“Base LIBOR Rate” means, subject to the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with Section 4.8, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate as set by the ICE Benchmark Administration (“ICE”) (or the successor thereto if ICE is no longer making such rate available) for deposits in Dollars for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page), at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage. If, for any reason, the rate referred to in the preceding clause (i) does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page), then the rate to be used for such clause (i) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in Dollars would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period. Any change in the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall result in a change in the Base LIBOR Rate on the date on

which such change in such Eurodollar Reserve Percentage becomes effective. If the Base LIBOR Rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, the Base LIBOR Rate shall be deemed to be zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying (i) that all or any portion of the Loans are subject to a Specified Rate Management Transaction (or any successor or replacement Rate Management Transaction) and (ii) that such Specified Rate Management Transaction (or any successor or replacement Rate Management Transaction) is not subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor, then Base LIBOR Rate shall not be subject to a floor of 0.0% with respect to such Loans. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of the Base LIBOR Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. To the extent a comparable or successor rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied to the then applicable Interest Period in a manner consistent with market practice as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; provided that if such market practice is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to not be administratively feasible, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. All approvals and determinations to be made by the Administrative Agent in the preceding sentence shall be done in consultation with the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 4.8, in the event that a Benchmark Replacement with respect to the Base LIBOR Rate is implemented then all references herein to the Base LIBOR Rate shall be deemed references to such Benchmark Replacement.

“Base Rate Applicable Margin” means the Applicable Margin in effect for an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing as determined in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof.

“Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 4.8(c)(i).

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor,

(a) with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event or Early Opt-in Election, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided, that, if the Borrower has provided a notification to the Administrative Agent in writing on or prior to such Benchmark Replacement Date that the Borrower has a Rate Management Transaction in place with respect to any of the Loans as of the date of such notice (which such notification the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon and shall have no duty or obligation to ascertain the correctness or completeness of), then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may decide not to determine the Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (a)(1) or clause (a)(2) for such Benchmark Transition Event or Early Opt-in Election with respect to such Loan, and may instead select (A) the alternate benchmark referenced in such Rate Management Transaction, which may be the sum of a fallback rate and spread adjustment, for the entire balance of such Loan, or (B) the alternate benchmark referenced in such Rate Management Transaction, which may be the sum of a fallback rate and spread adjustment,

for the portion of such Loan that is subject to a Rate Management Transaction, and the applicable Benchmark Replacement for the remaining portion of such Loan:

(1) the sum of: (A) Term SOFR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3) the sum of: (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(b) with respect to any Term SOFR Transition Event, the sum of (i) Term SOFR and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

(c) with respect to any Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that, (i) in the case of clause (a)(1), if the Administrative Agent decides that Term SOFR is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then Term SOFR will be deemed unable to be determined for purposes of this definition and (ii) in the case of clause (a)(1) or clause (b) of this definition, the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is 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. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a)(1), (a)(2) or (a)(3), clause (b) or clause (c) of this definition would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1) for purposes of clauses (a)(1) and (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” an amount equal to (A) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month’s duration, (B) 0.26161% (26.161 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months’ duration and (C) 0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available Tenor of six-months’ duration:

(2) for purposes of clause (a)(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” an amount equal to 0.11448% (11.448 basis points);

(3) for purposes of clause (a)(3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Available Tenor of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Available Tenor of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; and

(4) for purposes of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Available Tenor of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” the definition of “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

1.4. General References. References in this Agreement to “Sections”, “Articles”, “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are to sections, articles, exhibits and schedules herein and hereto unless otherwise indicated. References in this Agreement to any document, instrument or agreement (a) shall include all exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, (b) shall include all documents, instruments or agreements issued or executed in replacement thereof, to the extent permitted hereby and (c) shall mean such document, instrument or agreement, or replacement or predecessor thereto, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent not otherwise stated herein or prohibited hereby and in effect at any given time. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to time are references to Central Time.

