For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if any of Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch shall not have an Applicable Rating in effect (other than by reason of the circumstances
referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then (i) if only one rating agency shall not have an Applicable Rating in effect, the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference to the remaining two effective Applicable
Ratings, (ii) if two rating agencies shall not have an Applicable Rating in effect, one of such rating agencies shall be deemed to have an Applicable Rating in Pricing Category 6 and the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference
to such deemed Applicable Rating and the remaining effective Applicable Rating and (iii) if no rating agency shall have an Applicable Rating in effect, the applicable Pricing Category shall be Pricing Category 6, (b) if the Applicable Ratings in
effect or deemed to be in effect shall fall within different Pricing Categories, then (i) if three Applicable Ratings are in effect, either (A) if two of the three Applicable Ratings are in the same Pricing Category, such Pricing Category shall be
the applicable Pricing Category or (B) if all three of the Applicable Ratings are in different Pricing Categories, the Pricing Category corresponding to the middle Applicable Rating shall be the applicable Pricing Category and (ii) if only two
Applicable Ratings are in effect or deemed to be in effect, the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category in which the higher of the Applicable Ratings shall fall unless the Applicable Ratings differ by two or more Pricing
Categories, in which case the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category one level below that corresponding to the higher Applicable Rating and (c) if any Applicable Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the
rating system of the applicable rating agency), such change shall be effective on the fifth Business Day following the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency making such change. If the rating system of Moody’s, S&P
or Fitch shall change, or if such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations and corporate credit, the Company and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such
changed rating system or the unavailability of Applicable Ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rating used to determine the Applicable Rate shall be deemed to be that most recently in
effect from such rating agency prior to such change or cessation.
Each change in the applicable Pricing Category (as corresponding to the Leverage Ratio) resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be
effective during the period commencing on and including the date on which the consolidated financial statements of the Company pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and the related Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(c) are required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent for any Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, to the extent such financial statements and Compliance Certificate indicate any such change, and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next
such change; provided that if the Company shall not have timely delivered its consolidated financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable, and the related
Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(c), commencing on the date upon which such financial statements or Compliance Certificate should have been so delivered and continuing until such financial statements or Compliance Certificate, as
applicable, are actually delivered, the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Pricing Category 6.
“Applicable Ratings” means, with respect to Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, (a) a rating by
such rating agency of the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money or (b) if and only if such rating agency does not have in effect a rating as described in clause (a), a corporate rating (however
denominated) by such rating agency of the Company.
6
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person or any holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its
activities and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
“Approved Netherlands Borrower” means a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company organized

from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date and on or before the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date in a principal amount, for any Delayed Draw Term Loan, not exceeding its Delayed Draw Term Commitment as in effect
immediately prior to the making of such Delayed Draw Term Loan, provided that no more than two Borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans may be made under this clause (a), and (b) to make
Revolving Loans denominated in US Dollars or Alternative Currencies to any Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in any Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding
such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
55
SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Type and currency made by
the Lenders to the same Borrower ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.20. 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; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other
Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
(b) Subject to Section 2.11, (i) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars and each Delayed Draw Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11, Daily Simple SOFR
Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in Sterling, Canadian Dollars or Euro shall be comprised entirely of RFR Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be denominated in US
Dollars and shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any 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 applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than the Borrowing Minimum and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof; provided that (i) a Term SOFR Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing and
(ii) a Term SOFR Borrowing of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Commitments of such Class. At the time that each RFR Borrowing, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (if applicable pursuant to
Section 2.11) or ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than the Borrowing Minimum and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof; provided that an RFR Revolving Borrowing, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Revolving Borrowing of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance
of the Commitments of such Class or, in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.19(f). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of US$100,000 and not less than US$100,000; provided that, a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.19(f). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 12 (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) Term SOFR Borrowings and RFR Borrowings outstanding.
56
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue, any Term SOFR Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
applicable Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Delayed Draw Term Borrowing, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall submit a
Borrowing Request, signed by its Senior Officer, to the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of any
such Term SOFR Borrowing to occur on the Restatement Effective Date, such shorter period of time as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent), (b) in the case of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, four

of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing or (d) if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11, in the case of a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, five Business
Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (except that the Borrowing Request for Loans to be borrowed on the Restatement Effective Date may be conditioned on the occurrence of the
Restatement Effective Date) and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the name of the applicable Borrower;
(ii) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Delayed Draw Term Borrowing or a Revolving Borrowing;
(iii) the currency and principal amount of such Borrowing;
(iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(vi) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(vii) the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed (or such other account as may be designated by (or by the Company on behalf of) the applicable Borrower) or, in
the case of any ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.19(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.
57
If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected US Dollars. If no election as to
the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing and (B) in the case of Borrowing denominated in Sterling, Euro or Canadian Dollars, an RFR
Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing
Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the
applicable currency by (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, 12:00 p.m., Local Time (or, in the case of ABR Revolving Loans, such later time as shall be two hours after the delivery by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower of a Borrowing
Request therefor in accordance with Section 2.03), and (ii) in the case of Delayed Draw Term Loans, 10:00 a.m., Local Time (or, in the case of ABR Delayed Draw Term Loans, such later time as shall be two hours after the delivery by the Company
of a Borrowing Request therefor in accordance with Section 2.03), in each case, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided
that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.20. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated in the
applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.19(f) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree, without duplication, to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, 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 and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, the greater of the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, the interest rate
applicable to the subject Loan pursuant hereto. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any such payment by such Borrower
shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
58
SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Delayed Draw Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing (if such Borrowing is denominated in US Dollars) to a
Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A 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 any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing or elect an Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing that does not comply with Section 2.02(d). This Section shall not
apply to Swingline Loans or RFR Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall submit an Interest Election Request, signed by its Senior Officer, to the Administrative Agent by the time that a Borrowing Request
would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type and in the currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the name of the applicable Borrower;
(ii) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(iii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
59
(iv) the Type of the resulting Borrowing; and
(v) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Xxxxxx’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing.
(d) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing.
(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(i) has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class, has notified the Company of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of
Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing of such Class denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing of such Class shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Delayed Draw Term Commitment of each Delayed Draw Term Lender shall automatically terminate
at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Delayed Draw Term Commitment of each Delayed Draw Term
Lender shall automatically reduce upon the making by such Lender of any Delayed Draw Term Loan by an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan.
(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining Commitments of such Class) and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, (A) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving
Lender would exceed its Revolving Commitment.
60
(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this
Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) on the Revolving Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender to such Borrower, (ii) on the Delayed Draw Term Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan of such Delayed Draw Term Lender to such Borrower and (iii) on the Revolving Maturity Date to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to
such Borrower.
(b) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall (in the case of the Lenders, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.04(b)(iv)) be, in
the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers in
respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any
error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its
registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one
or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered permitted assigns.
61
SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject
to the requirements of this Section.
(b) If, on any date, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then (i) on the last day of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing and (ii) if any ABR Revolving Borrowing, RFR Revolving
Borrowing, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11) or Swingline Loan is outstanding, not later than three Business Days following such date, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans
in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any other prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans on such day) and (B) the amount of the applicable Revolving
Borrowings or Swingline Loan referred to in clause (i) or (ii). If, on any date, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall exceed 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then the applicable Borrowers shall, not later than three Business Days
following such date, prepay one or more Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans (and, if no Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.19(n)) in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any other prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans on such day) and (2) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure.
(c) The applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or in writing of any
optional prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a

