(c)All computations of interest shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable; provided, however, that if a Revolving Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on such Revolving Loan.

(d)Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest; provided however, that if such extension would cause such payment to be made in a new calendar month or beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

Section 2.11Loan Account. The Lender maintains on its books a loan account in the name of the Borrower (the “Loan Account”), showing the Revolving Loans, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest, and any other amounts due and sums paid hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The entries made by the Lender in the Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lender as to the amount at any time due from the Borrower, absent manifest error.

Section 2.12Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Revolving Loans and use the Letters of Credit issued hereunder solely (a) to pay certain fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and entering into this Credit Agreement, and (b) for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes; provided, however, that no portion of the proceeds of any of the Revolving Loans or any Letter of Credit may be used to acquire any Margin Stock or otherwise be used in a manner which would violate Section 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and as in effect from time to time, or any regulations issued pursuant thereto.

Section 2.13Reserved.

Section 2.14Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.350% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Revolving Loan Commitment terminates and the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The accrued Unused Fee shall be payable in arrears within one (1) Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter and on the earlier of the date the Revolving Loan Commitments terminate and the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. The Unused Fee 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).

Section 2.15Incremental Commitments.

(a)Request for Revolving Loan Commitment Increase. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Lender (such notice, an “Incremental Request”), request increases in the Revolving Loan Commitment (such increases, the “Incremental Commitments”) to an aggregate amount not exceeding $20,000,000; provided, that the Borrower shall make no more than three (3) requests for Incremental Commitments hereunder.

(b)Incremental Lender. An Incremental Commitment may only be provided by the Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lender shall have no obligation to agree to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender.

(c)Terms of Incremental Commitment. The Lender and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section (an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”); provided that such date shall be a Business Day at least 90 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Effective as of the Incremental Commitment Effective Date, the Incremental Commitment Increase shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (but not a separate facility hereunder) and the amount of commitments set forth in the definition of Revolving Loan Commitment shall be updated accordingly to reflect such Incremental Commitment.

Section 2.16Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Lender and the Borrower may amend this Credit Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Lender as set forth in this Section 2.16 may be provided, at the option of the Lender (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR), then the Lender may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Lender may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Revolving Loan of or conversion to Floating Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Floating Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

SECTION 3
LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.1L/C Commitment.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to issue letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Availability Period, in such form as may reasonably be approved by the Lender from time to time; provided that the Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the L/C Exposure would exceed either the L/C Commitment or the Available Revolving Commitment at such time. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lender in its sole discretion, each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance, and (y) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic renewal for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b)The Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, renew, or reinstate any Letter of Credit if:

(i)such issuance, amendment, renewal or reinstatement would violate, or cause the Lender to exceed any limits imposed hereunder or by, any applicable law;

(ii)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator prohibits or restrains such action, or any or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Lender or any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender prohibits or requests the Lender to refrain from issuing, amending, renewing, or reinstating letters of credit generally or the requested Letter of Credit, or imposes any new restriction, reserve, or capital requirement (not in effect as of the Effective Date and for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated), or results in any unreimbursed loss, cost, or expense (not applicable as of the Effective Date) that the Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material;

(iii)any applicable condition set forth in Section 7.2 has not been satisfied;

(iv)the requested Letter of Credit is not in form and substance acceptable to the Lender, or its issuance, amendment or renewal would violate any applicable law, regulation, or the internal policies of the Lender; or

(v)the requested Letter of Credit provides for automatic reinstatement of its stated amount after any drawing.

Section 3.2Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may request that the Lender issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower by delivering to the Lender, at its notice address specified herein, a duly completed Application, together with any certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of such Application and all required supporting materials, the Lender will process the request in accordance with its customary procedures and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, will promptly issue the requested Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application and all required supporting materials. The original Letter of Credit will be delivered to the beneficiary or as otherwise agreed by the Lender and the

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the Lender will as soon as reasonably practical provide a copy of the issued Letter of Credit to the Borrower.

Section 3.3Fees and Other Charges.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit issued for the account of (or at the request of) the Borrower: (i) a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Margin, multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Letter of Credit Maturity Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit; and (ii) the Lender's standard and reasonable fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of (or at the request of) the Borrower, or processing drawings thereunder. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b)In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(c)The Borrower shall furnish to the Lender such other documents and information pertaining to any requested Letter of Credit issuance, amendment or renewal, including any L/C Related Documents, as the Lender may require.

(d)All fees payable under this Section 3.3 shall be fully earned on the date paid and nonrefundable.

Section 3.4Reimbursement. If the Lender makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof, and the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than the immediately following Business Day. Each such payment shall be made to the Lender at its address for notices specified herein, in Dollars and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that the Borrower may, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan in an equivalent amount, and to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan.

Section 3.5Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this SECTION 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Lender that the Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's obligations hereunder shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, or any claims

whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption, delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Lender to the Borrower. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save the Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that the Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or (B) the failure of the Lender to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case, other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 3.6Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft is presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The Lender's responsibility to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.7Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall control.

