6

(a) the making, maintaining and/or continuation of the then-current Benchmark by any Lender shall have become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law, even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful);

(b) with respect to any Benchmark, any successor administrator of the published screen rate for such Benchmark, or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or the administrator of such Benchmark, shall have made a public statement establishing a specific date (whether expressly or by virtue of such public statement) after which an Available Tenor of such Benchmark, or the published screen rate for such Benchmark, shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or otherwise used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided, that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of such Benchmark after such specific date;

(c) the making, maintaining and/or continuation of the then-current Benchmark by any Lender has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affect the ability of a Lender to make, maintain and/or continue its Loans at the then-current Benchmark (including because the published screen rate for such Benchmark in a relevant tenor is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary); or

(d) with respect to any Lender, the then-current Benchmark (including any related mathematical or other adjustments thereto) does or will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making, funding and/or maintaining its Loans at the then-current Benchmark.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event” shall be deemed to have occurred, with respect to any Benchmark, if a public statement or publication of information as described above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(a) Unless otherwise defined or expressly specified in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, all accounting terms used in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be prepared, in each case of the foregoing, in accordance with GAAP or SAP (as applicable), as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent with the Annual Financial Statements; provided, that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend any financial covenant set forth in Section 8.8 to eliminate the effect of any change(s) in GAAP or SAP (as applicable) on the operation of such covenant (or, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 8.8 for such purpose), then the Credit Parties’ compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP or SAP (as applicable) as in effect on the date immediately prior to the date on which the relevant change(s) in GAAP or SAP (as applicable) became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document: (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made, in each case of the foregoing, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 825–10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Credit Party or Subsidiary at “fair value” (as defined therein); and (ii) for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant set forth in Section 8.8) set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Indebtedness of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at one hundred percent (100.0%) of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470–20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all calculations of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.8 (including for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin and the testing of any condition(s) that, by the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, require that any such financial covenant measurement(s) be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to the consummation of any Specified Transaction occurring during such period.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any applicable basket permission(s) set forth in Article VIII with respect to any item incurred, granted, paid, invested, made or disposed of (as applicable) in reliance on such basket permission(s) that is denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the amount of such item shall be deemed to be the Dollar-equivalent amount (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) of the amount (denominated in a currency other than Dollars) of such item. In the event that any basket permission set forth in Article VIII is exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations, after the last time that such basket permission was utilized or relied on by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, between the amount (denominated in a currency other than Dollars) of any item incurred, granted, paid, invested, made or disposed of (as applicable) measured as of such time, on the one hand, and the Dollar-equivalent amount thereof (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), on the other hand, then such basket permission shall not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such currency exchange rate fluctuations.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any calculation of “extraordinary gains”, “extraordinary losses” and/or “extraordinary charges” shall, in each case for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for any determination of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Net Income), be determined by reference to GAAP as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to FASB’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2015–01.

(f) In the event that any Lien, any Indebtedness (whether tested at the time of initial incurrence, upon application of all, or any portion, of the proceeds thereof, or otherwise), any Asset Sale or other disposition, any Acquisition or other Investment, any Restricted Payment, any Affiliate transaction, any restrictive agreement and/or any prepayment of Indebtedness (as

61

applicable), or any other transaction that is subject to any of the negative covenant restrictions set forth in Article VIII, meets the criteria of one (1) or more of the categories of transactions then expressly permitted pursuant to any clause of the applicable Section(s) of Article VIII, then such transaction (or portion thereof, as applicable) at any time shall be permitted under one (1) or more of such clauses of such Section(s) as the Borrower may determine in its sole discretion at such time (unless otherwise expressly and specifically restricted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and, for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise expressly and specifically restricted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may subsequently reclassify or divide (as applicable) such transaction (or portion thereof, as applicable) among such permitting clauses of such applicable Section(s) and shall only be required, at any given time, to count such transaction (or portion thereof, as applicable) as permitted in reliance on one (1) of such permitting clauses of such applicable Section(s).

(g) For purposes of determining the amount of any Earn Out Obligations and/or other deferred purchase price obligations of any Person for purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the amount of such Earn Out Obligations and/or other deferred purchase price obligations shall be deemed to be the aggregate liability in respect thereof required to be reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of such Person in accordance with GAAP.