p.m., Local Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid; provided that a notice of optional prepayment of any Borrowing may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice
relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and currency as provided in Section 2.02 (or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of any mandatory prepayment). Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.
62
SECTION 2.09. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Revolving Commitment Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the first Business
Day after such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, and accrued Revolving Commitment Fees shall also be payable in arrears on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. All
Revolving Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Revolving Commitment

shall be disregarded for such purpose) and (ii) the Revolving Commitment of PNC shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of PNC and the outstanding Swingline Loans (except any portion of
Swingline Loans that are subject to participations purchased by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(c)).
(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender a ticking fee (the “Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fee”), which
shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the outstanding unused Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such Lender during the period from and after the date that is 90 days after the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the
date on which such Delayed Draw Term Commitment terminates. Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day
after such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date that is 90 days after the Restatement Effective Date, and accrued Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fees shall also be payable in arrears on the date on which the Delayed

63
(c) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used
to determine the interest rate applicable to Term SOFR Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a
fronting fee, in US Dollars, which shall accrue at 0.125% per annum on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such
Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day after such last day following such day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Administrative Agent.
(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of the Revolving Commitment
Fee, the Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fee and the Letter of Credit participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.10. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising (i) each RFR Borrowing denominated in Sterling or Euro shall bear interest at the applicable Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) each RFR
Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest at the applicable Daily Simple RFR plus the Daily Simple XXXXX Adjustment plus
the Applicable Rate and (iii) if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11, each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate.

shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of or interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or Section 2.19(h), as applicable, (ii) in the case of overdue fees with respect to any Commitment, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans that are of the same Class as the
Class of such Commitment, as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, or (iii) in the case of any other overdue amount, (A) if such amount is payable in US Dollars, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, as provided
in paragraph (a) of this Section, and (B) if such amount is payable in any other currency, 2.00% per annum plus the Alternative Currency Overnight Rate plus the Applicable Rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section.
(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion or
continuation of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion or continuation. All interest shall be payable in the currency
in which the applicable Loan is denominated.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest on RFR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate
Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) interest on RFR Loans denominated in any other currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing shall
be computed in accordance with market practice for such RFR Loans, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR,
Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for and shall not have
any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of RFR, Daily Simple RFR, Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR.
(g) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated on the basis of a period other than a calendar year, such rate used in such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is
equivalent to (A) such rate, multiplied by (B) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is calculated ends, and divided by (C) the number of days in such period of time, (ii) the
principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
65
SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.11(b), if:
(i) the Administrative
Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing of any Class, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Term SOFR (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily Simple RFR for
the applicable Agreed Currency or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Daily Simple SOFR; or
(ii) the Administrative
Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of any Class (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing such Class, that the Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that the Daily Simple RFR or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Daily Simple SOFR for the
applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in the applicable Borrowing;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders of such Class as promptly as practicable thereafter and until the Administrative
Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, any Interest Election Request
that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(b), Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests an affected
Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(b), Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing and (B) in the case of Loans
denominated in any Alternative Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests an affected RFR Borrowing for the relevant Benchmark shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan, RFR Loan or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(b),
Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(a) with respect to the relevant Benchmark applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, RFR Loan or Daily
Simple SOFR Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders of the applicable Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, (A) if such Loan is a Term
SOFR Loan, such Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan convert to an ABR Loan, (B) if such Loan is an RFR Loan, such Loan shall be prepaid (with the use of proceeds of other concurrently borrowed Revolving Loans
or otherwise) in full by the applicable Borrower on the first Business Day following the date of the Company’s receipt of such notice and (C) if such Loan is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, such Loan shall on the first Business Day following the date of
the Company’s receipt of such notice convert to an ABR Loan.
66
(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date,
such Benchmark Replacement (including any related adjustments) will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth
Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or 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 requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
67
(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) the implementation
of any Benchmark Replacement, (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (C) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor
of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (D) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of
Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any
action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its (or their) sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as
expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b).
(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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to
time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the 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 no longer be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable
or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no
longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous
definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given
Benchmark, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, RFR Loans denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency or, if applicable,
Daily Simple SOFR Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (A) the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for any affected Term SOFR
Borrowing or, if applicable, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing into a request for a borrowing of, or conversion to, an ABR Borrowing and (B) any request for a borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, any affected RFR Borrowing shall be
ineffective. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan, RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency or, if applicable, Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period
with respect to a Benchmark applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, RFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), (1) in the case of
Loans denominated in US Dollars, (x) any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto convert to an ABR Loan and (y) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day convert to an ABR Loan and (2) in the
case of Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, such Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the first Business Day following the date of the Company’s receipt of such notice. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period
with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark
Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.
68
SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank;
(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit
or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or VAT, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with
respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or
of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any
Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time following request of such Lender,
Issuing Bank or other Recipient (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section), the Company will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered; provided that upon the occurrence of any Change in Law
imposing a reserve percentage on any interest rate based on either SOFR or RFR, the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may modify the calculation of each such SOFR-based or RFR-based interest rate, as the case may be, to add (or
otherwise account for) such reserve percentage.
69
(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that
which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time following the request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (d) of this
Section), the Company will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) If the cost to any Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan to (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of participating
in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan issued for the account of or made to any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan) is
increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by reason of the fact that such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated in, has its principal place
of business in, or borrows from a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, then, from time to time following request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section), the
Company will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank or other Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(d) A certificate of a Lender, Issuing Bank, or other Recipient setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank, or other
Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender, Issuing Bank or
other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall demand compensation for any
increased or other cost or reduction pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section unless such Lender or Issuing Bank certifies that it is the general policy or practice of such Lender or Issuing Bank to demand (to the extent it is
entitled to do so) such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.
70
(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses
incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law or other circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or
expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further
that if the Change in Law or other circumstance giving rise to such increased costs, expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(f) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or the applicable lending office of such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Term
SOFR Loan or to charge interest with respect to any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates, based upon the Term SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell,
or to take deposits of, the applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Company and the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Term SOFR Loan
or to continue any Term SOFR Loan, or to charge interest with respect to any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates, based upon the Term SOFR, as the case may be, shall be suspended, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent
and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay Term SOFR
Loans of such Lender or convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
71
(g) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or the applicable lending office of such Lender to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or under any Loan Document with respect to any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, to make, maintain or fund any Loan to any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary or to charge interest with respect to any Loan to any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, or
to determine or charge interest rates with respect to any credit extension to any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Company and the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make,
maintain or fund any such Loan (if applicable, in an affected currency), or to continue any such Loan (if applicable, in an affected currency) or convert any ABR Loan into a Term SOFR Loan, or to charge interest with respect to any Loan, or to
determine or charge interest rates with respect to any credit extensions, as the case may be, in each case with respect to such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary, shall be suspended (and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled). Upon
receipt of such notice, the applicable Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay any such Loans of such Lender to such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary or, if applicable,
convert all such Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. The applicable Borrower shall also take
all reasonable actions requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to mitigate or avoid such illegality.
SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including
as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any Term SOFR Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (d) the failure to prepay any Term SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by or on behalf of any
Borrower (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company
pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (but not lost profits) attributable to such event (including, to the extent that any of the foregoing Loans are
denominated in any Alternative Currency, the loss, cost and expense (but not lost profits) of such Lender attributable to the premature unwinding of any hedging agreement entered into by such Lender in respect to the foreign currency exposure
attributable to such Loan), within 30 days following request of such Lender (accompanied by a certificate described below in this Section). Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable
Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest
Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the Term SOFR (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto) for an Interest Period commencing on the date of such
event and ending at or as nearly as possible to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the last day of the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan). A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Company and setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
72
SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any
Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of any amount received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Subject to and in accordance with Section 2.21(d), the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Subject to and in accordance with Section 2.21(d), the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to
such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
73
(e) Indemnification by Xxxxxxx. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to
such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(e).
(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(f)(ii)(A), 2.14(f)(ii)(B) and
2.14(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in respect of any Loan to the Company or any Domestic Borrowing Subsidiary:
(A) any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Xxxxxx becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from US federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
74
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Taxes pursuant to such tax treaty;
(2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Loan Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that interest payments on the Loans are not effectively connected with the Lender’s conduct of a US trade or business (a “US Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a US Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date
on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in US federal withholding Taxes, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
75
(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Taxes 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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may
be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and
the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
(iv) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Xxxxxx to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
2.14(f).
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g), in no event
will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party
would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
This Section 2.14(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
76
(h) VAT. (i) All amounts set out or expressed in any Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Loan Document (for the purposes of this paragraph (h), a “party”) to any Recipient that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such
supply. Subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under any Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for such VAT, such party
shall pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply), an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Recipient”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “VAT Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to
pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Recipient in respect of such consideration):
(A) to the extent the VAT Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Subject Party shall also pay to the VAT Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such
amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT, and the VAT Recipient shall, where this clause (A) applies, promptly pay to the VAT Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax
authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on such supply; and
(B) to the extent the VAT Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount
equal to the VAT chargeable on such supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of such VAT.
(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify any Recipient for any cost or expense, such party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost
or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
77
(iv) Any reference in this paragraph (h) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise
requires) a reference to the Person that is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the
relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction that is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant
group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of such group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).
(v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, such party must promptly provide such Recipient with details of such party’s VAT
registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document
prior to the time required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense,
setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made and except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in
respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars.
Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in
accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
78
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined herein from time to time). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of
the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing
Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent
at (i) if such amount is denominated in US Dollars, 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 and (ii) if such amount is
denominated in any other currency, the greater of the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
79
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied
obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.14(e), 2.15(d), 2.19(d), 2.19(f),
2.20(c) or 10.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
(f) In the event that any financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the
payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in
full of the principal of all Loans and the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero, the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued
interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of such misstatement.
SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.12 or delivers notice under Section 2.12(f) or 2.12(g),
or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14 (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any VAT or additional amounts arising from VAT that are not recoverable from any Governmental Authority, but not including any additional amounts arising from VAT that are recoverable from any Governmental Authority), then
such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (at the request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding, booking or issuing its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its participation in any
Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or
assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future (or, in the case of a notice under Section 2.12(f) or 2.12(g), would eliminate the illegality referred
to in such Section) and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation within 30 days following the written request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation relating
thereto).
80
(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, is unable to make Loans or delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.12(f) or is unable to make Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(g), (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any VAT or additional amounts arising from VAT that are not
recoverable from any Governmental Authority, but not including any additional amounts arising from VAT that are recoverable from any Governmental Authority), (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Revolving Lender has become
an Objecting Lender or (v) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 10.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the
affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 10.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their
consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation
resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, in
circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 10.04, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and, if applicable, funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in
each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal, funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case
of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result (or is reasonably
expected to result) in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, (E) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the status of such Revolving Lender as an
Objecting Lender, the assignee shall not be an Objecting Lender in respect of the applicable proposed designation of a Borrowing Subsidiary and (F) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a
consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment, delegation and consent and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be
effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and
delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the
assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.
81
SECTION 2.17. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall
apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) the Revolving Commitment Fees and the Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment or on the Delayed Draw Term Commitment, as the case may be, of such Defaulting Lender;
(b) the Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Exposure, the Delayed Draw Term Commitment and the Delayed Draw Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided
that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the
terms hereof;
(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(i) the Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.20(c)) and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
(other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.19(d) and 2.19(f)) shall be reallocated among the
Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that following such reallocation the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (excluding the portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical clause above) and LC Exposure (excluding the portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical
clause above) so reallocated does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;
82
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following written notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first,
prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans made to such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated and (B)
second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (other than any portion thereof referred to in the
parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19(n) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.09(c) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(c) shall be adjusted to give effect to
such reallocation; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.09(c) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing
Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated
and/or cash collateralized; and
(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is
satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parentheticals in clause (c)(i) above) will be fully covered
by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (c) above, and participating interests in any such funded Swingline Loan or in any such issued,
amended or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (c)(i) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
83
(e) In the event that (x) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of a Revolving Lender shall have occurred following the Restatement Effective Date and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall continue or (y) the Swingline Lender
or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Company and
any other applicable Borrower or such Revolving Lender satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Revolving Lender hereunder.
(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be
a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders and such funded participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such
Revolving Loans and such funded participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Revolving Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fees accrued
during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).
(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agree that a Defaulting Lender that is a Delayed Draw Term Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Term Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date
such Delayed Draw Term Lender shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be appropriate in connection with such Delayed Draw Term Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender, and such Delayed Draw Term Lender shall
thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and (y) all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without
its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).
(h) The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender, any other Lender or any Loan Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.
84
SECTION 2.18. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment of Incremental Revolving
Commitments and/or (ii) the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments; provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Commitments established hereunder shall not
exceed US$1,000,000,000 and (B) no Incremental Term Loans may be incurred prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date and (y) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall have been
reduced to zero. Each such notice shall specify (1) the date on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than
10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (2) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental
Term Commitments, as applicable, being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such
Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitment and (y) any Person that the Company proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Incremental Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and solely to the extent the consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, would be required for an assignment to such Person pursuant to Section 10.04).
(b) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans and other extensions of
credit made thereunder, and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans. The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be such
as the Company and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders shall agree upon; provided that (i) the Incremental Term Loans shall be extensions of credit to the Company that are
guaranteed only by the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) the Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loans and the other Loan Document Obligations and shall not be secured by any Liens on any assets of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, unless the Loan Document Obligations are equally and ratably secured pursuant to security documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iii) the Incremental Facility Agreement with respect
thereto shall not contain any affirmative, negative or financial covenant applicable to the Company or the Subsidiaries or any event of default that benefits the Incremental Term Lenders (but not the other Lenders), in each case, except if this
Agreement is amended to include such affirmative, negative or financial covenant or event of default for the benefit of all Lenders and (iv) if any Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the incurrence
of such Incremental Term Loans and the application of the proceeds thereof, (A) the Incremental Term Maturity Date with respect to such Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Delayed Draw Term Maturity Date, (B) the weighted
average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Delayed Draw Term Loans and (C) such Incremental Term Loans shall not be subject to any mandatory prepayment
provisions. Any Incremental Term Commitments established pursuant to a single Incremental Facility Agreement that have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate “Class” of
Commitments or Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Incremental Term Loans that have identical terms as any other Class of “term” Loans then outstanding (in
each case, disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees if not affecting the fungibility thereof for US federal income tax purposes) may, at the election of the Company, be treated as a single Class with such
outstanding “term” Loans.
85
(c) The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Company, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent (with
the Administrative Agent hereby agreeing that its consent thereto shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become
effective unless (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and the making of any
Loans thereunder to be made on such date, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in (A) in the case of the representations and
warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date of effectiveness, except in the case of any such representation or warranty that expressly relates to a
prior date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such prior date, and (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, reaffirmation agreements,
board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall have been reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Each Incremental Facility Agreement may,
without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to give effect to the provisions of this
Section, including any amendments necessary or appropriate to treat the Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans as a new Class of Commitments and Loans hereunder (including for purposes of voting).
(d) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and
henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and shall be bound by all agreements,
acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, (A) such
Incremental Revolving Commitment shall constitute (or, in the event such Incremental Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, shall increase) the Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Lender and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall
be increased by the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving
Commitment, the Applicable Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto.
86
(e) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”)
immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Lender that shall have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental
Revolving Commitments shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds and in the applicable currency an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to
the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving
effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments) multiplied by (2) the amount of each corresponding Existing Revolving Borrowing, (iii) each Incremental Revolving Lender that shall not have had a Revolving Commitment prior
to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall pay to Administrative Agent in same day funds and in the applicable currency an amount equal to the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving
effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the
Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such
Incremental Revolving Commitments) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Existing Revolving Borrowing, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental
Revolving Commitments) multiplied by (2) the amount of each corresponding Resulting Revolving Borrowing, (v) after the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have made new Revolving
Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in amounts and currencies equal to the amount and currencies of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the
Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Company shall, on behalf of all applicable Borrowers, deliver such Borrowing Request), (vi) each Revolving Lender
shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments) and (vii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay each Revolving
Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Revolving Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings. The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by