1.5. Rates. The interest rate on LIBOR Borrowings and Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings may be determined by reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public

statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for Dollars for: (a) 1-week and 2-month tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (b) overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements. As a result, it is possible that commencing immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such tenors may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Borrowings or Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. There is no assurance that the dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 4.8(c), such Section 4.8(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 4.8(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Borrowings and Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.8(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.6. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

1.7. Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) Following the date on which Borrower provides a Pricing Certificate in respect of the most recently ended Reference Year, the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted, as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (i) the Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 1.7(f) based upon the KPI Metric for the applicable Reference Year set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (ii) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate (or the non-delivery or delivery of an incomplete Pricing Certificate) shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 1.7(f)).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Reference Year. It is further understood and agreed that the LIBOR Applicable Margin and the Base Rate Applicable Margin will never be reduced by more than 0.01% pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment during any calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin by reference to the KPI Metric Target in any Reference Year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.

(c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate is delivered, or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete and fail to include the KPI Metric for the applicable Reference Year, within the period set forth in Section 1.7(f), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be made to the Applicable Margin commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 1.7(f).

(d) If (i)(A) the Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the KPI Metric as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Borrower), or (B) the Borrower and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the KPI Metric would have resulted in no adjustment to the Applicable Margin for any period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender), but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.

It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, that, the Borrower complies with the terms of this Section 1.7(d) with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediate preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or concurrently with such demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the default rate pursuant to Section 2.14 prior to such a demand.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(f) As soon as available and in any event within 90 days following the end of each calendar year (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), the Borrower may deliver a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy to each Lender) for the most recently-ended Reference Year; provided, that, for any Reference Year the Borrower may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, and such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 90-day period shall result in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 1.7(c)). Subject to the provisions of Section 1.7(b), the Borrower may, at its election exercisable by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent, adjust the Reference Year and the timing of delivery of the Pricing Certificate in a manner intended to maintain consistency with the foregoing.

1.8. Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Term Loan Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1, the terms and provisions of the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. All “Loans” made and “Obligations” incurred under the Existing Term Loan Agreement which are outstanding on the Agreement Execution Date shall continue as Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Loan Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) all obligations constituting “Obligations” with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender which are outstanding on the Agreement Execution Date shall continue as Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents, (c) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit and loan exposure under the Existing Term Loan Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s outstanding Loans hereunder reflect such Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding aggregate Loans on the Agreement Execution Date, (d) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Loans (including the “Eurocurrency Loans” under the Existing Term Loan Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 4.4 hereof.

ARTICLE II.

THE FACILITY

2.1. The Facility.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the General Partner contained herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Term Loan Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or (y) the Total Term Loan Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Term Loan Commitment. The Borrowings may be Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or Eurocurrency Borrowings.

(b) The Facility created by this Agreement shall terminate on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the funding of such Lender’s Loan hereunder on the Closing Date and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Closing Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.2. Incremental Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to request one or more additional tranches of additional Loans (the “Incremental Loans”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such Incremental Loans shall not exceed Two Hundred Sixty Million Dollars ($260,000,000). Each such Incremental Loan must be an aggregate minimum amount of $20,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of such Incremental Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of Incremental Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to provide an Incremental Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested Incremental Loan must be an Eligible Assignee. Effecting the Incremental Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) the Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental Loans,

(y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct on the effective date of such Incremental Loans except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by a Qualified Officer of the Borrower of (A) all partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Incremental Loans and (B) all corporate or other necessary action taken by Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Loans; and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantor, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) if requested, new Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes, if requested by any applicable Lender, executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders making Incremental Loans, in the amount of each such Lender’s Term Loan Exposure at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Loans. In connection with any Incremental Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2 any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the existing Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the existing Loans. Incremental Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each new Lender participating in such tranche (if any), each existing Lender participating in such tranche (if any) and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lenders (except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.3), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.2.

2.3. Principal Payments. Any outstanding Borrowings and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.

2.4. Requests for Borrowings; Responsibility for Borrowings. Borrowings shall be made available to the Borrower by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.7 hereof. The obligation of each Lender to fund its Percentage of each Borrowing shall be several and not joint.

