Credit Sweep Swing Line Loans. In the event of any Deficit Collected Balance (as defined in the Cash Management Master Agreement), the Swing Line Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to automatically make a Swing Line Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Deficit Collected Balance (each such Swing Line Loan, a “Cash Sweep Swing Line Loan”), in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Master Agreement, without any action on the part of the Borrower, so long as, after giving effect to any such Cash Sweep Swing Line Loan, (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed the Total Commitment Amount and (C) Borrower would not be required to prepay Loans or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof.

34 Upon the request of any Bank, the obligation of Borrower to repay any Swing Line Loan made by such Bank and to pay interest thereon shall be evidenced by a Swing Line Note of Borrower in the form of Exhibit B hereto, payable to the Swing Line Lender in the principal amount of its Swing Line Loan Participation Amount, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Line Loans made hereunder by the Swing Line Lender. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall be entitled under this Section 2.1B to borrow funds, repay the same in whole or in part and re-borrow hereunder at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period. C. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Fronting Bank, in its own name, but only as agent for the Banks, shall issue such Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, any Guarantor of Payment or the Insurance Subsidiary as Borrower may from time to time request. Borrower shall not request any Letter of Credit (and the Fronting Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect thereto, (a) the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment or (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment Amount. The issuance of each Letter of Credit shall confer upon each Bank the benefits and liabilities of a participation consisting of an undivided pro rata interest in the Letter of Credit to the extent of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) three (3) Business Days prior to the day upon which the Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such request shall be in a form acceptable to Agent (and the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent) and specify the face amount thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is a commercial documentary or a standby Letter of Credit, the beneficiary, the intended date of issuance, the expiry date thereof (which date shall not be later than the last day of the Commitment Period, unless Borrower Cash Collateralizes such Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to Agent), and the nature of the transaction to be supported thereby. Concurrently with each such request, Borrower, any Guarantor of Payment for whose benefit the Letter of Credit is to be issued, or the Insurance Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver to the Fronting Bank an appropriate application and agreement, being in the standard form of the Fronting Bank for such letters of credit, as amended to conform to the provisions of this Agreement if required by Agent. Agent shall give each Bank notice of each such request for a Letter of Credit. In respect of each Letter of Credit and the drafts thereunder, if any, whether issued for the account of Borrower, a Guarantor of Payment or the Insurance Subsidiary, Borrower agrees (a) to pay to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Banks, a non-refundable commission based upon the face amount of the Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable LIBORSOFR Margin (in effect on the date such Letter of Credit is issued or renewed) times the face amount of such Letter of Credit during such fiscal quarter (the “Letter of Credit Fee”); (b) to pay to Agent, for its own account as issuing bank, a fronting fee based upon the face amount of the Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to ten (10) basis points times the face amount of such Letter of Credit; and (c) to pay to the Fronting Bank, for its sole account, such other issuance, amendment, negotiation, draw,

35 acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are generally charged by the Fronting Bank under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time. Whenever a Letter of Credit is drawn, Borrower shall immediately reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount drawn. In the event that the amount drawn is not reimbursed by Borrower within one (1) Business Day of the drawing of such Letter of Credit, at the sole option of Agent (and the Fronting Bank, if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent), Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1A, in the amount drawn. Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. Each Bank agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.1A when required by this Section 2.1C is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse, in full, the Fronting Bank for the amount drawn on such Letter of Credit. Each such Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrower hereunder. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note such Bank’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. If, for any reason, Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent) is unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it is impracticable to, convert any Letter of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent) shall have the right to request that each Bank purchase a participation in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit, and Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof (by facsimile or telephone, confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action, Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent) hereby agrees to grant to each Bank, and each Bank hereby agrees to acquire from Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent), an undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent), for its sole account, such Bank’s ratable share of the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment Percentage). Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in the amount due under any Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.1C is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Bank shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.1C by wire transfer of immediately

36 available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.2 with respect to Revolving Loans. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record on its records such Bank’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. SECTION 2.2 CONDITIONS TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. The obligation of the Banks to make a Loan (other than any Credit Sweep Swing Line Loan), convert a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan or Base Rate Loan or continue a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan and of Agent to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned, in the case of each borrowing, conversion or continuation of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, upon: (a) all conditions precedent as listed in Article IV hereof shall have been satisfied; (b) with respect to Base Rate Loans, receipt by Agent of a Notice of Loan, such notice to be received by 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the proposed date of borrowing or conversion, with respect to LIBORTerm SOFR Loans (other than Daily LIBOR Loans), by 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, conversion or continuation and with respect to Daily LIBORSimple SOFR Loans by 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the proposed date of borrowing. Agent shall notify each Bank of the date, amount and initial Interest Period (if applicable) promptly upon the receipt of such notice, and, in any event, by 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date such notice is received. On the date such Loan is to be made, each Bank shall provide Agent, not later than 3:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time), with the amount in federal or other immediately available funds, required of it; (c) with respect to Letters of Credit, satisfaction of the notice provisions set forth in Section 2.1C hereof; (d) Borrower’s request for (i) a Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), increased by increments of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), (ii) a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (iii) a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); (e) the fact that no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or immediately after the making, conversion or continuation of the Loan or issuance of the Letter of Credit would exist; and (f) the fact that each of the representations and warranties contained in Article VI hereof shall be true and correct with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date of the making, conversion, or continuation of such Loan, or the issuance of the Letter of Credit, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier date. At no time shall Borrower request that LIBORTerm SOFR Loans be outstanding for more than ten (10) different Interest Periods at any time.