the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.13 if the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.
87
(f) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender holding an Incremental Term Commitment of any Class shall make a Loan to the Company in an amount equal to such
Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement.
(g) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Company referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in
each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and, in the case of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, of the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto.
SECTION 2.19. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request
any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit (or to amend or extend outstanding Letters of Credit) denominated in any LC Currency, for its own account or, so long as (if such Subsidiary is not a Borrowing Subsidiary) the Company is a joint and
several co-applicant with respect thereto, for the account of any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability
Period (but in any event not after the latest expiration date specified in Section 2.19(c)). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Company or any Subsidiary to, or entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
To the extent any letter of credit application or other document submitted or entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary to or with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants,
defaults or events of default that are not set forth in this Agreement (or that are inconsistent with this Agreement, including because they do not contain the standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality consistent with
those set forth in this Agreement), such representations or warranties, covenants, defaults and events of default shall, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Company, be deemed to be not a part of such letter of credit application or
other document (or, in the case of such inconsistency, be deemed to be reformulated (including to include the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein) to conform to the terms of this Agreement) without
further action by any Person, and each Issuing Bank expressly agrees that no default, breach or penalty under such letter of credit application or other document shall arise as a result thereof. The Company unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary that is not a Borrowing Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Company will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of
LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.09(c) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor of the obligations of any Subsidiary that shall be an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). Each Existing Letter of
Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (f) of this Section), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date for the account of the applicable Borrower; provided that the Company shall be primarily liable for any obligation of any Subsidiary (other than a Borrowing Subsidiary) under any such Letter of Credit. This Section shall not be
construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter
of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing
Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or, in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary, shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital or liquidity requirement, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense, in each case for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder, (ii) the issuance of such Letter of
Credit would violate one or more policies of general applicability of such Issuing Bank or (iii) such Letter of Credit is not in the currency approved for issuance by such Issuing Bank. The issuance of Letters of Credit by any Issuing Bank
shall be subject to customary procedures of such Issuing Bank. No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue (but if requested as set forth above, may issue) trade Letters of Credit or Letters of Credit in the form of bank guaranties. It is
understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section (and any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) in respect of Letters of Credit will apply to bank guaranties, mutatis mutandis, with the intention of having the same effect for both letters of credit and bank guaranties.
88
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit
(other than an automatic annual extension of such Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms), the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this
Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency of such Letter of Credit (which shall be an LC Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable
Issuing Bank to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit or bank guaranty application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any such request. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon each issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will not, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, exceed the LC
Commitment of such Issuing Bank, (ii) the aggregate LC Exposure will not exceed US$750,000,000 and (iii) the Revolving Exposure of each Revolving Lender will not exceed its Revolving Commitment. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not
permit any issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under paragraph (k) of this Section.
89
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms expire at or prior to the close of business on the Letter of Credit Termination Date; provided that, if the applicable Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto in writing, a Letter of Credit may expire on a date later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date if such Letter of Credit is, at the
time it is issued, amended or extended (or such other time as may be agreed to in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank), cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped in an amount and manner and pursuant to documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as a “Backstopped Letter of Credit”).
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Such payment by the Revolving Lenders shall be made (i) if the currency of the applicable LC
Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be US Dollars, in US Dollars and (ii) subject to paragraph (l) of this Section, if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be a currency other than US Dollars, in
US Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment, calculated by the Administrative Agent using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit, any fluctuation in currency values, the occurrence and continuance of any Default, any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the
International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and (ii) each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying,
upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended or extended (or, in the case of an automatic annual
extension of such Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms, at least two Business Days prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders
shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any
obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).
90
(e) Disbursements. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued
by it and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (promptly confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives notice of such LC
Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in US Dollars and is not less than US$1,000,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to
borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make
such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make any such reimbursement payment when due, (i) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit
denominated in any currency other than US Dollars, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the
US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender
of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, and each Revolving Lender shall pay in US Dollars to the Administrative Agent
on the date such notice is received its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such
Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any
currency other than US Dollars would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required
to be made in US Dollars, such Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender.
91
(g) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall
be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii)
payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the
International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided
that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final and nonappealable judgment that in making any such determination the applicable Issuing Bank acted
with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof (determined in accordance with the definition thereof) shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable
Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to US Dollars of any LC Disbursement made in any other LC Currency pursuant to paragraph (f)
or (l) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an LC Currency other than US Dollars, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (f)
or (l) of this Section, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, it
being understood that such Issuing Bank may deem the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate to represent such cost of funding) plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Term SOFR
Revolving Loans at such time; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section
2.10(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been
made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.
92
(i) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder
shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the
effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed
to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.
(j) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Company may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing
Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery
thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates)
shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(c). Notwithstanding
the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.
(k) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set
forth elsewhere in this Section, (i) report in writing to the Administrative Agent periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends or extends any Letter of Credit, the
date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the currency and stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amounts
thereof shall have changed), (iii) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC
Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
93
(l) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the applicable Borrowers are at the time or
become thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an LC Currency other than US Dollars (other than amounts in respect of which any
Borrower has deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative
Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an LC
Currency other than US Dollars and (iii) of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in an LC Currency other than US Dollars under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further
action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the date that the Loans become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such
date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender in respect of the obligations described in this
paragraph shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.
(m) Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement (other than for purposes of Section 2.09), the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any
document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases (other than any such increase
consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.
94
(n) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or a Majority in
Interest of the Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in US Dollars equal to the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) amounts required to be deposited in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be deposited in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement,
except that amounts required to be deposited in respect of LC Disbursements in an LC Currency other than US Dollars in respect of which the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in US Dollars as
provided in paragraph (f) or (l) of this Section and interest accrued thereon shall be deposited in US Dollars, and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company under Section 7.01(i). The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this
paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.08(b) or 2.17(c). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be in
Cash Equivalent Investments if any such investments are made (it being understood that any such investments shall be at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense), such deposits
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they
have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of (A) a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (B) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining
cash collateral shall be less than the total LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an
amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been
cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.08(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that the
applicable excess referred to in such Section shall have been eliminated and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrowers provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.17(c), such amount (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers, upon request of the Borrowers, to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit
that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
SECTION 2.20. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole
discretion, make Swingline Loans denominated in US Dollars to any Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, provided that, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Swingline Loans shall not exceed US$75,000,000, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Agreement to the obligation of the Swingline Lender
to make a Swingline Loan being subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions or to the Swingline Lender not being required to fund any Swingline Loan absent the occurrence of certain events (or words of similar import) shall not be deemed
to create any obligation of the Swingline Lender to make or fund any Swingline Loan other than in its sole discretion.
95
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall submit to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Swingline Borrowing Request, signed by its Senior Officer, not later than
1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan. Each such Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the name of the applicable Borrower, the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the
amount of the requested Swingline Loan and the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Swingline Loan requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement
as provided in Section 2.19(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. If the Swingline Lender shall have determined, in its sole discretion, to make the requested Swingline Loan, then the Swingline Lender shall
make such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in the applicable Swingline Borrowing Request or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 4:00 p.m., Local Time, on
the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a
portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice
as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, the
Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the applicable Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the
time such Swingline Loan was made, the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances
described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made (it being understood and agreed that, in the event the Swingline Lender shall
have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to make any Swingline Loan until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to
exist). Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.04 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired
pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other Person on
behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to repay such
Swingline Loan.
96
(d) The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the successor Swingline Lender and, except in the case of a resignation by the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section
2.20(e), the replaced Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid
interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the
replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such

