For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein solely to the extent such event applies to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

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

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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.08 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.08.

SECTION 2.02 Loans.

(a) Each Loan made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made (or deemed made) by the Lenders in the amounts set forth in Section 2.01; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. In order to request the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver a fully executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, not less than one Business Day before such proposed Borrowing. Such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (but subject to the consummation of the Transactions), and shall specify the following information: (1) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing;(2) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); and (3) if such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made or exchanged hereunder, the Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein.

SECTION 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Interest Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time (such interest, “ABR Interest”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Interest Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time (such interest, “SOFR Interest”, and together with ABR Interest, “Interest”).

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07 Default Interest. At all times during which an Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower shall pay interest on all unpaid Obligations hereunder at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to 2.00% per annum above the then-applicable rate.

SECTION 2.08 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.08, if:

(i) (x) the Administrative Agent determines (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period and (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for such Interest Period, and (y) the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower jointly elect to replace the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable; or

(ii) (x) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period and (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing and (y) the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower jointly elect to replace the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new notice pursuant to Section 2.10, any notice pursuant to Section 2.10 that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a notice pursuant to Section 2.10 for an ABR Borrowing. If any SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.08(a) with respect to a rate applicable to such SOFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y)

the Borrower delivers a new notice pursuant to Section 2.10, any SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Borrowing bearing interest based upon the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.08(a)(i) or (ii) above and such joint election is made or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.08(a)(i) or (ii) above or such joint election is not made, on such day.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes).

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.08, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.08.

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

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for any conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have made a request for a conversion to (A) a Borrowing of Loans bearing interest based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the rate applicable to such SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.08, any SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Borrowing of Loans bearing interest based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall consider in good faith any proposal reasonably requested by the Borrower and not adverse to the Lenders that is intended to ensure a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.08 meets the standards set forth in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6 (or any successor United States Treasury Regulations or other official IRS guidance promulgated that expands upon or supersedes such United States Treasury Regulations), such that the use of such Benchmark Replacement would not be treated as a “significant modification” (and therefore not an exchange) of any Loans for purposes of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3.

SECTION 2.09 Termination of Commitment to Exchange. The Lenders’ commitment to exchange their Existing Exit Term Loans shall be automatically terminated immediately after the exchange of the requisite amount of Loans pursuant to Section 2.01 on the Closing Date.

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any SOFR Borrowing (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iii) if any SOFR Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(iv) any portion of a Borrowing of any Loans maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a SOFR Borrowing;

(v) any portion of a SOFR Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a SOFR Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and

(vi) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a SOFR Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any SOFR Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued as a SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.

SECTION 2.11 Repayment of Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.12 Optional Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent received before 11:00 a.m., New York City time at least three Business Days’ in advance of the prepayment date in the case of SOFR Loans, or at least one Business Day in advance of the prepayment date in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

(b) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share of the outstanding Loans at the time.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing in the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request additional loans to be made hereunder from one or more Incremental Term Lenders (which may but need not include any existing Lender) willing to provide such loans in their sole discretion; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any prospective lender’s provision of such loans if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans to such prospective lender. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of Loans being requested, (ii) the date on which such Loans are requested to be made (or commitments therefor established) and (iii) whether such Loans will have terms identical to (other than in respect of any fees relating thereto) any class of Loans outstanding at such time or different from all classes of Loans outstanding at such time (any such loans advanced pursuant to this Section 2.13, “Incremental Term Loans”).

(b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders shall reasonably specify to evidence the commitment of such Incremental Term Lender to advance any such Incremental Term Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loans shall be made hereunder unless immediately after giving effect thereto such Loans are permitted to be incurred and outstanding under clause (i) or (iii) of the definition of Permitted Debt as of the date of incurrence.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to the extent necessary to incorporate the existence, structure (including as delayed draw commitments) and terms of any Incremental Term Loans (including to have such commitments or Loans included in the definition of Required Lenders, provide for tranche voting or form a single class with any Loans outstanding at such time). In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to any Incremental Term Loans that are Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.14 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate), shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity 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 or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall 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) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any SOFR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that SOFR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into SOFR Loans, whereupon any request for a SOFR Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a SOFR Borrowing or to continue a SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding SOFR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the SOFR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted SOFR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such SOFR Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each SOFR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such SOFR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16 Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but not against any lost profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any SOFR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any SOFR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any SOFR Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the SOFR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or in connection with a Permitted Loan Purchase, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (excluding means expressly contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Xxxxxx had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19 Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Xxxxxx. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.