(h) For purposes of any determination of the consolidated financial results of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries over any period of measurement during which an Acquisition was consummated, income statement and cash flow statement items (whether positive or negative) attributable to the operations of the Acquired Business for such Acquisition prior to the date of consummation of such Permitted Acquisition shall be included in such consolidated financial results for such period solely to the extent supported, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, by a quality of earnings report in form, and prepared by Plante & Moran, PLLC, or by another independent public accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or by such other financial statements and/or other information as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) delivered from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

(i) For purposes of determining pro forma compliance with Section 8.8, if no Test Period with a covenant level cited in Section 8.8 has passed, compliance shall be tested based on the first Test Period for which a covenant level is cited in Section 8.8.

Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are not intended to be construed against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders merely on account of any such Person’s (or its counsel’s) involvement in the preparation and/or closing of this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document.

(e) Regulated Entities.

Section 1.5 Interest Rate Disclosure. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability whatsoever with respect to: (a) the continuation, administration, submission and/or calculation of, or any other matter related to, any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor) and/or any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable), or any component definition used or referred to in, or any rate(s) used or referred to in, the definitions of any of the foregoing in Section 1.1, or for any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition and/or characteristics of any such actual or proposed alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) is or will be similar to, or produces or will produce the same or substantially equivalent value or economic equivalence of, or has or will have the same or a comparable volume or liquidity as, any of the Base Rate, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), any SOFR-Based Rate (for any Interest Period, as applicable) and/or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability; or (b) the effect, implementation and/or composition of any Conforming Changes.

The Borrower shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date it makes any LCA Election. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to the incurrence of any other Indebtedness (other than Revolving Loans, which shall remain subject to Section 5.2 with respect to the impact, if any, of a Limited Condition Acquisition) or Liens, the making of any Restricted Payments, the making of any Investments, the entry into any transaction of merger, the consummation of any Asset Sale or the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Funded Debt, in each case, permitted under this Agreement (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted, any such ratio or basket, including any pro forma financial covenant compliance ratio (but not actual compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.8, which shall be determined without regard to any Limited Condition Acquisition or any related transaction), shall be required

66

to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis (1) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition (and any other pending Limited Condition Acquisition) and other transactions in connection therewith (and in connection with any other pending Limited Condition Acquisition), including the incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, were consummated on such date, and (2) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition (and any other pending Limited Condition Acquisition) and other transactions in connection therewith (and in connection with any other pending Limited Condition Acquisition), including the incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, have not been consummated and such ratio, basket or test, including any pro forma financial covenant compliance test, as applicable, relating to such Subsequent Transaction shall be required to be satisfied under both the preceding clauses (1) and (2) to be in compliance.

(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any determination in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition of compliance with representations and warranties or as to the occurrence or absence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder as of the LCA Test Date (rather than the date of consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition), shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of or consent to any breach of representations and warranties hereunder or any Default or Event of Default hereunder that may exist at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1 Revolving Loans and Term Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. During the Revolver Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the New Lenders and the Existing Lender) severally agrees to make revolving loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to, but not in excess of, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that, immediately after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this clause (a) may be repaid and reborrowed without premium or penalty (subject to Section 3.1(c)) during the Revolver Availability Period. The Revolving Loans may be borrowed, and/or outstanding from time to time, during the Revolver Availability Period as Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans (or a combination of the foregoing), as the Borrower may request in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and all Revolving Loans, and all other amounts owed under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments, shall be paid in full by no later than such date.

(b) Term Loan A; Delayed Draw Term Loans.

(i) Term Loan A. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a “Term Loan A” was made to the Borrower on the Original Closing Date pursuant to (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement by the Existing Lender (of which the Borrower agrees that a principal balance of $27,500,000.00 remains outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Closing Date, the “Existing Term Loan A”) and that the Existing Term Loan A shall be continued as the Term Loan A hereunder subject to the increase of the

67

principal amount, reallocation and other modifications described herein (including pursuant to Section 2.1(e) below) to occur on the Closing Date, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the New Lenders and the Existing Lender) severally agrees to advance (or, in the case of Regions, be deemed to have advanced) the Term Loan A in an amount equal to its Term Loan A Commitment, to be disbursed or credited in Dollars to the Borrower (as specified in the Funding Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date in respect of the Term Loan A) on the Closing Date in accordance with the funds disbursement agreement. The Term Loan A may be borrowed (and be outstanding) as Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans (or a combination of the foregoing), as the Borrower may request from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, the initial Borrowing of the Term Loan A on the Closing Date shall consist solely of SOFR Loans with a three (3) month interest period. Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed. All Term Loan A, and all other amounts owed under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan A, shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