37 Each request by Borrower for the making of a Loan, conversion of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan or Base Rate Loan or continuation of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan, or for the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower as of the date of such request as to the facts specified in (e) and (f) above. Each request for a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and Borrower shall indemnify Agent and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by Agent or the Banks as a result of any failure by Borrower to consummate such transaction including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Banks to fund such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense submitted by the Banks to Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. SECTION 2.3 PAYMENT ON NOTES, ETC. All payments of principal, interest and commitment and other fees shall be made to Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Banks. Agent, within one (1) Business Day, shall distribute to each Bank its ratable share of the amount of principal, interest, and commitment and other fees received by it for the account of such Bank. Each Bank shall record (a) any principal, interest or other payment, and (b) the principal amount of the Base Rate Loans and LIBORTerm SOFR Loans and all prepayments thereof and the applicable dates with respect thereto, by such method as such Bank may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from Borrower’s obligations under each Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans set forth on the records of Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal and interest owing and unpaid on each Note. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Note, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Note; provided, however, that, with respect to any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly. SECTION 2.4 PREPAYMENT. Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Banks, all or any part of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, as designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Borrower shall give Agent notice of prepayment of any Base Rate Loan by not later than 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the Business Day such prepayment is to be made and notice of the prepayment of any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan (other than any Swing Line Loan) not later than 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) three (3) Business Days before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without any premium or penalty, other than any prepayment fees, penalties or other charges that may be contained in any Hedge Agreement. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least, in the case of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan), One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or, if less, the full amount of such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan), or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.

38 SECTION 2.5 COMMITMENT AND OTHER FEES; REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT. (a) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks, as a consideration for the Revolving Credit Commitment, a commitment fee from the date hereof to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, payable quarterly, equal to (a) the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on the payment date, times (b) (i) the Total Revolving Commitment Amount minus (ii) the average daily Revolving Credit Exposure (other than outstanding Swing Line Loans) during such quarter. The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears, on September 30, 2021 and on the last day of each succeeding March, June, September and December thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period. (b) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its sole benefit, the agent fees agreed to by Agent and Borrower from time to time. (c) Borrower may at any time or from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably (for all of the Banks) in part the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks hereunder to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving notice to Agent not fewer than three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount for all of the Banks of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the date of each such reduction and such Bank’s proportionate share thereof. After each such reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Total Revolving Commitment Amount as so reduced. If Borrower reduces in whole the Total Revolving Commitment Amount of the Banks, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Revolving Credit Notes, together with all interest and commitment and other fees accrued and unpaid, and provided that no issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Commitment shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period. (d) At any time after the Effective Date and prior to the last day of the Commitment Period, Borrower may, by written notice to Agent, request that the Total Revolving Commitment Amount be increased up to the maximum principal amount of Four Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($425,000,000), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request and on the date of and after giving effect to any such increase. Upon receipt of any such request, Agent shall deliver a copy of such request to each Bank. Borrower shall set forth in such request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Revolving Commitment Amount and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than (ten) 10 Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such request and that, in any event, must be at least ninety (90) days prior to the last day of the Commitment Period), and shall offer each Bank the opportunity to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by its Commitment Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Bank shall, by notice to Borrower and Agent given not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of Agent’s

39 notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Bank so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (and any such Bank that does not deliver such a notice within such period of ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and each Bank so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). If, on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Agent shall have delivered notice as set forth above, the Increasing Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Commitment Amount requested by Borrower, Borrower may arrange for one or more Persons that are acceptable to Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”), and Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its status as a Bank with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder. Upon the execution of such documentation, each such Augmenting Lender shall become a party to this Agreement without any consent from the Banks of any kind. Any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment Amount may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by Borrower if Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders, in the full amount. Any fees charged by any Increasing Lender shall be based solely upon the increased amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment and shall not be in excess of ten (10) basis points. Each of the parties hereto agrees that Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.5(d), the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Banks in accordance with their new Commitment Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of Agent in consultation with Borrower: (w) by requiring the outstanding Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Loans; (x) by causing the Non- Increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders; (y) by permitting the Loans outstanding at the time of any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Banks would hold such Loans other than in accordance with their new Commitment Percentages; or (z) by any combination of the foregoing; provided, however that, Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the foregoing without giving rise to, or to minimize, any indemnification obligations by Borrower pursuant to Article III hereof. On the effective date of any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.5, Schedule 1 hereto shall be deemed automatically amended to reflect the new Revolving Credit Commitments and Commitment Percentages of each Bank. SECTION 2.6 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES; DEFAULT RATE. With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans and commitment and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days

40 elapsed. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur hereunder, (a) the principal of each Note and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate; and (b) the fee for the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased from the Applicable LIBORSOFR Margin then in effect to three percent (3%). In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowable by law. SECTION 2.7 MANDATORY PAYMENT. If the Revolving Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment Amount, Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans sufficient to bring the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit within the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks. Any prepayment of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.8 hereof. SECTION 2.8 DEFAULTING BANK. 1. Defaulting Bank Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Banks; (b) Defaulting Bank Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Bank shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Fronting Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with this Section 2.8; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Fronting Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section 2.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Fronting Banks or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Fronting Banks or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of

41 competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable facility without giving effect to Section 2.8(1)(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.8(1)(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank (including such Defaulting Bank) irrevocably consents hereto. (c) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank). (B) Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocable to its applicable percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.8(1)(b). (C) With respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit Fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to each Fronting Bank and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Fronting Bank’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective applicable percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Bank to exceed

42 such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 10.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.8(1)(b). 2. Defaulting Bank Cure. If Borrower, the Agent and the Swing Line Lender and Fronting Bank agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with the Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.8(1)(d), whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. 3. New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Fronting Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIBORTERM SOFR LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES. SECTION 3.1 RESERVES OR DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS, ETC. If, at any time, there is a Change in Law, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to a Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loan based on SOFR, or to increase the cost to a Bank or the Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum (whether principal, interest or any other amount) received or receivable by a Bank or the Fronting Bank with

43 respect to a LIBORany Loan based on SOFR, then, upon demand by such Bank, Borrower shall pay to such Bank from time to time on Interest Adjustment Dates with respect to such LIBOR Loan, as additional consideration hereunder, additional amounts sufficient to fully compensate and indemnify such Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount, assuming (which assumption such Bank need not corroborate) such additional cost or reduced amount was allocable to such LIBOR Loan. A certificate as to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section 3.1, setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Bank, Borrower, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to such Bank through Agent, may prepay any affected LIBOR Loan based on SOFR in full or convert such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan regardless of the Interest Period thereof. Any such prepayment or conversion shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.8 hereof. Each Bank shall notify Borrower as promptly as practicable (with a copy thereof delivered to Agent) of the existence of any event that will likely require the payment by Borrower of any such additional amount under this Section 3.1. SECTION 3.2 TAXES. A. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term “Bank” includes any Fronting Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. B. Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.

C. Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. D. Indemnification by Borrower.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

44 E. Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by 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 Bank by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (E). F. Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.2, such Credit Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. G. Status of Banks. 1.

In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Bank 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 Section 3.2G(2)(a), (b) and (d) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. 2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person, (a) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; (b) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement

Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Bank 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 Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. H. 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 3.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2), 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 3.2 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 (H) (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 (H), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (H) to the extent that 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. I. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 3.3 BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT SETTING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document: A. Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the entity that calculates and publishes LIBOR, and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, made public statements regarding the future cessation of LIBOR. According to the FCA, IBA will permanently cease publication of (i) the 1-week and 2-month USD LIBOR settings following the publication of such settings on December 31, 2021, and (ii) the overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR settings, immediately following the publication of such settings on June 30, 2023. As a consequence, (x) on January 1, 2022, any option to select 1 week or 2-month USD LIBOR will no longer be available and (y) on the earliest of (i) July 1, 2023, (ii) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been

47 announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (iii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark, in the case of both clauses (x) and (y), for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments in respect of such Loans will be payable on a quarterly basis. A. B. Replacing Other Benchmarks. If any Benchmark Transition Event occurs after the date hereof (other than as described above in clause (A)) with respect to any Benchmark, the applicable Benchmark will be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting on the later of (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Banks and Borrower (together, if applicable, with an amendment to this Agreement implementing such Benchmark Replacement and any applicable Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) or (ii) such other date as may be determined by Agent, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as Agent has not received, by such time (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, such time as may be specified by Agent as a deadline to receive objections, but in any case, no less than five (5) Business Days after the date such notice is provided to Banks and Borrower), written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Required Banks or Borrower; provided, however, that in the event that the then-current Benchmark is not a SOFR-based rate, then the Benchmark Replacement shall be determined in accordance with clause (1)(a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement’ unless Agent has determined that neither of such alternative rates is available. At any time that the administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, Temporary Inability to Determine Rates. If (A) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Required Banks determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, and the Required Banks have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, in each case of (A) and (B), on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Bank. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Banks to make or continue the applicable Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such determination affects the calculation of the Base Rate, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that

48 would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, andany applicable Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Base Rate based upon the applicable Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination. B. Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement. 1. Benchmark Replacement. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Banks comprising the Required Banks. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 2. C. Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement (whether in connection with the replacement of USD LIBOR or any future Benchmark),, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 3. D. Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3 including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the timing of implementation of any Benchmark Replacement 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 on all parties hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except,

49 in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3, and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto. 4. E. Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. AtNotwithstanding 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 aany then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR or USD LIBOR, or any alternate rate selected in an Early Opt-in Election), then Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) if such tenor becomes available or representative, Agent may reinstate anyReference 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 Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the 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, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the 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 for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement) settings. 5. Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term 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 borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then- current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. C. F. Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 3.3and Section 1.1: “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-currentsuch Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Periodinterest period pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

A certificate as to any such loss or expense shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. SECTION 3.5 CHANGES IN LAW RENDERING LIBORTERM SOFR LOANS UNLAWFUL. If at any time there is a Change in Law, which shall make it unlawful for any Bank to fund any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan that it is committed to make hereunder with moneys obtained in the eurodollar market, the commitment of such Bank to fund such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan shall, upon the happening of such event forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality, and such Bank shall by written notice to Borrower and Agent declare that its commitment with respect to such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan has been so suspended and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and such Bank shall similarly notify Borrower and Agent. If any such Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Bank to continue in effect the funding in the applicable eurodollar market of any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan previously made by it hereunder, such Bank shall, upon the happening of such event, notify Borrower, Agent and the other Banks thereof in writing stating the reasons therefor, and Borrower shall, on the earlier of (a) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (b) if required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert such LIBORTerm

55 SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or prepay such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan to the Banks in full.

Each Bank may, but shall not be required to, make LIBORTerm SOFR Loans hereunder with funds obtained outside the United States. SECTION 3.7 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If any Bank shall have determined, after the Effective Date, there is a Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements, which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital (or the capital of its holding company) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Bank (or its holding company) for such reduction. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of any Bank to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s rights to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital in such period or in any other period. The protection of this Section 3.7 shall be available to each Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or other condition that shall have been imposed. SECTION 3.8 BREAKAGE COMPENSATION. Without duplication of any amounts paid by Borrower under Section 3.4, Borrower shall compensate each Bank (including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its LIBORTerm SOFR Loans or Swing Line Loans) which such Bank may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or Agent) a borrowing of LIBORTerm SOFR Loans or Swing Line Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Loan (whether or not withdrawn by Borrower); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, conversion or continuation of any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBORTerm SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Bank of any LIBORTerm SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.9; or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by Borrower to repay or prepay any LIBORTerm SOFR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 3.9. The written request of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment. B. If (i) any Bank requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Section 3.1, 3.5 or 3.7 with respect to such Bank, (ii) Borrower is, or because of a matter in existence as of the date that Borrower is seeking to exercise its rights under this Section 3.9 will be, required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.2, or (iii) if any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 10.10), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.2) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, but excluding any breakage compensation), (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 3.1 or 3.5 with respect to such Bank, or resulting from any required payments to any Bank or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments and (4) such Assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. C. Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in this Article III. ARTICLE IV.