(b) 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 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, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 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 2.20) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and 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 such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or 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 law 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 sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (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,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about 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), an executed copy 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 about 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:

(1) 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 Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN 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;

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-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 D-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 about 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), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the 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 this Agreement or 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 Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (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.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or any other Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent 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 or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), 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 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) 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) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.21 Assignment of Loans under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender

to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) or (v) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Loans that are the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification or in respect of which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20); provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Xxxxxx’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Xxxxxx as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Xxxxxx’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01 Company Status.

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.03 hereof, the Borrower will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of New Pyxus Topco may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 6.03 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

(iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value (i) any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Credit Facility or the Guarantees thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Notes Obligations), (ii) any Junior Lien Debt or (iii) any unsecured Indebtedness for borrowed money, in each case, of the Borrower or any Guarantor (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor and/or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries), and, except, in each case, a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; provided that the provisions of this clause (iii) shall apply only to direct Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor and shall not be deemed to apply to any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (including any such Indebtedness guaranteed by the Borrower or any Guarantor); or

(iv) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”); however, the Borrower, the Parent Guarantors and their Restricted Subsidiaries may make Restricted Payments if, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(ii) New Pyxus Topco would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 6.03(a) hereof; and

(iii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrower, the Parent Guarantors and their Restricted Subsidiaries since the Closing Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01), is less than the sum, without duplication of:

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by New Pyxus Topco since the Closing Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Qualifying Equity Interests of New Pyxus Topco or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock of New Pyxus Topco or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of New Pyxus Topco, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualifying Equity Interests of New Pyxus Topco (other than Qualifying Equity Interests and convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of New Pyxus Topco); plus

(C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Closing Date is (a) sold for cash or otherwise cancelled, liquidated or repaid for cash, or (b) made in an entity that subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor, the initial amount of such Restricted Investment (or, if less, the amount of cash received upon repayment or sale); plus

(D) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such after the Closing Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Borrower’s or Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date hereof; plus

(E) 50% of any dividends received in cash by the Borrower, a Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or Parent Guarantor, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower for such period.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.01(a) hereof will not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor) of, Equity Interests of New Pyxus Topco (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to New Pyxus Topco; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Qualifying Equity Interests for purposes of clause (iii)(B) of the preceding paragraph;

(iii) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of a Parent Guarantor to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(iv) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or to any Guarantee thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Notes Obligations) with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(v) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement; provided, that the aggregate amounts paid under this clause (v) do not exceed $7.5 million in any fiscal year; provided, further, that the amount paid for such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition in any twelve-month period may be increased by an amount not to exceed:

(A) [reserved];

(B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Borrower, a Parent Guarantor or their Restricted Subsidiaries after the date hereof; and

in addition, cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor from any current or former officer, director or employee (or any permitted transferees thereof) of the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (or any direct or indirect parent company thereof), in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of New Pyxus Topco from such Persons will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provisions of this Agreement;

(vi) the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options or warrants;

(vii) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of New Pyxus Topco or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor issued on or after the date hereof in accordance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 6.03(a) or any other Permitted Debt;

(viii) payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares upon (a) the exercise of options or warrants or (b) the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person;

(ix) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other Restricted Payments approved by the Board of Directors of New Pyxus TopCo in an aggregate amount, taken together with all Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (ix), not to exceed $35.0 million since the Closing Date;

(x) [reserved];

(xi) [reserved]; and

(xii) Permitted Payments to Parent.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Borrower, such Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 6.01 will be determined by the Board of Directors of New Pyxus Topco whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Such Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds $20.0 million.

The Borrower and the Parent Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value the Existing Notes Obligations (except a payment of scheduled interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof) (x) at any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof or (y) in contravention of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements.

SECTION 6.02 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Borrower and the Parent Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of New Pyxus Topco to:

(ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(iii) agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.03 and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that (A) the restrictions are ordinary and customary with respect to the type of Indebtedness being incurred and (B) such encumbrances or restrictions will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make payments of principal or interest on the Loans, as determined at the time such Indebtedness is incurred in good faith by the senior management of New Pyxus Topco;

(xiv) the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (a) $950 million and (b) the sum of (x) 65% of Eligible Inventory, plus (y) 65% of Permitted Advances on Purchases of Tobacco, plus (z) 85% of Eligible Receivables, and any Guarantees of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor;

(xv) Guarantees by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries which are incurred in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding;

(xvi) Guarantees by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries which are incurred in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of carrying unsold tobacco inventories held against Confirmed Orders and other Guarantees by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business with respect to Uncommitted Inventories in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Uncommitted Inventories; and

(xvii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any Guarantor of unsecured Indebtedness or Junior Lien Debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million at any time outstanding; and

(xviii) guarantees by any Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of the Netherlands under and pursuant to a liability statement pursuant to section 2:403 sub f of the Dutch Civil Code (“403 verklaring”) and/or by any such Subsidiaries forming part of a fiscal unity (fiscale eenheid) in the Netherlands or equivalent tax groupings in other jurisdictions.