(ii) Delayed Draw Term Loans. During the DDTL Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the New Lenders and the Existing Lender) severally agrees to advance its respective DDTL Commitment Percentage of each Delayed Draw Term Loan, to be disbursed or credited in Dollars to the Borrower (as specified in the Funding Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect of each Delayed Draw Term Loan). The Borrower may request no more than ten (10) Delayed Draw Term Loans hereunder, which shall be in an aggregate original principal amount which does not to result in (A) any Lender’s portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loans advanced by such Lender during the DDTL Availability Period exceeding such Lender’s original DDTL Commitment made on the Closing Date or (B) the aggregate amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans advanced by all Lenders during the DDTL Availability Period exceeding the original Aggregate DDTL Commitments of all Lenders on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing of each Delayed Draw Term Loan during the DDTL Availability Period shall be subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in each of Section 5.2 and Section 5.3. The Delayed Draw Term Loans may be borrowed (and be outstanding) as Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans (or a combination of the foregoing), as the Borrower may request from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Aggregate DDTL Commitments shall (x) be automatically reduced, on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis, by the original principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan made during the DDTL Availability Period at the time such Delayed Draw Term Loan is funded and (y) terminate automatically on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, in accordance with this Section 2.2, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in Dollars, from time to time during the Revolver Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Swingline Sublimit; provided, that, immediately after giving effect to the making of any Swingline Loan, in no event shall (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and/or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.2 may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time during the Revolver Availability Period. The Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and all Swingline Loans, and all other amounts owed under this Agreement with respect to the Swingline Loans and the Revolving Commitments, shall be paid in full no later than the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics.

(i) Subject to clause (b)(vi) below, whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Funding Notice by no later than 11:00 A.M. on the proposed Credit Date.

(ii) Subject to clause (b)(vi) below, the Swingline Lender shall make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent by not later than 3:00 P.M. on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer or credit (as applicable) of same day funds in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon satisfaction or waiver of each applicable condition precedent to such Borrowing

73

set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of such Swingline Loan received by the Administrative Agent from the Swingline Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or (via credit or wire transfer, as applicable) to such other account(s) as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iii) With respect to any Swingline Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a), the Swingline Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), by no later than 11:00 A.M. on the day of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount, on the date such notice is given, of such Swingline Loan(s) (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) that the Swingline Lender requests that the Lenders prepay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document: (A) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, other than the Swingline Lender, shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swingline Loans; and (B) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans, but shall instead constitute part of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of the Refunded Swingline Loans, to the extent that the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swingline Lender, are insufficient to repay, in full, the Refunded Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by, or on behalf of, the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.14.

(iv) If, for any reason, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(iii) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans on or before the third (3^rd) Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swingline Lender in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(iii), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to so purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount

74

equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon; provided, that, any such participation purchased (or deemed to have been purchased) by a Lender shall be limited to an amount that would not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (after giving effect to such participation) to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. On the Business Day that notice is provided by the Swingline Lender (or by no later than 11:00 A.M. on the following Business Day, if such notice is provided after 2:00 P.M.), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount, in same day funds at the Principal Office of the Swingline Lender. In order to evidence such participation, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender. In the event that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this clause (b)(iv), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon, for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swingline Lender for the correction of errors among banks, and thereafter, at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document: (A) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(iii), and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(iv), shall, in each case, be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or contingency, including (I) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender might, or otherwise would, have against the Swingline Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (II) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (III) any adverse change(s) in the business, results of operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities, or prospects of any of the Credit Parties and/or Subsidiaries, (IV) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party hereto or thereto, or (V) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided, that, such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swingline Lender has not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans (or other unpaid Swingline Loans) were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swingline Loans (or other unpaid Swingline Loans) were made; and (B) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans (I) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (II) if it does not, in good faith, believe that all conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of such Swingline Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders, or (III) at a time when a Defaulting Lender exists, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent.

75

(vi) In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an auto-borrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent (the “Auto-Borrow Agreement”), providing for the automatic advance by the Swingline Lender of Swingline Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto-Borrow Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (other than with respect to minimum advance amounts and notice provisions for Borrowings of Swingline Loans, which shall be as provided in the Auto-Borrow Agreement). At any time that an Auto-Borrow Agreement is in effect, advances under the Auto-Borrow Agreement shall be deemed to be Swingline Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. For purposes of determining the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time during which an Auto-Borrow Agreement is in effect, the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be the sum of the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans at such time plus the maximum amount remaining available to be borrowed under such Auto-Borrow Agreement at such time.