(b) INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO. Borrower shall not permit at any time the Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00.

61 binding on Borrower, (ii) upon (x) the amendment of any More Restrictive Covenant by the holder of such Indebtedness in a manner that is less restrictive, but remains more restrictive than contained in this Section 5.7 as of the date immediately prior to the date such More Restrictive Covenant became effective hereunder (an “Amended More Restrictive Covenant”) and (y) effective upon the delivery of a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 5.3(c) for the period in which such Amended More Restrictive Covenant is to become binding on Borrower, reflecting compliance with such More Restrictive Covenant during such period, this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Amended More Restrictive Covenant and the More Restrictive Covenant amended by such Amended More Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed deleted, and (iii) upon (x) the amendment of any More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant in a manner that is less restrictive than contained in this Section 5.7 and (y) effective upon the delivery of a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 5.3(c) for the period in which such amendment is to become binding on Borrower, reflecting compliance with such More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant during such period, any such covenant so incorporated herein shall be deemed deleted and the provisions hereof shall thereupon be those in effect prior to the date such More Restrictive Covenant first became binding on Borrower; provided, further and for the avoidance of doubt, (A) this Section 5.7(b) shall apply separately to each More Restrictive Covenant and Amended More Restrictive Covenant contained in a Material Indebtedness Agreement and (B) to the extent any More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant (each a “Subject More Restrictive Covenant”) is deemed amended or deleted pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, the provisions hereof shall thereupon be those in effect as of the date hereof and as amended (including as amended in connection with any other More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant) other than amendments on account of the Subject More Restrictive Covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this clause (b) as the result of any More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant ceasing to be in effect or being deleted, amended or otherwise modified shall cause any covenant or Event of Default in this Agreement to be less restrictive as to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries than such covenant or Event of Default as contained in this Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and as amended other than as the result of the application of the first sentence of this clause (b) originally caused by such More Restrictive Covenant or Amended More Restrictive Covenant in such Material Indebtedness Agreement.

SECTION 5.15 NOTICE. Borrower shall cause a Financial Officer of Borrower to promptly notify Agent and the Banks whenever any Default or Event of Default may occur hereunder or any representation or warranty made in Article VI hereof or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Related Writing may for any reason cease in any material respect to be true and complete. SECTION 5.16 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Each Company shall comply in all material respects with any and all Environmental Laws including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates a facility or site, arranges for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds any interest in real property or otherwise. Borrower shall furnish to the Banks, promptly after receipt thereof, a copy of any notice any Company may receive from any governmental authority, private Person or otherwise that any material litigation or proceeding pertaining to any environmental, health or safety matter has been filed or is threatened against such Company, any real property in which such Company holds any interest or any past or present operation of such Company. No Company

68 shall allow the release or disposal of any material amount of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. With respect to any violation by any Company of any Environmental Law existing on the Effective Date or, so long as Borrower shall have provided notice to Agent, any violation by any Company of any Environmental Law that arises after the Effective Date, such Company shall comply in all material respects with any consent order or other remediation plan. As used in this Section 5.16, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any governmental authority, private Person or otherwise. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold Agent and the Banks harmless against all costs, expenses, claims, damages, penalties and liabilities of every kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from the noncompliance of any Company with any Environmental Law. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement. SECTION 5.17 AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. No Company shall, or shall permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any material transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of a Company on terms that are less favorable to such Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that might be obtained at the time in a transaction with a non-Affiliate; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the payment of customary and reasonable directors’ fees to directors who are not employees of a Company or any Affiliate of a Company or any transaction permitted under Sections 5.11, 5.12, Section 5.13 or 5.14. SECTION 5.18 USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Notes shall be solely for refinancing the Existing Credit Agreement, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions. SECTION 5.19 CORPORATE NAMES. No Company shall change its corporate name, unless, in each case, Borrower shall provide each Bank with ten (10) days prior written notice thereof. SECTION 5.20 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. No Company shall make or enter into any so-called management agreement whereby management, supervision or control of its business, or any of the principal functions of any Company shall be delegated to any Person other than its duly elected Board of Directors. SECTION 5.21 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES. Each Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary) of a Company created, acquired or held subsequent to the Effective Date shall immediately execute and deliver to Agent a Guaranty of Payment of all of the Debt, such agreement to be in form and substance acceptable to Agent and the Required Banks, along with such corporate governance and authorization documents and an opinion of counsel as may be deemed necessary or advisable by Agent and the Required Banks; provided, however, that (a) the Insurance Subsidiary shall not be required to execute and deliver a Guaranty of Payment, (b) a

69 Subsidiary shall not be required to execute and deliver a Guaranty of Payment if it is not a Material Subsidiary and (c) a Foreign Subsidiary shall not be required to execute and deliver a Guaranty of Payment to the extent that such Guaranty of Payment will result in material adverse tax consequences for Borrower or any U.S. Subsidiary as determined by Borrower in consultation with Agent. In the event that any Person becomes a Material Subsidiary at any time, Borrower shall provide Agent and the Banks with prompt written notice thereof. SECTION 5.22 KEEPWELL. Borrower, to the extent it is a Qualified ECP Guarantor, hereby, and each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by a Guarantor of Payment to honor all of its obligations under any Guaranty of Payment in respect of Designated Hedge Agreements (provided, however, that Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 5.22 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 5.22, or otherwise under any Guaranty of Payment, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.22 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 5.22 constitute, and this Section 5.22 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. SECTION 5.23 ANTI-TERRORISM LAW. (a) None of the Credit Parties is or shall be (i) a Person with whom any Bank is restricted from doing business under Executive Order No. 13224 or any other Anti- Terrorism Law, (ii) engaged in any business involved in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of such a Person or in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) otherwise in violation of any Anti- Terrorism Law. The Credit Parties shall provide to the Agent and any Bank any certification or information that the Agent or a Bank reasonably requests to confirm compliance by the Credit Parties with Anti-Terrorism Laws. (b) Borrower shall ensure that each Credit Party has implemented or, shall implement within a reasonable amount of time, and maintain in effect policies and procedures intended to ensure compliance in all material respects by such Credit Party and its directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Terrorism Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. SECTION 5.24 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 5.24 shall not prevent the Borrower or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its