The Borrower and the Parent Guarantors will not incur, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Parent Guarantors or such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Credit Facility and the Guarantees thereof on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on junior priority basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xviii) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.03(a) hereof, the Borrower will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 6.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Indebtedness described in clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Debt shall be deemed incurred under the applicable subclause of clause (i) and may not be reclassified.

The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Borrower as accrued. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

SECTION 6.04 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

Neither the Borrower nor any Parent Guarantor will, directly or indirectly: (a) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor is the surviving Person), or (b) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of New Pyxus Topco and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(i) either:

(A) the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor is the surviving corporation; or

(B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to supplements hereto and thereto, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(iv) the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made: would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (a) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 6.03(a) hereof or (b) have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than the actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for New Pyxus Topco for such four-quarter period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Pyxus Topco will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

This Section 6.04 will not apply to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower. Clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first paragraph of this Section 6.04 will not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor:

(a) with or into one of its Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose; or

(b) with or into an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor in another jurisdiction.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 6.04 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall

succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Agreement referring to the “Borrower” or such “Parent Guarantor” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor, as applicable, under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Borrower or Parent Guarantor, as applicable, shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans except in the case of a sale of all of the Borrower’s or such Parent Guarantor’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 6.04 hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) neither Intabex nor Alliance One Xxxxx International B.V. shall, directly or indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into any Person or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person; provided, that this clause (x) will not apply to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease, merger, consolidation or other disposition of assets between or among Intabex and its Subsidiaries so long as, in the case of any consolidation or merger involving Intabex, Intabex shall survive any such transaction and the Equity Interests of AO Brazil are 100% (directly or indirectly) owned by Intabex, and (y) the Senior Collateral Agent shall maintain its security interest in, and perfected Lien on, 100% of the Equity Interests of (i) Intabex and (ii) AO Brazil (or any successor of AO Brazil) at all times.

SECTION 6.05 Transactions with Affiliates.

The Borrower and the Parent Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction or series of transactions with any officer, director, shareholder or Affiliate other than (a) transactions between the Borrower, the Guarantors and/or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices as of the date hereof, (b) transactions on terms and conditions substantially as favorable as would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person other than an officer, director, shareholder or Affiliate, (c) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, (d) any Corporate Restructuring Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to such Corporate Restructuring Transactions and (e) tax sharing agreements between the Borrower, the Guarantors and/or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries which provide for payments that would be permitted under this Agreement as Tax Payments if such payments were made as dividends or similar distributions.

SECTION 6.07 Business Activities.

The Borrower and each of the Parent Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage directly or indirectly in any business other than the businesses engaged in by each of them and their Restricted Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and reasonable extensions thereof and businesses ancillary or complementary thereto.

SECTION 6.08 [Reserved].

SECTION 6.09 Asset Sales.

The Borrower and the Parent Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(a) the Borrower (or the applicable Parent Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(b) at least 75% (100% in the case of lease payments) of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Borrower (or the applicable Parent Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) is received in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that in the event of an Asset Sale of any property or assets of New Pyxus Topco that are surplus from the standpoint of New Pyxus Topco as a whole, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of New Pyxus Topco (as evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent), at least 60% of the consideration therefor received is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(i) any liabilities, as shown on New Pyxus Topco’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Credit Facility or any Guarantee thereof) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Borrower, such Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Borrower, any such Parent Guarantor or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Borrower, such Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(iii) net proceeds from an Asset Sale applied to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business; provided, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Parent Guarantor, it shall be or become a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or such Parent Guarantor; and

(iv) net proceeds from an Asset Sale applied to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Cash Equivalents).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Senior Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable (nor shall any Lender or Loan Party have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent) for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

101

or refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code. Each 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also 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. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(e) The Agents are not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Agents shall not be responsible for any unsuitability, inadequacy, expiration or unfitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other security documents pertaining to this matter nor shall it be obligated to make any investigation into, and shall be entitled to assume, the adequacy and fitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other security document pertaining to this matter. In no event shall the Agents be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if such loss or damage was foreseeable or it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Agents be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

(f) Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their activities as Agent.

(g) Subject to the following sentence, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01 or 7.05, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retirement of the retiring Agent shall become effective on such 30th day and the retiring Agent may (but shall not have any obligation to do so), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01 or 7.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become

102

vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent. If the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity, the successor entity without any further act will be the successor Administrative Agent or Senior Collateral Agent, as applicable. The rights of the Lenders set forth in this paragraph shall be subject to the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement.