Section 2.3 Letters of Credit.

(a) Generally. During the Revolver Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party in an aggregate amount not to exceed the LC Sublimit, provided, that: (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion); (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and/or (C) the Outstanding Amount of LC Obligations exceed the LC Sublimit; and (iv) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date that is later than the earlier to occur of (A) seven (7) calendar days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and (B) the date that is one (1) year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing (other than the foregoing clause (a)(iv)), the Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one (1) or more successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, that, (A) the Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension, and (B) in the event that any Lender is, at such time, a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender), including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the LC Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agents, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue or extend any Letter of Credit under this Agreement. The Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

76

(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice by no later than 1:00 P.M. on a date that is at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of such issuance. Upon satisfaction or waiver of each of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures (including the delivery by the Borrower of such executed documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may require). Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit (or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit) and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (e) below.

(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, and/or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for:

(i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for, and/or issuance of, any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning, or purporting to transfer or assign, any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit;

(iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms;

(vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;

77

(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or

(viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts;

and further, none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Issuing Bank under, or in connection with, the Letters of Credit or any documents and/or certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to any Credit Party or Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (c), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights that it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or the material breach by the Issuing Bank of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case of the foregoing, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.

(d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event that the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing, provided, that: (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, prior to 11:00 A.M. on the date such drawing is honored, that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (B) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2, the Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and (ii) if, for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this clause (d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this clause (d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount that is, or at any time may become, available to be drawn thereunder;

78

provided, that, any such participation purchased by a Lender shall be limited to an amount that would not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (after giving effect to such participation) to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. In the event that the Borrower shall fail, for any reason, to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in the foregoing clause (d), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage. Each Lender shall make available to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice, by not later than 12:00 P.M. (noon) on the first (1^st) Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this clause (e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon, for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks, and thereafter, at the Base Rate. Nothing in this clause (e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.3 in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank or a material breach by the Issuing Bank of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case of the foregoing, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. In the event that the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this clause (e) for all, or any portion, of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under this clause (e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B (or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing in accordance with this Agreement).

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it, and to repay any Revolving Loans made by the Lenders pursuant to the foregoing clause (d) and the obligations of the Lenders under the foregoing clause (e), shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense (other than that such drawing has been repaid) or other right that the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, a Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the Related Transactions or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Credit Party or Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured, on the other hand);

79

(iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v) any adverse change(s) in the business, results of operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities, or prospects of any of the Credit Parties and/or Subsidiaries;

(vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party hereto or thereto;

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

(viii) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, that, in each case of the foregoing, payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on part of the Issuing Bank, or a material breach by the Issuing Bank of its obligations under this Agreement, under the circumstances in question, in each case of the foregoing, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Credit Parties under Section 11.2, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees, on a joint and several basis, to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket expenses, charges and disbursements of outside counsel to the Issuing Bank and the reasonable and documented allocated costs and out-of-pocket expenses of in-house counsel for the Issuing Bank) that the Issuing Bank may incur, or be subject to, as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank or dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or the material breach by the Issuing Bank of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case of the foregoing, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding under this Agreement is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Credit Party or Subsidiary other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for all LC Disbursements and to otherwise perform all obligations hereunder in respect of such Letter of Credit as if it had been issued for

80

the account of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the issuance of any Letters of Credit for the account of any other Credit Party or Subsidiary shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, and further, that, the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Credit Parties and Subsidiaries.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Section 2.4 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Commitments, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested under this Agreement or to purchase a participation required hereby, nor shall any Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, or the portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans, of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested under this Agreement or to purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Credit Date for any Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 P.M. (noon) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(c) or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with, and at the time required by, Section 2.1(c), and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from, and including, the date on which such amount is made available to the Borrower to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, at the interest rate specified for each Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim that the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

81

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, under this Agreement that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from, and including, the date such amount is distributed to it to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Notices given by the Administrative Agent under this clause (b) shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 2.5 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Credit Party to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that, (i) the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitment or the Borrower’s obligations in respect of any applicable Loans, and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern in the absence of demonstrable error therein.