70 business and the Borrower has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 5.25 POST-CLOSING COVENANT. Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (or such later date as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence satisfactory to Agent that the UCC-1 financing statement filed against Borrower, as debtor, in favor of MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as secured party, with filing number OH00246081783, has been terminated by the filing of a UCC-3 termination statement with the Ohio Secretary of State. ARTICLE VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Borrower represents and warrants that the statements set forth in this Article VI are true, correct and complete. SECTION 6.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE; SUBSIDIARIES; FOREIGN QUALIFICATION. Each Company is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified and authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership in the jurisdictions where the character of its property or its business activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify will not cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.1 hereto sets forth, as of the Effective Date, each Subsidiary of Borrower, its jurisdiction of organization, the location of its chief executive offices, its principal place of business and the jurisdictions where it is qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership. Borrower owns directly or indirectly all of the equity interests of each of its Subsidiaries. SECTION 6.2 CORPORATE AUTHORITY. Borrower has the right and power and is duly authorized and empowered to enter into, execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform and observe the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized and approved by Borrower’s Board of Directors and are the valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not conflict with nor result in any breach in any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9 of this Agreement) upon any assets or property of Borrower under the provisions of, Borrower’s Organizational Documents or any agreement. SECTION 6.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Each Company: (a) holds all material permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from federal, state, local, and foreign governmental and regulatory bodies necessary for the conduct of its business and is in compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto; (b) is in compliance with all material federal, state, local, or foreign applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those relating to

71 environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and equal employment practices; and (c) is not in violation of or in default under any material agreement to which it is a party or by which its assets are subject or bound. SECTION 6.4 LITIGATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.4 hereto, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are (a) no lawsuits, actions, investigations, or other proceedings pending or threatened against any Company, or in respect of which any Company may have any liability, in any court or before any governmental authority, arbitration board, or other tribunal, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any court or government agency or instrumentality to which any Company is a party or by which the property or assets of any Company are bound, and (c) no grievances, disputes, or controversies outstanding with any union or other organization of the employees of any Company, or threats of work stoppage, strike, or pending demands for collective bargaining, which, as to subsections (a) through (c) above, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operation or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Companies taken as a whole. SECTION 6.5 TITLE TO ASSETS. Each Company has good title to and ownership of all property it purports to own, which property is free and clear of all Liens, except those permitted under Section 5.9 hereof. SECTION 6.6 LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS. On and after the Effective Date, except for Liens and financing statements permitted pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, (a) there is no financing statement outstanding covering any personal property of any Company; (b) there is no mortgage outstanding covering any real property of any Company; and (c) no real or personal property of any Company is subject to any security interest or Lien of any kind. No Company has entered into any contract or agreement that exists on or after the Effective Date that would prohibit Agent or the Banks from acquiring a security interest, mortgage or other Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property or assets of any Company, other than restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness permitted hereunder, so long as such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness. SECTION 6.7 TAX RETURNS. All federal, state and local Tax returns and other reports required by law to be filed in respect of the income, business, properties and employees of each Company have been filed and all Taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges that are due and payable have been paid, except for (i) those being contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings or (ii) where the failure to do so does not and will not cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The provision for taxes on the books of each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year. SECTION 6.8 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Each Company is in material compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise. No material litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law is pending or, to the best

72 knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any Company holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company. No release, threatened release or disposal of any material amount of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being cleaned up in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in this Section 6.8, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any governmental authority, private Person or otherwise. SECTION 6.9 CONTINUED BUSINESS. There exists no actual, pending, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, whose purchases or supplies, if terminated, cancelled or limited would have a Material Adverse Effect, and there exists no present condition or state of facts or circumstances that would materially affect adversely any Company in any respect or prevent a Company from conducting such business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in substantially the same manner in which it was previously conducted. SECTION 6.10 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS. Schedule 6.10 hereto identifies each ERISA Plan. Since the Effective Date, no ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Full payment has been made of all amounts which a Controlled Group member is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have been paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan. The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions and in accordance with applicable law, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements. No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a): (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a), (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely), (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any employee stock ownership plan under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 4975(e)(7), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired, (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”, and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to all Pension Plans, the aggregate “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to such Pension Plans (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for

73 Pensions”) does not exceed the aggregate fair market value of all Pension Plan assets by more than 15% of Consolidated Net Worth. If all Controlled Group members withdrew from all Multiemployer Plans in a “complete withdrawal” (within the meaning of ERISA Section 4203) such withdrawal would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 6.11 CONSENTS OR APPROVALS. No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed. SECTION 6.12 SOLVENCY. Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to the Banks. Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Banks. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Agent and the Banks incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. SECTION 6.13 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The audited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and the unaudited Consolidated interim financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, furnished to Agent and the Banks, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the Companies’ financial condition as of the date of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the date of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in any Company’s financial condition, properties or business nor any material change in any Company’s accounting procedures. SECTION 6.14 REGULATIONS. Borrower is not engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation U or X of said Board of Governors. SECTION 6.15 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each Company owns, possesses, or has the right to use all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of others. SECTION 6.16 INSURANCE. Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and as is customary with persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. SECTION 6.17 ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENTS. Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to