98
(b) Upon the execution by the Company and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this
Agreement; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to request
or receive further Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans or obtain Letters of Credit under this Agreement) until (i) all Loans made to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have been repaid (including with proceeds of Revolving Loans concurrently
borrowed by the Company or another Borrowing Subsidiary) and (ii) (A) to the extent the Company is not a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto, (x) all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall

bound by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (if it is theretofore a party thereto) as so amended, waived or otherwise modified.

interest thereon and its other Obligations, including general fees, reimbursements, indemnities and charges for which it is severally liable hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document

party, each Borrower is duly authorized to borrow Loans and obtain Letters of Credit hereunder and each Loan Party is duly authorized to perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party. The Transactions do not and will

market terms for Indebtedness of such type and such restrictions and conditions would not reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Company and the other Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under
the Loan Documents and (B) if such restrictions and conditions restrict Liens on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and Designated Subsidiaries, the applicable agreements shall not restrict the Company and the Designated
Subsidiaries from creating, incurring or permitting to exist Liens upon any of their assets to secure any Obligations so long as the aggregate principal amount of any Indebtedness so secured does not, at any time, exceed the amount equal to
the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect at such time (or, if the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated, the aggregate amount thereof most recently in effect) and the aggregate principal amount of the Delayed Draw
Term Loans outstanding at such time and (xiv) in connection with any Securitization Transaction or Permitted Receivables Financing Program, restrictions and conditions imposed on (x) the Receivable Assets subject thereto and (y), if
applicable, any Securitization Subsidiary, the Capital Securities in or assets of any Securitization Subsidiary or, in each case, any assets ancillary to any of the foregoing.

the Persons so acquired) paid by it exceeds US$500,000,000, the Company may, by a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (which shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender), increase the maximum Leverage Ratio permitted under this
Section to (i) 4.00 to 1.00 at the end of the Fiscal Quarter during which such Material Acquisition is consummated and at the end of each of the three Fiscal Quarters immediately following such Fiscal Quarter and (ii) 3.75 to 1.00 at the
end of each of the fourth and fifth full Fiscal Quarters after the date such Material Acquisition is consummated.