(b) Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to (i) each Lender on the Closing Date, (ii) each Person who is a permitted assignee of any Lender after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 11.5, and (iii) each Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.1(d), in each case of the foregoing clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), to the extent requested by such Person, a Note evidencing such Person’s portion of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Term Loans, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Scheduled Principal Payments.

(a) Revolving Loans; Swingline Loans. The outstanding principal amount of: (i) all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in full, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; and (ii) all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in full, on the earlier to occur of (A) the date of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender, and (B) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

82

(b) Term Loan A. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A of such Lender in installments payable on the dates set forth in the table immediately below, with each such installment being in the aggregate principal amount (as such installment may be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11) for all Lenders set forth opposite such date in the table immediately below (and on such other date(s), and in such other amount(s), as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement):

Installment Date	Aggregate Principal Amount ($)

provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan A, together with any unpaid interest and fees, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date for the Term Loan A.

(c) Delayed Draw Term Loans. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan made by such Lender during the DDTL Availability Period in installments payable on the dates, with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Loan, set forth in the table immediately below, with each such installment being in the aggregate principal amount (as such installment may be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11) for all Lenders set forth opposite such date in the table immediately below (and on such other date(s), and in such other amount(s), as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement):

Installment Date	Aggregate Principal Amount ($)
The last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter from, and including, the first (1st) full Fiscal Quarter ending after the date on which the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan is made during the DDTL Availability Period to, and including, the last Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the Maturity Date for the Delayed Draw Term Loans.	The DDTL Amortization Payment Amount with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Loan

provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.7 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from, and including, the date on which such Loan is made through, and including, the date of repayment in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof, as follows:

83

(i) in the case of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans (other than any Incremental Term Loans), if such Loan is outstanding as:

(A) a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(B) a SOFR Loan, at Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) in the case of any Swingline Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, with respect to any Swingline Loan advanced pursuant to an Auto-Borrow Agreement, at such other rate as separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender); and

(iii) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, at the percentages per annum specified in the Incremental Facility Agreement establishing such Incremental Term Loan.

(b) The Class and Type for any requested Borrowing of Loans or any requested continuation or conversion of outstanding Loans, and the applicable Interest Period in respect of any requested Borrowing of, or continuation of or conversion to, SOFR Loans, in each case of the foregoing, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice, as the case may be, delivered in connection therewith in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that, (i) no Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a SOFR Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing, (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (b)(i), if, at expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Conversion / Continuation Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loan as a SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, (iii) there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect at any time with respect to all outstanding SOFR Loans, taken together, (iv) if any Funding Notice or any Conversion / Continuation Notice requests a SOFR Borrowing or a conversion to, or continuation of, outstanding SOFR Loans (as applicable) but does not specify an Interest Period in respect of such SOFR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month, and (v) in the event that the Borrower fails to specify the Type of a requested Borrowing, conversion or continuation in an applicable Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice, then (A) any such requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing, (B) any outstanding Base Rate Loans relating thereto shall continue to remain outstanding as Base Rate Loans, and (C) any outstanding SOFR Loans relating thereto shall be automatically continued as SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. As soon as practicable, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to each of the SOFR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined (and for the applicable Interest Period) and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

84

(c) Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be computed on the basis of, (i) for interest at the Base Rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Base Rate determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1), year of three-hundred sixty-five (365) or three-hundred sixty-six (366) calendar days, as the case may be, and (ii) for all other computations of fees and interest, a year of three-hundred sixty (360) calendar days, in each case of the foregoing clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii), for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first (1^st) day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such outstanding SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such outstanding Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if any Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, then one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(d) If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial statements of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date, was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Credit Party or Subsidiary under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This clause (d) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, as the case may be, under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Borrower’s obligations under this clause (d) shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on and to: (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of such Loan (other than a voluntary prepayment of a Revolving Loan, which interest shall be payable in accordance with the foregoing clause (e)(i)), to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Maturity Date (as applicable).

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from, and including, the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date such amount is reimbursed by, or on behalf of, the Borrower, at a rate equal to: (i) for the period from, and including, the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; and (ii) thereafter, a rate that is the lesser of (A) two percent (2.00%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (B) the Highest Lawful Rate.

85

(g) Interest payable pursuant to the foregoing clause (f) shall be computed on the basis of a year of three-hundred sixty-five (365) or three-hundred sixty-six (366) calendar days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to the foregoing clause (f), the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Letter of Credit Fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event that the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all, or any portion, of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from, and including, the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by the Lenders to, but excluding, the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower.