74 make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading; provided, that with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time. After due inquiry by Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Banks that has or would have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 6.18 DEFAULTS. No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof. SECTION 6.19 ANTI-TERRORISM LAW, ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW AND SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary of each Credit Party and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, their respective directors and agents that are Controlled by a Credit Party or its Subsidiaries, is and will remain in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. No Credit Party and no Subsidiary of a Credit Party or any officer or employees or, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, any of their respective directors or agents (i) is a Person designated by the U.S. government on the list of the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “SDN List”) with which a U.S. Person cannot deal with or otherwise engage in business transactions or is the subject of any list-based or territorial Sanctions maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the U.S. Department of State, or the Global Affairs Canada, or by the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or any European Union member state, or (ii) is controlled by (including without limitation by virtue of such person being a director or owning voting shares or interests), or acts, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, any person or entity on the SDN List or a foreign government that is the target of Sanctions such that the entry into, or performance under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be prohibited under U.S. law. The Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries are in compliance with (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (b) the Patriot Act and (c) other federal or state laws relating to “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used directly or indirectly, in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any government official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws. ARTICLE VII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: SECTION 7.1 PAYMENTS. If (a) the interest on any Note or any commitment or other fee shall not be paid in full punctually when due and payable or within five (5) days thereafter, or (b) the principal of any Note shall not be paid in full punctually when due and payable.

75 SECTION 7.2 SPECIAL COVENANTS. If any Company or any Obligor shall fail or omit to perform and observe Sections 5.3(a) through (d), 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.18 or 5.23 hereof. SECTION 7.3 OTHER COVENANTS. If any Company or any Obligor shall fail or omit to perform and observe any agreement or other provision (other than those referred to in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof) contained or referred to in this Agreement or any Related Writing that is on such Company’s or Obligor’s part, as the case may be, to be complied with, and that Default shall not have been fully corrected within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice thereof to Borrower by Agent or any Bank that the specified Default is to be remedied. SECTION 7.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. If any representation, warranty or statement made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Writing or any other material information furnished by any Company or any Obligor to the Banks or any thereof or any other holder of any Note, shall be false or erroneous; provided that any information furnished in connection with Section 6.19 shall not be subject to a materiality qualifier. SECTION 7.5 CROSS DEFAULT. If any Company or any Obligor shall default (a) in the payment of principal, interest or fees due and owing with respect to any Material Indebtedness Agreement beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto, (b) in the performance or observance of any other agreement, term or condition contained in any Material Indebtedness Agreement, if the effect of such default is to allow the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness or to permit the holder thereof to cause such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity, or (c) as a consequence of the occurrence or continuation of any event or condition (other than the passage of time or the right of the holder of Indebtedness to convert such Indebtedness into equity interests), (x) the Borrower or any Subsidiary has become obligated to purchase or repay Indebtedness before its regular maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment with respect to any Material Indebtedness Agreement, or (y) one or more Persons have the right to require the Borrower or any Subsidiary so to purchase or repay such Indebtedness. SECTION 7.6 ERISA DEFAULT. The occurrence of one or more ERISA Events that (a) the Required Banks determine could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) results in a Lien on any of the assets of any Company in excess, for all such Liens, of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). SECTION 7.7 CHANGE IN CONTROL. If any Change in Control shall occur. SECTION 7.8 MONEY JUDGMENT. A final judgment or order for the payment of money shall be rendered against any Company or any Obligor by a court of competent jurisdiction, that remains unpaid or unstayed and undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of thirty (30) days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired, provided that the aggregate of all such judgments for all such Companies and Obligors shall exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), to the extent not covered by independent third party insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of such judgment or order and does not deny or fail to confirm coverage. SECTION 7.9 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. There shall have occurred any condition or event that Agent or the Required Banks determine has or is reasonably likely to have

76 a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the rights and remedies of Agent or the Banks under the Loan Documents or the ability of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a write down in equity of up to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) due to Financial Accounting Standards Board changes to pension accounting shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 7.10 VALIDITY OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. (a) Any material provision of any Loan Document shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding and enforceable against Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment; (b) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document against Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment shall be contested by any Company or any other Obligor; (c) Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment shall deny that it has any or further liability or obligation thereunder; or (d) any Loan Document shall be terminated, invalidated or set aside, or be declared ineffective or inoperative or in any way cease to give or provide to Agent and the Banks the benefits purported to be created thereby. SECTION 7.11 SOLVENCY.

ARTICLE VIII. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere, SECTION 8.1 OPTIONAL DEFAULTS. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9 or 7.10 hereof shall occur, Agent may, with the consent of the Required Banks, and shall, at the request of the Required Banks, give written notice to Borrower, to: (a) terminate the Commitment and the credits hereby established, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Banks, and each thereof, to make any further Loan and the obligation of the Fronting Bank to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder immediately shall be terminated, and/or

77 (b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Debt (if the Debt is not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Debt shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower. SECTION 8.2 AUTOMATIC DEFAULTS. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.11 hereof shall occur: (a) all of the Commitment and the credits hereby established shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Bank thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further Loan, nor shall the Fronting Bank be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder, and (b) the outstanding principal, interest and any other amounts on all of the Notes, and all of the other Debt to the Banks, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Debt is not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by Borrower. SECTION 8.3 LETTERS OF CREDIT. If the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Agent, as security for Borrower’s and any Guarantor of Payment’s obligations to reimburse Agent and the Banks for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. Agent and the Banks are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Bank to or for the credit or account of any Company, as security for Borrower’s and any Guarantor of Payment’s obligations to reimburse Agent and the Banks for any then outstanding Letters of Credit. SECTION 8.4 OFFSETS. In addition to the rights and remedies of Agent and the Banks provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or otherwise provided in law or equity, if there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.11 hereof or if the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, Agent and each Bank (and/or such Bank’s affiliates) shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all Debt then owing by Borrower to Agent or that Bank (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by Agent or that Bank (and such Bank’s affiliates) to or for the credit or account of Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by Borrower. SECTION 8.5 EQUALIZATION PROVISION. Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other Banks or any thereof in respect of the Debt (except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Banks, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Bank receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Bank receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the