Section 3.8Interim Interest. If the Lender makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, and the Borrower does not reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full within the time period specified in Section 3.4, the unpaid amount shall bear interest, for the account of the Lender, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the date of payment by the Borrower, at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if it were a Revolving Loan that is a Floating Rate Loan; provided that the provisions of Section 2.5 shall apply to any such amounts not paid when due.

Section 3.9Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Lender, (i) if the Lender has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has not been reimbursed by the Borrower or converted into a Revolving Loan as provided herein, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, any L/C Exposure remains outstanding, the

Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then effective L/C Exposure in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of such L/C Exposure.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a blocked, non-interest bearing deposit account with the Lender (the “Cash Collateral Account”). The Borrower hereby grants to, and subjects to the control of, the Lender a first priority security interest and Lien in the Cash Collateral Account and all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds thereof, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied. If at any time the Lender determines that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than one hundred five percent (105%) of the applicable L/C Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower will, promptly, upon demand by the Lender, provide additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided in respect of Letters of Credit or other obligations shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral following the effective termination of the applicable L/C Exposure and other obligations giving rise thereto. The Borrower may request in writing the return of any excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that Cash Collateral shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 3.10Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, the Letters of Credit shall be governed by and subject to the rules of the ISP.

SECTION 4
YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1Increased Costs.

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

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to funding based on SOFR), 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, the Lender;

(ii)subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on the Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Revolving Loans made by the Lender or any Letter of Credit;

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

(c)Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any lending office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Revolving Loans made by the Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or such the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the calculation, in reasonable detail, of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(e)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.2Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.2, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and 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 any Loan Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Loan Party, then such Loan Party 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 such 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 4.2(b)) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within ten (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 4.2(d)) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender 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 Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(f)Status of Lender. If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Loan Parties to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. The Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in

Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of prior sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

(g)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.2), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other, than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 4.3Breakage Costs In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the calculation, in reasonable detail, of any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall

be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.4Mitigation Obligations; Designation of Lending Office. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 4.1, or requires any Loan Party to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 4.2, then the Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans hereunder or issuing Letters of Credit or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 5
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Loan Party hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender, which representations and warranties shall survive the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the full and final payment, and satisfaction and discharge, of all obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents:

Each Loan Party and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign business organization authorized to conduct its activities and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the activities conducted makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.7Other Obligations. No Loan Party or any of their subsidiaries is in default in any respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition in any agreement, document or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound where such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

is dated or certified, and such information is not, or shall not be, as the case may be, incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not materially misleading as of the time when made or delivered, it being understood that any projections, estimates, pro forma information and forecasts are subject to significant contingencies and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties, and no assurances can be given that such projections, estimates, pro forma information and forecasts will be realized.

Section 5.10ERISA Compliance.

(a)Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state laws and (ii) each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

(b)There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the any Loan Party, threatened or contemplated claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)No ERISA Event has occurred, and neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)The present value of all accrued benefits under each Pension Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of the Loan Parties or any ERISA Affiliate for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero.

(e)To the extent applicable, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable requirements of law and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except to the extent that the failure so to comply could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any of their subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the

termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan that is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Parent Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the property of such Foreign Plan by a material amount, and for each Foreign Plan that is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued.

Section 5.11Sanctions; Anti-Corruption.

(a)No Loan Party or any of their subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of any Loan Party or any of their subsidiaries is a Person that is, or is owned or Controlled by Persons that are (i) the subject or target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”) or (ii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, including, without limitation, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

(b)Each of the Loan Parties, and their subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Lon Parties, the agents of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries, are in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) and any other applicable anti-corruption law, in all material respects. Each of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance with applicable Sanctions, the FCPA and any other applicable anti-corruption laws.

Section 5.12Ownership of Properties; Margin Regulations; Solvency; Liens.

(a)Each Loan Party and each of their subsidiaries owns and has good and valid title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its material real and personal property, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever, free and clear of all Liens, charges and claims, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes and except for Permitted Liens

(b)No Loan Party extends or maintains, in the ordinary course of business, credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (“Margin Stock”), and no part of any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of buying or carrying any such Margin Stock or maintaining or extending credit to others for such purpose. Following the application of the proceeds of each Revolving Loan or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin Stock.

(c)After giving effect to the disbursement of Loans (if any), each Loan Party (a) has capital (including, in the case of the Borrower, the Available Revolving Commitments)

sufficient to carry on its business; (b) is solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due; and (c) owns assets, the fair valuation of which is greater than the amount of its liabilities on this date (as such liabilities would be set forth on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with Section 6.1 if this date were the end of a calendar quarter).