2.5. Evidence of Credit Extensions. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). Each Lender may record Borrowings and principal payments thereof on the schedule attached to its Note or, at its option, in its records, and each Lender’s record thereof shall be conclusive absent the Borrower furnishing to such Lender conclusive and irrefutable evidence of an error made by such Lender with respect to that Lender’s records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to make, or an error in making, a notation with respect to any Borrowing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to pay the amount actually owed by the Borrower to Lenders.

2.6. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 4.8, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Adjusted Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency 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.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

2.7. Requests for Borrowings.

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a “Borrowing Notice”) (A) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time), three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (B) in the case of an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time), one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J in the case of any Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.7: (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing; (ii) the Type of the requested Borrowing; (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; and (vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.7. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Notice in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

The Borrower shall also deliver together with each Borrowing Notice the compliance certificate required in Section 5.2 and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for Borrowings.

Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available at the Administrative Office. Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

(b) Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of a Borrowing Notice, determine the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the requested Eurocurrency Borrowing and inform the Borrower and Lenders of the same. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(c) If the Borrower shall prepay a Eurocurrency Borrowing other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall be responsible to pay all amounts due to Lenders as required by Section 4.4 hereof. The Lenders shall not be obligated to match fund their Eurocurrency Borrowings.

(d) The right of the Borrower to select the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and the Adjusted Base Rate for a Borrowing pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the availability to Lenders, as applicable, of a similar option. If Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits of Dollars in an amount approximately equal to the Borrowing for which the Borrower wishes to select the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate are not generally available at such time in the London interbank eurodollar market, or (ii) the rate at which the deposits described in subsection (i) herein are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the costs to Lenders, as applicable, of maintaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate on a Borrowing or of funding the same in such market for such Interest Period, or (iii) reasonable means do not exist for determining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate, or (iv) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Adjusted Base Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Borrower may by law pay, then in any of such events, Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and Lenders and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Borrowing shall bear interest at the Substitute Rate.

2.8. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as set forth in Section 2.7 if no Interest Period is specified). Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.6(d), (ii) elect to convert any Adjusted Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans that would result in the number of Eurocurrency Borrowings exceeding the maximum number of Eurocurrency Borrowings permitted under Section 2.6(c) or (iii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans to which such Interest Period will apply complies with the requirements as to minimum principal amount set forth in Section 2.11.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section (an “Interest Election Request”), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.7 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (hereinafter referred to as a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”).

(c) Each telephonic and written Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.6 and paragraph (a) of this Section: (i) the Borrowing to which such Conversion/Continuation Notice applies; (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Conversion/Continuation Notice, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election. If any such Conversion/Continuation Notice requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to timely deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.8(b) prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein,

at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with the same Interest Period as the Eurocurrency Borrowing being continued (unless such deemed election shall result in an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a one (1) month Interest Period which will not end after the Maturity Date; provided however that if less than 30 days remain until the Maturity Date, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate). The Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender and the Borrower of the details of any such deemed continuation under this clause (e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8, no Borrowing may be converted into a Eurocurrency Borrowing or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

2.9. Applicable Margins and Fees.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) The Base Rate Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin shall vary from time to time in accordance with the Investment Grade Rating as follows (such that the Applicable Margin shall change from time to time as and when the Investment Grade Rating changes, which changes shall be effective from and after the date that notice is delivered from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of the applicable Investment Grade Rating change):


Rating Level	LIBOR Applicable Margin	Base Rate Applicable Margin
A/A2 (“Level I”)	0.75%	0.75%
A-/A3 (“Level II”)	0.80%	0.80%
BBB+/Baa1 (“Level III”)	0.85%	0.85%
BBB/Baa2 (“Level IV”)	0.95%	0.95%
BBB-/Baa3 (“Level V”)	1.20%	1.20%
Below BBB- and Baa3 (“Level VI”)	1.60%	1.60%