124
ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as Administrative
Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.
125
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents with respect to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary,
under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any
Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Company, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, including with respect to the existence and the aggregate amount of any Designated Cash
Management Obligations or Designated Hedge Obligations at any time, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent neither warrants nor accepts responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement (or any
component thereof) or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor (except such as shall result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Lender being a Restricted
Lender unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received the written notice from such Lender referred to in Section 1.09, and then only as and to the extent specified in such notice, and any determination of whether the Required
Lenders or any other requisite Lenders shall have provided a consent or direction in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any delivery to the Administrative Agent of any such written notice
subsequent to such consent or direction being provided by the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders.
126
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in
fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may
act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, prior to the making of such Loan or such event as to such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
For all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents:
(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, an Issuing Bank, a Bank Product Provider or any Person
that has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Bank Product Provider (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Bank Product Provider or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined
in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding paragraph (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously
transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest,
fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the
Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Bank Product Provider or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient
that received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event 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 (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 in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this paragraph (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
127
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding paragraph (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that
if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (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, (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), or (z) that such Lender, such Bank Product Provider or such Issuing Bank or other such recipient,
otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case:
(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be
presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment
or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender, such Bank Product Provider or such Issuing Bank shall (or, with
respect to any Payment Recipient that received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its
receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (b).
(c) Each Lender, each Bank Product Provider and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, such Bank Product Provider or such Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender,
such Bank Product Provider or such Issuing Bank from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) above or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
128
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative
Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) above, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient that received
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to
have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or
such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and
unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Company) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any notes evidencing such Loans to the Company or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to
be a Lender hereunder solely with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments, which
shall survive as to such assigning Lender, and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net
proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf). For the
avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees
that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated,
the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or
otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company 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 Company or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making any payment hereunder that became subject to such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an
Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous
Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under paragraphs (a) through (f) above shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
129
The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give
notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Xxxxx, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof,
the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, subject to the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such
successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent
to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the retiring Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person, (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the retiring Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and
each Issuing Bank and (iii) the retiring Administrative Agent may continue to hold, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, any cash collateral received by it pursuant to Section 2.19(n). Following the effectiveness of the
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the
Administrative Agent or while holding cash collateral as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
130
Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related
Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender and
Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility as set forth herein and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans or providing other similar
facilities in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or
holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that it is sophisticated with respect to
decisions to make, acquire or hold commercial loans and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire or hold such commercial loans, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans or
providing such other facilities.
Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other document pursuant to which it shall become a
Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any United States (Federal or state) or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up or similar law
now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and shall be deemed, by its acceptance of the
benefits of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have been authorized by each other holder of any Obligations) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or other holders of any Obligations, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents
(including under Section 10.03).
Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 10.08 (or any similar provision in any other Loan Document) or with respect to a Lender’s right
to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no holder of any Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the holders of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof. In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no agreement relating to any Designated Cash Management Obligations or Designated Hedge Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any holder of Obligations that is a party thereto
any rights in connection with the management or release of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s,
Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121
(as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Corruption Laws, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or
their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures
required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.
132
Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date
such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that at least one of
the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit,
the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a
class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain
transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in,
administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE
84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) and (k) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to
the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit,
the Commitments and this Agreement or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
In addition, unless clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in
clause (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (a) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to and (b) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the
date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that none of the
Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Xxxxxx’s entrance not, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto
or thereto).
133
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities and exculpatory provisions provided for hereunder or
thereunder.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or
expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and
expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, except solely to the extent of the Company’s express rights to consent pursuant to
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Loan Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

ARTICLE IX
Parent Guarantee
SECTION 9.01. Parent Guarantee. For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
and to induce the Revolving Lenders and the Swingline Lender to make Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, to each Borrowing Subsidiary and the Issuing Banks to issue, amend or extend any Letters of Credit for the account
of any Borrowing Subsidiary (and the Revolving Lenders to participate in such Letters of Credit as set forth herein), the Company hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future Loan Document Obligations of each Borrowing Subsidiary, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim in such proceeding), fees, expenses or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations”, and each such Borrowing Subsidiary
being an “Obligor” and collectively, the “Obligors”).
SECTION 9.02. Waivers. The Company waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notice of the
acceptance of this Parent Guarantee and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof. The Company further waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, protest,
notice of notices delivered or demand made on any Obligor or action or delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks or any other holder of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations to sue any Obligor, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof.
The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other holders of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Company their assessments of the financial condition
of the Obligors.
135
SECTION 9.03. Guarantee Absolute. This Parent Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection,
is intended to have the same effect as if the Company were a primary obligor of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations and not merely a surety, and the validity and enforceability of this Parent Guarantee shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary
Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time, (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof or any
agreement relating thereto, (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, (d) any release, surrender, compromise,
settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other guarantees with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person with
respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof, (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any
agreement relating thereto, (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations other than the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Parent
Guarantee even though the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or to amounts which are not covered
by this Parent Guarantee, (g) any change in the ownership of any Obligor or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Obligor, (h) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other
governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, (i) the failure of the Company or any Obligor to maintain in
full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or this Parent Guarantee, or to take
any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or this Parent Guarantee, (j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Company
may have at any time against any Obligor, or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction, (k) the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Issuing Bank’s election, in any case or proceeding instituted under
chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by the Company, as debtor in
possession, under section 363 or 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) the disallowance of all or any portion any Person’s claims for repayment of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations under section 502 or 506 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, or (n) any other circumstances, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which could constitute a defense to a guarantor, in each case, whether or not the Company shall have had notice or knowledge of
any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (n) of this Section. It is agreed that the Company’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other guarantees or other obligations at any time in effect
with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof and that the Company’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other
guarantees or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligor of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations in the manner agreed upon between the Obligor and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and other holders of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations.
SECTION 9.04. Acceleration. The Company agrees that, as between the Company on the one hand and the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the other holders of Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, on the other hand, the obligations of each Obligor guaranteed under this Article IX may be declared to be forthwith
due and payable, or may be deemed automatically to have been accelerated, as provided in Section 7.01 for purposes of this Article IX, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting
such Obligor or otherwise) preventing such declaration as against such Obligor and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Obligor) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Company for purposes of this Article IX.
136
SECTION 9.05. Marshaling; Reinstatement. None of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative
Agent or any other holder of Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, or any Person acting for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, shall have any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Company or against or in payment of any
or all of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations. If the Company or any Obligor makes a payment or payments to any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any other holder of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary
Obligation, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to such Borrower, the Company or any other Person, or their respective
estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, including, without limitation, the Company, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of the
Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or
satisfaction.
SECTION 9.06. Subrogation. Until the irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Loan Document
Obligations (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made), the termination of all commitments which could give rise to any Guaranteed
Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, the Company shall not exercise any right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, and hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any other holder of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations now has or may hereafter have against the
Company, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, and the Company hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other liability of any Obligor to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and/or any other holder of any Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations.
SECTION 9.07. Termination Date. Subject to Section 9.05, this Parent Guarantee shall continue in effect
until the later of (a) the Revolving Maturity Date and (b) the date on which this Agreement has otherwise expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations have been paid in
full in cash (other than (x) Designated Cash Management Obligations and Designated Hedge Obligations and (y) contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been
made, it being understood, however, that this Parent Guarantee shall remain in effect as to such obligations if an Event of Default shall have occurred and the other Guaranteed Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations shall have been discharged
through an exercise of remedies).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder

under Article II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by such electronic communication. Any notices
or other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary may be delivered or furnished, in addition to email, by other electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved in advance by it; provided
that approval of such procedures may be limited or rescinded by such Person by notice to each other such Person. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be
deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment); provided that if such
notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient; and (ii)