(h) In connection with the use and/or administration of SOFR, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor) and/or any SOFR-Based Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, any amendment(s) implementing any such Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or of any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes implemented in connection with the use and/or administration of SOFR, the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor) and/or any SOFR-Based Rate.

Section 2.8 Conversion / Continuation.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing), the Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert, at any time, all, or any part, of any outstanding Loan, in a minimum amount of One-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or, if greater, an integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof, from one (1) Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that, a SOFR Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan, unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 3.1(c) in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any then-current Interest Period applicable to any SOFR Loan, to continue all, or any portion, of such Loan as a SOFR Loan;

in each case of the foregoing, subject to any restrictions on conversions and/or continuations of outstanding Loans set forth in Section 2.7(b).

86

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion / Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion / Continuation Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, a Conversion / Continuation Notice for a conversion of outstanding Loans to, or a continuation of outstanding Loans as, SOFR Loans (or any telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Periodic Term SOFR Determination Date and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.9 Default Rate of Interest.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) a Specified Event of Default, automatically, and (ii) any Event of Default other than a Specified Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, in any such case of the foregoing clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii), the Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate amount of all outstanding Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(b) Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) With respect to any outstanding SOFR Loan at the time an imposition of the Default Rate in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) becomes effective, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period then in effect for such SOFR Loan, such SOFR Loan shall thereupon automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan and shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate of interest then in effect for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment, and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 2.10 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Revolver Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin of the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount exceeds the Total Revolving Outstandings, subject to adjustment(s) as provided in Section 2.16. The Revolver Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolver Availability Period (including at any time when one (1) or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 is not satisfied) and shall be calculated, and shall be due and payable, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; provided, that, (i) no Revolver Commitment Fee shall accrue on any Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) any Revolver Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender that is unpaid shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In the event that there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount of the Revolver Commitment Fee shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. For purposes of calculation of the Revolver Commitment Fee: (A) issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall count toward, and shall be considered utilization of, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; and (B) Swingline Loans shall not count toward, or be considered utilization of, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

87

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding from time to time in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Margin, multiplied by (B) the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4(b). The Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the expiration date thereof, and thereafter on demand; provided, that, (I) no Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue in favor of any Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (II) any Letter of Credit Fees accrued in favor of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender that are unpaid shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In the event that there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (1) a Specified Event of Default, automatically, and (2) any Event of Default other than a Specified Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders, in any such case of the foregoing clauses (b)(i)(1) and (b)(i)(2), all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(ii) Fronting Fee; Documentation and Processing Fees. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank, for its own account and not for sharing, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis. Such fronting fee(s) shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof), commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, on its expiration date, and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4(b). In addition, the Borrower shall pay, directly to the Issuing Bank, for its own account and not for sharing, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to any Letters of Credit issued by it as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are non-refundable.

88

(c) DDTL Ticking Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (that is not a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its DDTL Commitment Percentage, a ticking fee (the “DDTL Ticking Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Margin multiplied by (B) the actual daily amount of the Aggregate DDTL Commitment, subject to adjustment(s) as provided in Section 2.16. The DDTL Ticking Fee shall accrue at all times during the DDTL Availability Period (including, without limitation, at any time when one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and/or Section 5.3 is not satisfied) and shall be calculated, and shall be due and payable, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date; provided, that, (i) no DDTL Ticking Fee shall accrue on any DDTL Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) any DDTL Ticking Fee accrued with respect to the DDTL Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender that is unpaid shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In the event that there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount of the DDTL Ticking Fee shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

(d) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay, on the Closing Date to Regions, RCM, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any of their respective Affiliates (as applicable), all fees in the Fee Letter (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any upfront fees payable to Regions, RCM, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent the account of any Lender) that are due and payable on the Closing Date. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments of any specified Class pursuant to this clause (b) shall, in any event, set forth the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and any such termination or reduction delivered in accordance with this clause (b) shall become effective on the date specified in such notice and shall reduce the Commitment of such specified Class of each Lender proportionately.

90

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing of this clause (c)(ii), no prepayments will be required to be made on the Obligations with respect to the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from (x) the sale by any Regulated Entity of any Property owned by such Regulated Entity or (y) Asset Sales pursuant to Section 8.9(g) to the extent the Acquisition or Permitted Investment in which the Intellectual Property was acquired was (I) not financed with Loans under this Agreement and (I) consummated after the Closing Date.