Notwithstanding the Investment Grade Rating set forth in above table, if: (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ending fiscal quarter of the Borrower as set forth in the corresponding compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(iv) is less than 32.5% (or, so long as the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall have been less than 32.5% during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, greater than or equal to 32.5% but less than 37.5%; provided that the provisions of this parenthetical shall be applicable for only one fiscal quarter during the term of this Agreement), and (ii) (a) the Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating with S&P is not lower than BBB and (b) the Borrower’s Investment Grade

Rating with Xxxxx’x is not lower than Baa2, the Base Rate Applicable Margin, the LIBOR Applicable Margin shall be set at Level III. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 32.5% for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters, the Borrower will again satisfy the condition set forth in clause (i) above when and if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ending fiscal quarter of the Borrower as set forth in the corresponding compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(iv) is less than 32.5%, and (y) the Borrower may qualify for pricing at Level I, II or III based solely upon its Investment Grade Rating even if it does not meet the Consolidated Leverage Ratio condition described in clause (i) above. Any increase or decrease in the Base Rate Applicable Margin, the LIBOR Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio in accordance with the foregoing proviso shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a compliance certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(iv); provided, that if a compliance certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then the Level corresponding to the Investment Grade Rating then in effect shall apply as of the fifth Business Day after the date on which such compliance certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such compliance certificate is delivered. The parties acknowledge and agree the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the first fiscal quarter of 2021 is less than 32.5%.

The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the higher of the two ratings from S&P or Moody’s. In the event that such two ratings are more than one rating level apart and both are Investment Grade Ratings, then the rating level one level above the lower of the two ratings shall apply. If only one Investment Grade Ratings has been issued, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the sole Investment Grade Rating then in effect. If Investment Grade Ratings shall have been assigned by both rating agencies and thereafter the Borrower does not have an Investment Grade Rating from either Rating Agency, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level VI of the foregoing table in this Section 2.9(b).

2.10. Funds Transfer Disbursements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

2.11. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. Each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof).

2.12. Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 2.14, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest from time to time at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) the Adjusted Base Rate; or

(ii) at the election of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.8 with respect to all or portions of the Obligations, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(b) All interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest accrued on each Borrowing shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month in arrears from time to time while such Borrowing is outstanding (or, if earlier, on the Maturity Date). Interest shall not be payable for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (Central Time). If any payment of principal or interest on the Loans, or fees hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a payment of principal, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest due in connection with such payment; provided that for purposes of Section 10.1 hereof, any payments of principal described in this sentence shall be considered to be “due” on such next succeeding Business Day.

2.13. Method of Payment.

(a) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without set off, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent at the Administrative Office or at any other Lending Office of Administrative Agent specified in writing by Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by Administrative Agent among Lenders in the Facility. Each such payment shall be made in Dollars. Each payment delivered to Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that Administrative Agent received at its address specified herein or at any Lending Office specified in a notice received by Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments not made by Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day after receipt shall accrue interest at Federal Funds Effective Rate. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower

maintained with Xxxxx for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.16 or 12.8, then the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.14. Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have the right to request a Eurocurrency Borrowing, select a new Interest Period for an existing Eurocurrency Borrowing or convert any Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing to a Eurocurrency Borrowing. During the continuance of a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, outstanding Borrowings shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rates until such Monetary Default or Event of Default ceases to exist or the Obligations are paid in full.

2.15. Lending Offices. Each Lender may book its Borrowings at any Lending Office selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Office from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Office and any Note shall be deemed held by the applicable Lender for the benefit of such Lending Office. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Office through which Borrowings will be made by it and for whose account payments are to be made.

2.16. Non Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, a Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, promptly after demand by Administrative Agent, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as determined by Administrative Agent) or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. If the Borrower and any Lender shall each pay any such amount made available by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may

have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.

2.17. [Reserved].

2.18. [Reserved].

2.19. [Reserved].

2.20. Pro Rata Treatment/Sharing of Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing from the Lenders under Sections 2.7 shall be made from the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Percentages; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 12.16, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages; (iii) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans, then due and payable to the respective Lenders and (iv) the making, conversion and continuation of Loans of a particular Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders, according to the amounts of their respective Loans, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

(b) If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Rate Management Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.20(a) or Section 2.22, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.20(a) or Section 2.22, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off,

banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

2.21. [Reserved].