78 Advantage from such Bank) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Bank further agrees with the other Banks that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of Borrower on any indebtedness owing by Borrower to that Bank by reason of offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all Debt owing by Borrower to that Bank (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section 8.5 or any other Section of this Agreement). Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from the other Banks or any thereof pursuant to this Section 8.5 may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank was a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. ARTICLE IX. THE AGENT The Banks authorize KeyBank and KeyBank hereby agrees to act as agent for the Banks in respect of this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, and upon the following terms and conditions: SECTION 9.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, attorneys or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 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 Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. SECTION 9.2 NOTE HOLDERS. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with it, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Agent. SECTION 9.3 CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. SECTION 9.4 DOCUMENTS. Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Documents or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.

79 SECTION 9.5 AGENT AND AFFILIATES. With respect to the Loans, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent 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 any Company or any affiliate thereof. SECTION 9.6 KNOWLEDGE OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, unless Agent has been notified by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.15 hereof or by a Bank in writing that such Bank believes that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof. SECTION 9.7 ACTION BY AGENT. So long as Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other writing (including any electronic message, internet, or intranet website posting or other distribution) or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. SECTION 9.8 NOTICES, DEFAULT, ETC. In the event that Agent shall have acquired actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify the Banks and shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Required Banks shall direct and Agent shall inform the other Banks in writing of the action taken. Agent may take such action and assert such rights as it deems to be advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the interests of the holders of the Notes. SECTION 9.9 INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT. The Banks agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) ratably, according to their respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or from any action taken or omitted by Agent in any

80 capacity other than as agent under this Agreement in each case, as determined by a final non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. SECTION 9.10 RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent; provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Bank. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 9.9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent and its sub-agents and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

81 SECTION 9.11 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. A. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: 1. shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 2. shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 3. shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. B. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.3 and Article VIII), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Bank. C. The 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. SECTION 9.12 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may perform any and all of 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 Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their

82 respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facilities as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub- agents. SECTION 9.13 ERRONEOUS PAYMENTS. (a) If the Agent (x) notifies a Bank or Fronting Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank or Fronting Bank (any such Bank, Fronting Bank or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Bank, Fronting Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.13 and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Bank or Fronting Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) 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 Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Bank, Fronting Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank or Fronting Bank (and each of their respective successors and assigns), 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 Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any

83 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 Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Bank or Fronting Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case: (i) such Bank or Fronting Bank acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake 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 Bank or Fronting Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.13(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Bank and Fronting Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank or Fronting Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Bank or Fronting Bank under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a). (d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Bank or Fronting Bank, to the rights and interests of such Bank or Fronting Bank, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 9.13 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to

84 the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (e) 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 Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank or Fronting Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 10.1 BANKS’ INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. Each Bank, by its signature to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between Agent and such Bank. Each Bank represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Banks hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the granting of the first Loans hereunder or at any time or times thereafter. SECTION 10.2 NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No omission or course of dealing on the part of Agent, any Bank or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held by operation of law, by contract or otherwise. SECTION 10.3 AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Banks

85 and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unanimous consent of the Banks shall be required with respect to (a) any increase in the Commitment hereunder, (b) the extension of maturity of the Notes, the payment date of interest or principal thereunder, or the payment of commitment or other fees or amounts payable hereunder, (c) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Note, or the payment of commitment or other fees hereunder or any change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by Borrower to the Banks hereunder (provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to any waiver of the application of the Default Rate), (d) any change in any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Banks definition in this Agreement, (e) the release of any Guarantor of Payment except for the release of a Guarantor of Payment in connection with a transaction expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, or (f) any amendment to this Section 10.3 or Section 8.5 hereof. Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Banks hereunder shall immediately be forwarded by Borrower to all Banks. Each Bank or other holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 10.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto. SECTION 10.4 NOTICES. (a) All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile, electronic mail or similar writing) addressed to each party at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed delivered (i) upon receipt when delivered in person, (ii) upon receipt of electronic confirmation of error free transmission when sent by facsimile, (iii) upon receipt when sent by nationally (or internationally, as the case may be) recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the mail when sent by first class mail, registered mail, or certified mail. Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including electronic mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Bank pursuant to Article II if such Bank has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an electronic mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return electronic mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended

86 recipient, at its electronic mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, electronic mail 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. SECTION 10.5 COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of Agent, including, but not limited to, (a) syndication, administration, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to consultants’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and the administration of the Loan Documents, the collection and disbursement of all funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) extraordinary expenses of Agent in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and (c) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for the Banks, with respect to the foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect thereto. Borrower also agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of Agent and the Banks, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the restructuring or enforcement of the Debt, this Agreement or any Related Writing. In addition, Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to hold Agent and each Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes or fees. SECTION 10.6 INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Banks (and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees) (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Bank in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Bank or Agent shall be designated a party thereto) or any other claim by any Person (other than any claim arising out of transactions solely between any of the Indemnitees (other than disputes involving claims against Agent in its capacity as such)) relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Debt, or any activities of any Company or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section 10.6 for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. All obligations provided for in this Section 10.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.6(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, penalties or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for

87 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, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (a) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. SECTION 10.7 OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; NO FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Banks a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Bank hereunder shall excuse the other Banks from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Bank shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among Borrower and the Banks with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary obligation toward Borrower with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. SECTION 10.8 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., .pdf or .tif), or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or related to any Loan Document or other document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, Assignment Agreements, amendments, Notices of Loans, guaranties, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act of the State of Ohio and any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. SECTION 10.9 BINDING EFFECT; BORROWER’S ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower, Agent and by each Bank and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent and each of the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the Banks. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date all Letters of Credit issued under the Existing Credit