(a) terminate the Revolving Loan Commitments and declare all Obligations, including the entire outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, under the Revolving Note and under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be terminated and all Obligations, including the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, and all such other amounts, shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest, demand or other requirement of any kind, each of which is hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties;

Section 8.3Cure Right. In the event that Loan Parties fail to comply with any financial covenant contained in Section 6.20 or Section 6.21 (a “Financial Covenant Default”), the Borrower shall have the right to cure such Event of Default on the following terms and conditions (the “Equity Cure Right”):

(a)In the event the Borrower desires to cure a Financial Covenant Default, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender irrevocable written notice of its intent to cure (a “Cure Notice”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements and a

Compliance Certificate as of and for the period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter as of which such Financial Covenant Default occurred (the “Testing Date”) are required to be delivered; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be permitted to exercise Equity Cure Rights hereunder (x) more than three (3) times during the term of this Credit Agreement or (y) more than once during any four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters.

(b)In the event the Borrower delivers a Cure Notice, there shall be purchased on or after the Testing Date the common equity interests (or such other equity interests on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lender) of (or cash capital contributions on or after the Testing Date to) the Parent Company the proceeds of which are then contributed to the capital of the Borrower (“Equity Cure Securities”) for cash consideration in an amount equal to (but not greater than) the amount needed to cure the applicable Financial Covenant Default (the “Financial Covenant Cure Amount”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements and a Compliance Certificate as of and for the period ending on the applicable Testing Date are required to be delivered (the “Required Contribution Date”). Such Financial Covenant Cure Amount received by the Parent Company shall be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants in Section 6.20 or Section 6.21, as applicable, at the end of the fiscal quarter in which such Financial Covenant Default occurred and any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter but shall be disregarded for purposes of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for all other purposes.

(c)If a Cure Notice has been delivered, then from and after the Testing Date related to such Cure Notice until the earlier to occur of the Required Contribution Date and the date on which the Lender is notified that the required contribution will not be made, the Event of Default on the basis of the applicable Financial Covenant Default in respect of which the Cure Notice was delivered (and any Default or Event of Default resulting solely from the failure to give notice of the Event of Default arising as a result of the Financial Covenant Default) shall be deemed to no longer exist and the Lender shall not impose default interest, accelerate the Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitments or exercise any enforcement remedy against the Parent Company, the Borrowers, any of the other subsidiaries of the Parent Company or any of their respective properties solely as a result of the Financial Covenant Default that has been identified in the Cure Notice delivered in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that until timely receipt of the Financial Covenant Cure Amount, an Event of Default shall be deemed to exist for all other purposes of this Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, SECTION 7 hereof; provided further, that if the Financial Covenant Cure Amount is not received by the Required Contribution Date, then the applicable Financial Covenant Default shall be deemed to have existed on and as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter for which the Financial Covenant Default shall have occurred.

(d)Upon timely receipt by the Parent Company in cash of the Financial Covenant Cure Amount, the Financial Covenant Default (and any Default or Event of Default resulting solely therefrom) shall be deemed cured and shall be deemed to no longer exist.

(e)To the extent a Testing Date in respect of which a Financial Covenant Cure Amount for a Financial Covenant Default is received is included in the calculation of

Consolidated EBITDA for a subsequent fiscal period, Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be deemed permanently increased by such amount for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for such subsequent period; provided, that the Financial Covenant Cure Amount shall be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the financial covenant or covenants giving rise to the Financial Covenant Default and not for any other purposes.

SECTION 10
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1Entire Agreement. This Credit Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire obligation of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to the transactions herein and therein contemplated.

Section 10.2No Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of the Lender to require performance by any Loan Party of any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall it affect the Lender’s rights to require performance of such provision at any time thereafter, nor shall it affect or impair any of the remedies, powers or rights of the Lender with respect to any other or subsequent failure, delay or default. Each and every right granted to the Lender hereunder or under any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith shall be cumulative and may be exercised at any time.

Section 10.3Assignment; Binding Effect.

(a)The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the

extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b)The Lender may, at any time, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that if at such time no Event of Default is continuing, the Lender shall obtain the prior written consent of the Borrower with respect to each such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld); provided further that (i) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if the assignment is to an Affiliate of the Lender, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Lender within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. For purposes of this Credit Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” shall mean any Person (other than a natural Person) that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender or (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company or investment or mutual fund. Subject to notification to the Borrower of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the existing Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the existing Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the existing Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, the existing Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 and, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, Section 4.2). The Loan Parties hereby agree to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 10.3(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.3(c).

(c)The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of any Loan Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans owing to it); provided that, (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, and (iv) such Participant is subject to the same confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties as is Lender. Each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.3(b); provided that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.3(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.2(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 with respect to any participation, than the 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. The Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, the Lender shall have no 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 the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Revolving Loan Commitment, any Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d)The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure its obligations, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that, no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.4Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in any such action, litigation 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 herein or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in New York Court or any court located in a jurisdiction where any Loan Party has an office. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any New York Court or any court located in a jurisdiction where any Loan Party has an office.

(d)Each Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.6 and agrees that nothing herein will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 10.5Waiver 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 RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR 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 AGENT, ATTORNEY, REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