2.22. Application of Moneys Received. Subject to Section 2.13(b) hereof, all moneys collected or received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Facility directly or indirectly, shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) to the payment of all reasonable costs incurred in the collection of such moneys of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower;

(ii) to the reimbursement of any yield protection due to any of the Lenders in accordance with Section 4.1;

(iii) to the payment of all fees then due to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) [reserved];

(v) first to interest until paid in full and then to principal for all Lenders (x) for Borrowings (unless an Event of Default exists) (the amount allocated to Borrowings to be distributed in accordance with the applicable pro rata shares of the outstanding amounts of the Lenders) or (y) if an Event of Default exists, in accordance with the respective Percentages of the Lenders until principal is paid in full, each Lenders’ share of such payment to be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Types of Loans owed to such Lender; and

(vi) any other sums due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents.

2.23. [Reserved].

2.24. Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any of its Borrowings in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by email of any prepayment under clause (a) above not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above of any

Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.11 hereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the applicable prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 hereof and by breakage costs to the extent required by Section 4.4 hereof.

ARTICLE IV.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law:

(i) subjects the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any applicable Lending Office to any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (other than (A) Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, capital or liquidity attributable to making, converting, funding or maintaining its Borrowings or its Term Loan Commitment, or

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

(iii) imposes any other condition, and the result is to increase the cost of any Lender or any applicable Lending Office of making, funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Office in connection with loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Office to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Borrowings and its Term Loan Commitment (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant).

4.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Office of such Lender or any corporate entity controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change in Law (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant), then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which is attributable to this Agreement, its Borrowings or its obligation to make Borrowings hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). Without in any way affecting the Borrower’s obligation to pay compensation actually claimed by a Lender under this Section 4.2, the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender which has demanded such compensation provided that the Borrower notifies such Lender that it has elected to replace such Lender and notifies such Lender and the Administrative Agent of the identity of the proposed replacement Lender not more than six (6) months after the date of such Lender’s most recent demand for compensation under this Section 4.2, and further provided that such replacement is otherwise in accordance with Section 4.7. The Lender being replaced shall assign its Term Loan Exposure and its rights and obligations under this Facility to the replacement Lender in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.3 hereof and the replacement Lender shall assume such Term Loan Exposure, all pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. The purchase by the replacement Lender shall be at par (plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any other sums owed to such Lender being replaced hereunder) which shall be paid to the Lender being replaced upon the execution and delivery of the assignment. The Lender being replaced shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 and 14.6 for events recurring prior to assignment to the replacement Lender.

4.3. [Reserved].

4.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Borrowing occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Borrowing is not made, continued or converted on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by one or more of the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by such Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Borrowing.

4.5. Taxes.

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) 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 4.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with Applicable

Law, and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 4.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of its Term Loan Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 4.6.

(iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the Borrower shall take such

steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 4.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(viii) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.5(viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(ix) Each of the Lenders represents that as of the Agreement Execution Date it is not aware of any facts that would give rise to a claim for additional payments under this Section 4.5.

4.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Borrowings to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 or to avoid the unavailability of a LIBOR Borrowing, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The amount due in such statement shall not include amounts due under Section 4.5 that are either attributable to facts known to the Lender as of the Agreement Execution Date or that relate to a time period more than ninety (90) days prior to the giving of such written statement. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Borrowing shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Borrowing through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to such Borrowing, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.7. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 4.5, or (b) cannot maintain its LIBOR Borrowings at a suitable Lending Office pursuant to Section 4.6, with a replacement bank or other financial institution or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the remaining Lenders, (ii) no Event of Default or (after notice thereof to the Borrower) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase at par all Loans and the Borrower or the replacement bank or institution shall repay other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 4.4 and 4.6 if any LIBOR Borrowing owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein and the replaced Lender’s consent shall not be required), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall continue to pay all amounts payable hereunder without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

4.8. Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Base LIBOR Rate Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a LIBOR Borrowing or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks

in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Borrowing or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Borrowings and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Borrowing shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Borrowing together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.4), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Borrowing; or (B) Borrowings shall, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, bear interest at the Substitute Rate, rather than any Loans becoming payable.