88 Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder and all Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Loans hereunder and all Loans shall be deemed repaid and readvanced on the Effective Date in accordance with the Commitment Percentages. SECTION 10.10 ASSIGNMENTS. (a) Each Bank shall have the right, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 10.10, at any time or times to assign to one or more commercial banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institution or fund which, in each case, in the ordinary course of business extends credit of the type contemplated herein, without recourse, all or a percentage of all of such Bank’s Commitment, all Loans made by such Bank, such Bank’s Notes, and such Bank’s interest in any participation purchased pursuant to Section 2.1C or 8.5 hereof. (b) No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this Section 10.10 without the prior written consent of Borrower and Agent (other than an assignment by any Bank to any Affiliate of such Bank), which consent of Borrower and Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, Borrower’s consent shall not be required if, (i) such assignment is to another Bank or an Approved Fund, or (ii) at the time of the proposed assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then exist; provided, further, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within (7) Business Days after it receives notice thereof. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time make a collateral assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder. (c) Each assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein or the entire amount of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein. (d) Unless waived by Agent, either the assignor or the assignee shall remit to Agent, for its own account, an administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500). (e) The parties to each assignment shall (i) execute and deliver to Borrower and Agent an Assignment Agreement and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause the assignee to execute and deliver, as the case may be, to Agent such additional amendments, assurances and other writings as Agent may reasonably require. (f) [Reserved.] (g) Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements specified in subparts (a) though (f) above, Borrower shall execute and deliver (i) to Agent, the assignor and the assignee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the assignor) required to be delivered by Borrower in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to the assignee or the assignor (if applicable), an appropriate Note or Notes. After

89 delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignor’s Note or Notes being replaced shall be returned to Borrower marked “replaced”. (h) Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements specified in subparts (a) though (f) above and any other condition contained in this Section 10.10, and subject to the acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to Section 10.10(i), (i) the assignee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a “Bank” for the purposes of this Agreement, (ii) the Assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignor’s entire interest has been assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a “Bank” but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.7 and 10.6 hereof with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and (iv) the signature pages hereto and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended, without further action, to reflect the result of any such assignment. (i) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the address for notices referred to in Section 10.4 hereof a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Bank and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Bank may treat each financial institution whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. SECTION 10.11 PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Each Bank shall have the right at any time or times, without the consent of Agent or Borrower, to sell one or more participations or sub-participations to a financial institution or other “accredited investor” (as defined in SEC Regulation D) (each a “Participant”), as the case may be, in all or any part of such Bank’s Commitment, such Bank’s Commitment Percentage, any Loan made by such Bank, any Note delivered to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and such Bank’s interest in any participation, if any, purchased pursuant to Section 2.1C or 8.5 or this Section 10.11. (b) The provisions of Article III and Section 10.6 shall inure to the benefit of each purchaser of a participation or sub-participation and Agent shall continue to distribute payments pursuant to this Agreement as if no participation has been sold. (c) If any Bank shall sell any participation or sub-participation pursuant to this Section 10.11, such Bank shall, as between itself and the purchaser, retain all of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to enforce against Borrower the Loan Documents and the Related Writings) and duties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings, including, without limitation, such Bank’s right to approve any waiver, consent or amendment pursuant to Section 10.3, except if and to the extent that (i) such participant is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the Bank granting the participations or (ii) any such waiver, consent or amendment affects such Participant and would (A) reduce any fee or

90 commission allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be; (B) reduce the amount of any principal payment on any Loan allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be, or reduce the principal amount of any Loan so allocated or the rate of interest payable thereon, (C) extend the time for payment of any amount allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be, (D) release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (E) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.2 with respect to its participation as if it was a Bank, except that a participant shall (1) only deliver the forms described in Section 3.2G to the Bank granting it such participation and (2) not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.2 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive absent the participation, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Law occurring after the participant became a participant hereunder. (d) No participation or sub-participation shall operate as a delegation of any duty of the seller thereof. (e) Under no circumstance shall any participation or sub-participation be deemed a novation in respect of all or any part of the seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that any Bank sells participations in a Loan, such Bank shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loan and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) the portion of such Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and each Bank shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of a Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided, however, that no Bank 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 its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that 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. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. SECTION 10.12 [RESERVED.] SECTION 10.13 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS; CAPTIONS; ATTACHMENTS. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without

91 invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof. SECTION 10.14 [RESERVED.] SECTION 10.15 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Effective Date integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof. SECTION 10.16 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower and the Banks shall be governed by Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt or any Related Writing, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Borrower agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. SECTION 10.17 LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF PARTIES. The Loan Documents were negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof. SECTION 10.18 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Bank and the Agent to the extent subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Bank or the Agent to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. SECTION 10.19 HEDGING LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that any Credit Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, at the time (i) any transaction is entered into under any Hedging Obligation or (ii) such Person becomes a Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and the effect of the foregoing

92 would be to render any Guaranty Obligations of such Person violative of the Commodity Exchange Act, the Obligations of such Person shall not include (x) in the case of clause (i) above, such transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, any transactions outstanding under any Hedging Obligations as of the date such Person becomes a Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. SECTION 10.20 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. Borrower, Agent and each of the Banks waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, among Borrower, Agent and the Banks, or any thereof, arising out of, in connection with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established among them in connection with this Agreement or any Note or other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith or the transactions related thereto. SECTION 10.21 SERVICE OF PROCESS. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. SECTION 10.22 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 any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write- Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (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 party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (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 10.23 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap contracts 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 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below

93 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 Ohio or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) As used in this Section 10.23, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b) (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