(d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication by posting such
Communication on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties
warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform, and the Administrative Agent expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of
its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for
damages of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform except, in the case of direct damages of any Loan Party (but not
any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages), to the extent arising from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Platform.
139
SECTION 10.02.Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be permitted by paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders
and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties that are parties thereto (or, in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary, by the
Company on its behalf), in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) (A) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 in respect of any extension of credit under the Delayed Draw
Term Facility without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, (B) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 in respect of any extension of credit under the Revolving Facility without the written
consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders or (C) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.03 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (it being understood and agreed, in each
case, that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be) or any other Loan Document, including any
amendment of any affirmative or negative covenant set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of a condition set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03), (ii)
increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder (other than as a
result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Leverage Ratio”), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than any waiver of any default interest
applicable pursuant to Section 2.10(d)), (iv) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any principal, interest or fees payable under any
Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change Section
2.15(b) or 2.15(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or payment waterfall required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this paragraph or the percentage set
forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Majority in Interest” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any
rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders or
pursuant to Section 2.18, the provisions of this paragraph and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans),
(vii) change the currency of any Loan of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, or add any new currency as an Alternative Currency without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (viii) release (including by limiting
liability in respect thereof) the Company from its obligations under the Parent Guarantee without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (ix) release (including by limiting liability in respect thereof) all or substantially all of
the value of the Guarantees created under the Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 10.14), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of
obligations guaranteed under the Guarantee Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release of any Guarantee thereunder, or (x) change any provisions of this Agreement in a manner that by its express terms adversely affects the rights in
respect of payments of, or the conditions precedent to extensions of credit by, Lenders of any Class differently than those of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each differently
affected Class; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.
140
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section:
(i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written
notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment;
(ii) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of paragraph (b) of this
Section and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification;
141
(iii) in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in the
first proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Lender that receives payment in full of the
principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by such Lender, and all other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at the time such amendment, waiver or other
modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification;
(iv) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that by its express terms affects the rights or duties hereunder or thereunder of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
the Company, the Administrative Agent and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders
hereunder at the time;
(v) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided
in Sections 2.11(b), 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 and the proviso set forth in Section 2.12(a) and the definition of “LC Commitment”, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank, may be modified as contemplated by the definition of such
term;
(vi) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided
in Section 2.21 and, in connection with any Borrowing Subsidiary becoming a party hereto, this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to
provide for such technical modifications as they determine to be necessary or advisable in connection therewith;
(vii) an amendment to this Agreement contemplated by the last sentence of the
penultimate paragraph of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” may be made pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; and
(viii) the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, Issuing Bank or
other holder of any Obligations, (A) consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the
Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Guarantee Requirement” or (B) amend, waive or otherwise modify any provision in the Guarantee Agreement, or consent to a departure by any Loan Party therefrom, to the extent the
Administrative Agent determines that such amendment, waiver, other modification or consent is necessary in order to eliminate any conflict between such provision and the terms of this Agreement.
142
(d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and
each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.
SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and
documented out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing (but limited
to a single primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of organization of any Borrowing Subsidiary), in each case, for the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers and their respective Affiliates taken as a whole (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein, including the preparation, execution and delivery of any fee letters entered into in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
143
(b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the
Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (but limited to a single primary counsel and, if reasonably
necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of organization of any Borrowing Subsidiary), in each case, for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole (which may be a single local counsel acting in
multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of primary
counsel and, if reasonably necessary, another firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any fee letters entered into in connection with
the credit facilities provided for herein, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to such fee letters, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents of their obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any
refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, under, on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary of any of them), or any other liability under
Environmental Laws related in any way to the Company, any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary of any of them), or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to any fee letter entered into in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or (2) a breach in bad faith of the funding obligations of such Indemnitee under this Agreement or (B) arise from any dispute among the Indemnitees, other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding against
the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other titled person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such and other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding arising
out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts actually paid by the Company to such Indemnitee under this paragraph
for any losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnitee is subsequently determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, to not be entitled to payment of such
amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph (b). This paragraph (b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
144
(c) To the extent that the Company fails indefeasibly to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent (or such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans, unused Revolving Commitments, Delayed Draw Term Loans and
unused Delayed Draw Term Commitments at the time outstanding or in effect (or most recently outstanding or in effect, if none of the foregoing shall be outstanding or in effect at such time).
(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, or permit any of its
Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Lender Related Person (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent arising from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a final and nonappealable judgment, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the
Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents shall not assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against the Loan Parties,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement
obligations set forth in this Section or separately agreed, including such indemnity and reimbursement obligations with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of
any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought against any Indemnitee by any third party.
(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
145
SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as expressly permitted by
Section 6.04 with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary, neither the Company nor any Borrowing Subsidiary may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), sub-agents of the Administrative Agent, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the foregoing) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no sale, assignment, novation,
transfer or delegation by any Lender of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, or shall be deemed, to extinguish any of the rights, benefits or privileges afforded by any Guarantee created
under the Loan Documents for the benefit of such Lender in relation to such of its rights or obligations, and all such rights, benefits and privileges shall continue to accrue, to the full extent thereof, for the benefit of the assignee,
transferee or delegee of such Lender in connection with each such sale, assignment, novation, transfer and delegation.
(b) (i)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may 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 Commitments, and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:
(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required (1)
in the case of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
(2) in the case of Delayed Draw Term Commitments, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further, in each case, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required with respect to assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C) each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of any Issuing Bank shall be
required with respect to assignments of Delayed Draw Term Commitments and Delayed Draw Term Loans; and
(D) the Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of the Swingline Lender
shall be required with respect to assignments of Delayed Draw Term Commitments and Delayed Draw Term Loans.
146
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided
that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent on or before the fifth Business Day after the Company shall have received notice thereof together with the applicable documentation therefor;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations in
respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform), together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500, provided that (x) only one such
processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender and (y) such processing and recordation fee may be waived by
the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion;
(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.14(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including US (Federal or State) and foreign securities laws; and
(E) assignment to any Person of Loans extended to or for the account of a Borrower
incorporated in the Netherlands shall only be permitted if the Person to whom the Loans are assigned is a Non-Public Lender at all times.
147
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a
Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(c).
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent
of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
148
(v) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption (or an
agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section
2.14(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such
Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with
respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the
assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent
(such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the
Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents
required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its
execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee and the assignment is not prohibited pursuant to
Section 10.04(b)(ii)(E). The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for an assignment to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee or for an assignment that is prohibited by Section 10.04(b)(ii)(E).
(c) (i)Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender
or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and
Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement
or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders (or all the Lenders of the applicable Class). The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and
2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.
149
(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain records of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that any such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
150
SECTION 10.05.Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any of the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or any Related Party of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
Loan Document was executed and delivered or any credit was extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any interest accrued on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as any of
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in
full of the Revolving Facility, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrowers (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a
letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of determining whether the Company is required to comply with Articles V and VI hereof, but excluding Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity
provisions set forth in any other Loan Document), and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.19(d) or 2.19(f). In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that on the Letter of Credit Termination Date any Letter of Credit shall be a Backstopped Letter of Credit, then, unless on such
date any unreimbursed drawing shall have been outstanding thereunder, such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes
of determining whether the Company is required to comply with Articles V and VI hereof, but excluding Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity provisions set forth in any other Loan Document),
and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.19(d) or 2.19(f). The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(d), 9.05, 10.03,
10.18 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
151
SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on 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 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, including the
commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment advices with respect to the credit facilities established hereby submitted by any Lender (but do not supersede any provision of any engagement letter
entered into in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein, to the extent, pursuant to the terms of such engagement letter, such provisions expressly survive the effectiveness of this Agreement or any provisions of any fee
letters entered into in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each, an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an
actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,”
and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries
by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery
thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to agree to accept
Electronic Signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent
and the Company have agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Company and each other Loan Party shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, the Company or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto (A) agrees that, for
all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Company and the other Loan Parties,
Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Ancillary Document
shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agrees that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Company and the other Loan Parties may, at its option, create one or
more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the
original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to
contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary
Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto, and (D) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Loan Party for any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s, any Issuing Bank’s, the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures or transmissions by emailed .pdf or any other electronic
means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Company or any other
Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
152
SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender
and Issuing Bank and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank or by such an Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations then due of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank
different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will any deposits or other amounts at any
time held or other obligations at any time owing by any Lender or Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the account of any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary be set off and applied against any obligations under this
Agreement of the Company or any Domestic Borrowing Subsidiary.
153
SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement, and any
claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, in each case, sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and, subject to the final sentence of this Section, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such United States
District Court or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, such Supreme Court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary or any of its properties in the court of the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign Borrowing Subsidiary.
(c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
154
(e) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Company, and the
Company hereby accepts such appointment, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents
that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to any Borrowing Subsidiary in care of
the Company at the Company’s address used for purposes of giving notices under Section 10.01, and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf.
(f) In the event any Borrowing Subsidiary or any of its assets has or hereafter acquires, in any
jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any immunity from jurisdiction, legal proceedings, attachment (whether before or after judgment), execution,
judgment or setoff, such Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives such immunity.
SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
155
SECTION 10.12.Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, insurers, reinsurers, legal counsel and other agents and advisors, it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made either are informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential or are subject to customary confidentiality obligations of employment or professional practice, (b)
to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners)
(in which case such Person agrees to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants
or any Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform the Company promptly
thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any Transactions, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings
substantially the same as those of this Section (which shall be deemed to include those required to be made in order to obtain access to information posted on any Platform), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in (or its Related Parties),
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (or its Related Parties), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap,
derivative, securitization, insurance or reinsurance (or other credit risk mitigation) transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary and their respective obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in
connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the
credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Company, (i) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
with the administration and management of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such information is limited to the information about this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (j) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Company or any Subsidiary that is not known by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate to be prohibited from disclosing such Information to such Persons by a legal, contractual, or
fiduciary obligation to the Company or any Subsidiary or (k) to the extent that such information is independently discovered or developed by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the foregoing without
the use of any Information and without violating the terms of this Section. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or
its businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any
Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any Subsidiary 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. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement binding on the Administrative Agent or any Arranger, such Persons may
disclose Information as provided in this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any Person from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a Governmental
Authority or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any Person.
156
SECTION 10.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time
the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section
shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 10.14.Release of Guarantees under Guarantee Agreement. (a)Subject to Section 2.04 of the Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantees made under the
Guarantee Agreement shall automatically terminate and be released when all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim
has been made) have been paid in full in cash, the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under this Agreement and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding.
(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents
upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented
to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination
or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each holder of any Obligations irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion, to effect the releases set forth in this Section.
157
SECTION 10.15. USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation Notice. Each Lender and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party
in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
SECTION 10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees
that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks
and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates,
and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts
or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their
Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may
have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated
hereby.
SECTION 10.17.Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and
(ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States (Federal or state) and
foreign securities laws.
158
(b) The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by or on behalf of any
Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that
the Company has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Company has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. The Company agrees to clearly
designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely on any such designation by the Company without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.
(c) If the Company does not file this Agreement with the SEC, then the Company hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to distribute the execution version of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to all Lenders, including their Public Side Lender Representatives. The Company acknowledges its understanding that Lenders, including their
Public Side Lender Representatives, may be trading in securities of the Company and its Affiliates while in possession of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.18. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it
is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including each Borrowing Subsidiary) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of
the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal
banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement
Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such deficiency.
SECTION 10.19.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan
Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any
such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Issuing Bank party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
159
(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted
by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of
the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 10.20. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents
provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge
and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the
regulations promulgated thereunder, the “US Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may
in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a US Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such
Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such
Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the US Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a US Special Resolution Regime, 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 US 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.
160
SECTION 10.21. Dutch Loan Party Representation. If any Loan Party incorporated under the laws of the
Netherlands is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in or made pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and
accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney's authority and effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands.
SECTION 10.22. Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates and replaces in
its entirety the Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement. All rights, benefits, indebtedness, interest, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement are hereby amended, restated, replaced and superseded,
in their entirety, on the terms and provisions set forth herein; provided that all indemnification obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to the Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement shall survive the amendment and restatement of the
Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, on and as of the Restatement Effective Date, Schedule 2.01 sets forth all the Delayed Draw Term
Commitments of all the Delayed Draw Term Lenders and all the Revolving Commitments of all the Revolving Lenders (and no Person whose name does not appear on Schedule 2.01 shall have, or shall be deemed to have, a Revolving Commitment or a
Delayed Draw Term Commitment, as the case may be, on the Restatement Effective Date, it being understood and agreed that each such Person, if a lender under the Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement,
shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18 for applicable matters arising under or in connection with the Existing DDTL/RCF Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date).