(b) Laws Affecting Base LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Borrowing, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Borrowings, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Borrowing or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Borrowing shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings that shall, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, bear interest at the Substitute Rate, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Borrowing to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing bearing interest at the Substitute Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any documentation related to a Rate Management Transaction shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 4.8(c)) if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, 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 (a)(1) or (a)(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 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 (a)(3) or clause (c) 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 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 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. If an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Term SOFR 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 the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any 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; provided that this clause (B) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.

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 4.8(c).

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

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Borrowings to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings that shall, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, bear interest at the Substitute Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrowings bearing interest based on the Adjusted Base Rate shall instead bear interest at the Substitute Rate.

8.13. Guarantors. To the extent any Person executes and delivers a guaranty of, or otherwise becomes obligated in respect of, the Indebtedness of the Parent or the Borrower under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine) cause such Person to deliver to the Administrative Agent each of the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (a) a Guaranty executed by such Person substantially similar to the form of guaranty delivered by such Person with respect to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement and (b) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, supporting documentation comparable in scope and type to any supporting documentation delivered by such Person with respect to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

11.1. Acceleration. If any Event of Default described in Section 10.10 hereof occurs, or the Borrower or the General Partner becomes Insolvent, the Term Loan Commitments and obligation of the Lenders to make Borrowings hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

12.1. Appointment. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

12.3. General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its

or their own Gross Negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.

12.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.. Neither the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

12.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

12.6. Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys in fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. Without limitation of the extent of any liability any Lender may otherwise have pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted in good faith as a result of advice of counsel.

12.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of outside counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

12.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution,

delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by the Borrower (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute Gross Negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any indemnifiable amount set forth in Section 12.8(i), (ii) or (ii) following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such indemnifiable amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

12.9. Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Term Loan Commitment, Borrowings made by it and any Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

12.10. [Reserved].

12.11. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 and the other Loan Documents.

12.12. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

12.13. Notice of Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

12.14. Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall, or, in the case of any request for consent or approval that is subject to Section 14.13(a) or (b), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period, but in no event less than five (5) Business Days for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent provided that the request for approval states the time by which a response is needed before approval is deemed given. Solely with respect to any request for consent or approval that is subject to Section 14.13(c), if the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders which Lenders, if any, failed to respond to a request for approval.

12.15. Copies of Documents. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices sent or received and according to Section 15.1 of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Lenders within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt, copies of all financial statements, certificates and notices received regarding the General Partner’s ratings except to the extent such items are required to be furnished directly to the Lenders by the Borrower hereunder. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after a request by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide copies of such documents to such Lender except where this Agreement obligates Administrative Agent to provide copies in a shorter period of time.

12.16. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

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

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11.1 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, [reserved]; third, [reserved]; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth,[reserved]; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) [Reserved]

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

12.17. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles XII and XIV.

12.18. Managing Agents, Syndication Agent, etc.. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “managing agent” nor the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 12.11.

12.19. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.19(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that

nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any 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, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days 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 and 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 Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent 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; provided that, if the Payment Recipient is the Borrower, (a) the accrual of such interest shall be at the Federal Funds Effective Rate and shall commence to accrue from and including the second Business Day following the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by the Borrower (the “Borrower EP Interest Accrual Date”) to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent and (b) if such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) shall have been returned to the Administrative Agent prior to the Borrower EP Interest Accrual Date, then the Borrower shall not have any further obligations or liability with respect to such Erroneous Payment, including for any interest, charges, fees, costs or expenses incurred as a result of the Administrative Agent making the Erroneous Payment to the Borrower, the Borrower holding the Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower returning the Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent.