(h) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.02 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (such notification, an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise (individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), provided that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a)(i) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within two Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Lender, such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives 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 Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. An Erroneous Payment Notice made by the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

103

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, it shall be on notice that an error has been made. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.02), the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment (or any portion thereof) is made with funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the proceeds of the Collateral; provided that this Section 8.02 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender or to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.02 and which has not been returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Administrative Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information (as defined below), they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.17); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) any notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facility and (C) all information delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(b), (c), and (f).

105

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

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Each Agent agrees that the receipt of communications by such Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the communications to such Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Xxxxxx’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of either Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 9.05 and 9.17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent or any Lender.

106

SECTION 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it), with notice to the Borrower and the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than $1,000,000 (or, in any case, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Xxxxxx’s Loans) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (provided, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default referred to in Sections 7.01 or 7.05), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and will not apply in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Approved Fund that is managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or by an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages such Lender), (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms, and (iv) all documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to anti-money laundering rules and regulations. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim

107

and that its Loans are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Senior Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Xxxxxxxx’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 9.04(d), and Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall constitute an “Indemnitee” hereunder and be indemnified in accordance with Section 9.05(b) hereunder in connection with serving in such capacity.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

108

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein including the requirements under Section 2.20(e)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant 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), it being understood that the tax forms required under Section 2.20(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, or releasing any Guarantor (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). 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 2.21 with respect to any participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17.

109

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any investor, potential investor, rating agency, commercial paper dealer, collateral manager, servicer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) Each Lender may assign to any Parent Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) (each a “Permitted Loan Purchase”); provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than $100,000 (or, in any case, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Xxxxxx’s Loans) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or via email and (iii) the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to anti-money laundering rules and regulations. Each Permitted Loan Purchase shall, for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Loans and the Borrower shall, upon consummation of any Permitted Loan Purchase, notify the Administrative Agent that the Register be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans.

110

(l) Upon acceptance and recording of a Permitted Loan Purchase pursuant to paragraph (k) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Permitted Loan Purchase may be made at a discount and on a non-pro rata basis, as determined by the assigning Lender and the assignee.

SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by (i) the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation and consummation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Wachtell, Lipton, Xxxxx & Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Arsht & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxxx LLP, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. and Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Advogados, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent in connection with the administration hereof and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant additional jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for the Administrative Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent, and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.05, including in connection with any action, litigation, or other dispute or proceeding related to the Transactions, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant additional jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for all Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any related transaction and the other transactions contemplated thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan

111

Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower, the Parent Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted primarily from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (2) a material breach of the obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or of any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of the foregoing under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) (excluding, in each case of clauses (1) and (2), for the avoidance of doubt, any Indemnitee’s participation in the Transactions) or (y) result from any proceeding (other than a proceeding against a party hereto acting pursuant to this Agreement or in its capacity as such or of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnitees not arising from any act or omission of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent of the foregoing) in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Xxxxxx’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the outstanding Loans at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or the Borrower and each of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any Loan Document or other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations above to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder

(e) No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or

112

provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable, within 30 days of written demand therefor with a reasonably detailed summary of the amounts claimed.

SECTION 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, provided that at such time such obligations are due or payable. The rights of each Lender and Affiliates of such Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender may have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Secured Party expressly waives its right of setoff (and any similar right including bankers’ liens) with respect to all lockboxes, deposit accounts and other cash management accounts maintained by any grantor and into which any collections for Government Accounts are deposited. For purposes hereof, “Government Accounts” means all accounts on which any federal or state government unit or any intermediary for any federal or state government unit is the obligor.

SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

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

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof, may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, extend the date for payment of any fees or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or reduce the amount of any fee payable hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the sharing provisions of Section 2.18, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this

113

SECTION 9.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or

115

reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.10 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

SECTION 9.13 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.14 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any

116

Communication shall be valid and binding on each of the Loan Parties to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

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.

117

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court.

Each of the Loan Parties (other than any Loan Party organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) further agrees to take any and all such action as may be necessary to maintain the designation and appointment of the Process Agent in full force in effect for a period of three years following the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder (other than contingent amounts not then due and payable); provided, that if the Process Agent shall cease to act as such, each such Loan Party agrees to promptly designate a new authorized designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 9.17 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers, and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.17, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17. For the purposes of this Section 9.17, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided that any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Senior Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts give the Borrower prior notice of any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) to the extent permissible and reasonably

118

practicable, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.17 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 its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

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