Section

2.20(e), the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and such Lender evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in the manner provided in Section 2.20(d).

ii.Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans or the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereof (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

iii.Indemnity. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.20(e), the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such indemnification shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(c) shall prevent the Borrower from pursuing, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, the refund of any such Taxes or Other Taxes from the Foreign Lender which paid, or upon whose behalf the Borrower paid, such Taxes or Other Taxes if the Borrower in good faith believes such taxes were incorrectly or illegally asserted.

iv.Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

v.Delivery of Tax Forms. To the extent required by Applicable Law to reduce or eliminate withholding or payment of taxes, each Lender and the Administrative

Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance or any accession agreement executed and delivered in accordance with Section 2.24 or 2.28(a), as applicable, two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, Forms W-8ECI, Forms W-8BEN or Forms W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor forms) properly completed and certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income taxes and backup withholding taxes. Each such Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, two Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI (or successor forms) that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (unless in any such case an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes) and, in the case of a Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under Section 2.20 or Section 2.17(c), (i) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.20(e), other than to the extent that such failure is due to a Change in Law occurring after the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent became a party to this Agreement or (ii) that are the result of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as applicable.

vi.Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and Lenders contained in this Section 2.20 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments of all Lenders.

vii.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount

equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

viii.Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded 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 Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h). The agreements in this paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

b.Mitigation by Lenders

. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 2.19, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall 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, solely in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17, Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be practically disadvantageous to such Lender. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to such Sections for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

a.General Policy of Lenders

. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances and unless such demand is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of comparable borrowers of such Lender with respect to similarly affected commitments or loans; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose confidential information relating to its other borrowers to establish its general policies or practices with respect to such compensation.

a.Rounding and Other Consequential Changes

. Subject to Section 1.03, without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU Legislation and without prejudice to the respective obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to combine currencies to effect a set-off, shall be subject to such reasonable changes of interpretation as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or change over to the Euro in Participating Member States.

a.Increase in Commitments

.

i.After the Closing Date but prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to request from time to time additional Commitments (collectively, the “Additional Commitments”) in an aggregate amount that, when combined with all prior Incremental Term Loan Facilities, does not exceed $250,000,000, each which request shall be made by the Borrower giving written notice (the “Additional Commitment Notice”) to the Administrative Agent such details with respect thereto as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Each request for Additional Commitments shall request Additional Commitments in an amount not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent). Upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the existing Lenders of the requested Additional Commitments and offer each such Lender an opportunity to participate at its sole discretion in the Additional Commitments. Any existing Lender that does not agree (in its sole discretion) to provide a portion of the proposed Additional Commitments within 10 days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of such notice shall be deemed to have declined participation in any amount of such proposed Additional Commitments. Notwithstanding any existing Lender’s rejection of any portion of the proposed Additional Commitments, each existing Lender shall remain a Lender hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. In addition, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may offer to additional proposed Lenders that qualify as Eligible Assignees (including any required consent of the Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the opportunity to accept all or a portion of the amount of the proposed Additional Commitments. The allocation of the Additional Commitments among the Lenders and Eligible Assignees who agree to accept any portion thereof

shall be made by the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the Additional Commitments, (i) each Eligible Assignee (that is not an existing Lender) which has been allocated any portion of the Additional Commitments shall execute an accession agreement to this Agreement, (ii) the Commitments of the existing Lenders which have been allocated any portion of the Additional Commitments shall be increased by such amount, (iii) the Pro Rata Percentages of the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations, (iv) if applicable, and subject to the payment of applicable amounts pursuant to Section 2.18 in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made such borrowings and repayments of the Revolving Loans, and the Lenders shall make such adjustments of outstanding Revolving Loans between and among them, as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Commitments such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Commitments and (v) other changes shall be made to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or make new Commitments in response to the Borrower’s request for an increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24 and which other changes do not adversely affect the rights of those Lenders who do not elect to increase their respective Commitments, in each case without the consent of the Lenders other than those Lenders increasing their Commitments.

ii.Notwithstanding the foregoing, an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24(a) shall be effective only if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date such increase is to become effective; (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the date of the Additional Commitment Notice and the date such increase is to become effective with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warrant is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the authorization of such increase.

b.Special Provisions Regarding Revolving Loans

.

i.Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (x) all then outstanding RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted into EurodollarABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Equivalent Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and Eurocurrency Loans on the date such Sharing Event first occurred, which EurodollarABR Loans denominated in

Dollars (i) shall thereafter be deemed to be ABR Loans and (ii), unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments of all Lenders pursuant to clause (i) in the last paragraph of Article VII, shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred) and (y) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments of all Lenders, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and Eurocurrency Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking the Equivalent Dollar Amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts.

ii.Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be made, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any outstanding RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and Eurocurrency Loans (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and Eurocurrency Loans had originally been made in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant Lenders (or their affiliates) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders which made such Revolving Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the Commitments of the Lenders and the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender shall be automatically terminated.

c.Replacement of Certain Lenders

. In the event any Lender (a) shall have requested additional compensation from the Borrower under Section 2.17(c), Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, (b) shall have given notice under Section 2.17 of its inability to make or maintain as such any Eurocurrency Loan, RFR Loan denominated in Sterling or Floating Rate Loan, (c) is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, (d) shall have refused to make Revolving Loans in requested Alternative Currencies under Section 1.05, (e) is a Non-Consenting Lender, or (f) is a Designated Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Lender (each, a “Departing Lender”) to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 9.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, however, that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any Applicable Law, (ii) the Borrower shall have received a written consent of the Administrative Agent in the case of an assignee that is not a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Departing Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it hereunder. If such Departing Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (x) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (y) the date on which the Departing Lender receives all payments described in clause (iii), then such Departing Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled

(but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Departing Lender.

a.Defaulting Lenders

. 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 9.08(b) and the definition of “Required Lenders”.

ii.Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan; 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 such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; 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 such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or of any funded participations in Swingline Loans for which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Loans or funded participations in Swingline Loans were made at a time when the

conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and funded participations in Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being ap