(c) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Term Loan Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Term Loan Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any

accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Article XIII and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(d) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.19 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making for a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(f) Nothing in this Section 12.19 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

ARTICLE XIII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participation must be made in compliance with Section 13.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 13.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 13.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 13.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 13.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

13.2. Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, any Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Term Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Term Loan Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 14.13 or of any other Loan Document.

13.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a) in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a) with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 14.15(a), agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 14.15(b) as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

13.2.4 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Loan Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loan Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.3. Assignments; Consents. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

13.3.1 Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

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

13.3.3 Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.3.1(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or a Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not

already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender.

13.3.4 Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

13.3.5 No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) any Defaulting Lender.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.8 and 14.6 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive the termination hereof and thereof with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.2.

13.4. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.5. [Reserved].

13.6 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Term Loan Commitment, Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or the General Partner, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, the General Partner, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower relating to the Borrower, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, the General Partner, or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, the General Partner, or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of

care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

13.7 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.5(iv).

ARTICLE XIV.

THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE LENDERS TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWER AGAINST THE LENDERS OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE LENDERS INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Any assignee or transferee of rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

14.13. Entire Agreement; Modification of Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the Borrower, the General Partner, Administrative Agent, and Lenders and supersede all prior conversations, agreements, understandings, commitments and term sheets among any or all of such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower, and Administrative Agent if the rights or duties of Administrative Agent are affected thereby, and

(a) each of the Lenders adversely affected thereby if such amendment or waiver:

(i) subject to clause (d) below, reduces or forgives any payment of principal or interest on the Obligations or any fees payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder; or

(ii) postpones the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations or any fees payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder; or

14.15. Set-Off.

(a) Subject to Section 2.20 and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time, or from time to time while, an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Required Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.1, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

(b) Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest or fees due with respect to any Loan held by it (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5 and 4.8) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest or fees due with respect to any Loan held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders and such other adjustments shall be made as may be required so that all such payments of principal, interest or fees with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Percentages.

14.16. Counterparts; Integration, Effectiveness, Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or any Arranger, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,

101

Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or the Term Loan Commitments;

Capitalized terms used in these Additional Terms and Conditions to Disbursement Instruction Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the body of the Agreement.

Disbursement Requests. Except as expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, Administrative Agent must receive Disbursement Requests in writing. Disbursement Requests will only be accepted from the applicable Authorized Representatives designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Disbursement Requests will be processed subject to satisfactory completion of Administrative Agent’s customer verification procedures. Administrative Agent is only responsible for making a good faith effort to execute each Disbursement Request and may use agents of its choice to execute Disbursement Requests. Funds disbursed pursuant to a Disbursement Request may be transmitted directly to the Receiving Bank, or indirectly to the Receiving Bank through another bank, government agency, or other third party that Administrative Agent considers to be reasonable. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each Disbursement will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a Disbursement Request if the Disbursement would: (i) violate the terms of this Agreement; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or Lenders or prohibited by government authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

Limitation of Liability. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s requested Disbursements may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control; or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Administrative Agent any Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither

Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF A DISBURSEMENT REQUEST IS EXECUTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN GOOD FAITH AN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Reliance on Information Provided. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely on the information provided by Borrower or any Authorized Representative in or in accordance with this Agreement when executing a Disbursement Request until Administrative Agent has received a new Agreement signed by Borrower. Borrower agrees to be bound by any Disbursement Request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with this Agreement, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Administrative Agent may rely solely (i) on the account number of the Receiving Party, rather than the Receiving Party’s name, and (ii) on the bank routing number of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative. If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfers or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized Disbursement Requests, Borrower agrees that, no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions, Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future, and such actions shall not become any part of the Disbursement procedures authorized herein, in the Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.

Administrative Agent will not execute Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the Loan Agreement.

Errors. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the Disbursement of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized Disbursement Requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement.

Finality of Disbursement Requests. Disbursement Requests will be final and will not be subject to stop payment or recall; provided that Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s request, make an effort to effect a stop payment or recall but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.

FORM OF GUARANTY

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY

This Amended and Restated Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) is made as of July 7, 2021, by First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, individually (“Xxxxx”), and as administrative agent for itself and the lenders listed on the signature pages of the Loan Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Lender”).

RECITALS

A. First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), and Guarantor have requested that Lender make unsecured term loans available to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000 (subject to Borrower’s right to increase such aggregate principal amount to $460,000,000 in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Loan Agreement (herein defined)) (the “Facility”).

B. Lender has agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated Unsecured Term Loan Agreement bearing even date herewith between Borrower, the Lenders and Guarantor (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

C. Guarantor is party to that certain Guaranty, dated July 15, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Guaranty”).

D. The parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty in its entirety and the Guarantor wishes to affirm its obligations under the Existing Guaranty.

E. Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower and, therefore, Guarantor will derive financial benefit from the Facility evidenced by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the performance by Lender of its obligations under the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor affirms its obligations under, and the terms and conditions of, the Existing

Guaranty and agrees that such obligations remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:

(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof);

(c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents; and

(d) All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Facility Indebtedness.” All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.”

2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Lender or any holder of any Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are or then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to pay any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in protecting, preserving, or defending its interest in the Property or in connection with the Facility or under any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Lender shall have the right, at its option, either before, during or after pursuing any other right or remedy against Borrower or Guarantor, to perform any and all of the Obligations by or through any agent. contractor or subcontractor, or any of their agents, of its selection, all as Lender in its sole discretion deems proper, and Guarantor shall indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, expense, injury, or liability Lender may suffer or incur in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Guaranty or the performance of the Obligations, except to the extent the same arises as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided by any of the Loan Documents or law or equity shall be equally available to Lender, and the choice by Lender of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, set-off, or failure to mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Lender to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Lender from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies hereinabove specified in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a failure hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a

matter of business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by Lender at the lowest cost to Borrower and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such choice by Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.

3. Guarantor does hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantor may have against the Borrower or which Guarantor or Borrower may have against Lender or the holders of any Note (other than defenses relating to payment of the Facility Indebtedness or the correctness of any allegation by Lender that Borrower was in default in the performance of the Obligations), (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantor with liability, (iv) any failure by Lender to inform Guarantor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to inform and that the Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by the Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of the Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause Lender to proceed against any other security given to Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by Lender to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Lender to Guarantor. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of Lender. Guarantor further agrees that any exculpatory language contained in the Loan Agreement and the Notes shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent Lender from proceeding against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty.

4. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by any waiver by Lender under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or by Lender’s failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being

the intent hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Guarantor shall not be a “surety” for purposes of the Securities Act of Illinois (740 ILCS 155 et. seq.) and the Guarantor hereby waives any rights or benefits thereunder. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Lender may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, or any thereof (including, without limitation in accordance with Borrower’s right to increase the aggregate principal balance of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Loan Agreement), and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Lender and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of Lender’s rights hereunder or any of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Lender without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Lender to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Lender from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence ore reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to Lender had not been made, regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6.    This Guaranty shall be assignable by Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

7.    If: (i) this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Loan Agreement) alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Guarantor shall pay to Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees, recording costs, expenses of foreclosure, title insurance premiums, survey costs, minutes of foreclosure, and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8.    The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Lender or the holder of any Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9.    Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Guarantor agrees that until the entire Facility Indebtedness has been paid in full, (i) Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for Guarantor’s own account any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt, and (ii) any such payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

10.    Guarantor waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101) which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or Lender or any right of Guarantor or Lender to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by Lender for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder. It is expressly understood that the waivers and

agreements of Guarantor set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to Lender for its security and as an inducement for its extension of credit to Borrower. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 10 is intended to prohibit Guarantor from making all distributions to its constituent shareholders which are required by law from time to time in order for Guarantor to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

11.    Any amounts received by Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect.

12.    The Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of either the Circuit Court of Xxxx County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Guarantor hereby agrees that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Guarantor may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

13.    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

14. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by email and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by email, shall be deemed given when transmitted (provided, if such notice is transmitted by email, that such notice is then also promptly mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid in the cases of email in accordance with this paragraph).