Section 2.12 Application of Prepayments. Within each Class of Loans, prepayments of Loans of that Class will be applied, (A) first, to Base Rate Loans, and (B) then, to SOFR Loans on a pro rata basis. In addition:

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments of Loans made in accordance with Section 2.11(a) shall be applied as specified in writing by the Borrower; provided, that, in the case of prepayments of the Term Loans: (i) the prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Term Loans then outstanding; and (ii) further, the prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments thereof (including the final principal installment thereof due on the applicable Maturity Date) on a pro rata basis in direct forward order of maturity.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments of Loans made in accordance with Section 2.11(c) shall be applied as follows:

(i) mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) shall be applied to the respective Revolving Obligations, as appropriate, but without a permanent reduction thereof; and

(ii) mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(c) other than pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) shall, in each case, be applied as follows: (A) first, ratably to the Term Loans then outstanding, and, in respect of each such Term Loan, to the remaining principal installments thereof (including the final principal installment thereof due on the applicable Maturity Date) on a pro rata basis, until the Term Loans have been Paid in Full; (B) then, ratably to the outstanding principal amounts of Swingline Loans (if any), until the Swingline Loans have been Paid in Full (without a permanent reduction of the Swingline Sublimit); (C) then, ratably to the outstanding principal amounts of Revolving Loans (other than Swingline Loans) (if any), until such Revolving Loans have been Paid in Full (without a permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments); and (D) then, to Cash Collateralize any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit (without a permanent reduction of the LC Sublimit).

92

Section 2.13 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition. The Administrative Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, debit any deposit account of the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries, held with Regions or any of its Affiliates in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and other Obligations due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to debit a deposit account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary held with Regions or any of its Affiliates in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and other Obligations due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including because insufficient funds are available in its accounts for that purpose), payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, by not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date when due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Administrative Agent (or at such other location as may be designated in writing by the Administrative Agent from time to time); for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next Business Day.

(c) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary repayments of Revolving Loans made in accordance with Section 2.11(a)) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest in respect of Loans due to such Lender under this Agreement, together with all fees and other amounts due to such Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if any Conversion / Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender, or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any SOFR Loans, then, in any such case, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(f) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement 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 be included in the computation of any payment(s) of interest, and of the Revolver Commitment Fee and the DDTL Ticking Fee, under this Agreement, but such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the date therefor for all other purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

93

(g) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, deem any payment by, or on behalf of, the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 P.M. on the date when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such other Credit Document (as applicable) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later to occur of: (i) the time such funds become available funds; and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event for less than the period from, and including, the date of such payment to, and including, the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate (unless otherwise as provided by the Required Lenders) from, and including, the date on which such amount was due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or another Credit Document through, and including, the date on which such amount is paid in full.

Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments By Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or any other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon, or other such Obligations, that is greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in such Loans and/or other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustment(s) as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the principal of, or interest on, such Loans and/or other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, provided, that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all, or any portion, of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with the express terms of, this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); (B) any amounts applied by the Swingline Lender to outstanding Swingline Loans; (C) any amounts applied to LC Obligations by the Issuing Bank or Swingline Loans by the Swingline Lender, as appropriate, from Cash Collateral provided under Section 2.15 or Section 2.16; or (D) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Obligations, Swingline Loans and/or any other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or their Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply).

Each of the Credit Parties consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

94

Section 2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Generally. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest-bearing Deposit Accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and, to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a perfected, first-priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If, at any time, the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as provided in this Agreement, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, then the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for in this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, that, (A) Cash Collateral furnished by, or on behalf of, a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and, following application as provided in this Section 2.15, may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.3), but shall be released upon the cure, termination or waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

95

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.4(c).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (other than fees that any Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to clause (a)(iii) below) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.3), shall be applied at such time(s) as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(B) second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(C) third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15;

(D) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom), to the funding of any Loan(s) in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to: (I) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; and (II) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.15;

(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender as a result of any final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

96

(G) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; and

(H) eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided, that, if (I) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (II) such Loans or LC Disbursements were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, then such payment shall be applied solely to the pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders, on a pro rata basis, prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender, until such time as all Loans, and all funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans, are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitments without giving effect to the below clause (a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments and/or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender, or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (a)(ii), shall be deemed paid to (and the underlying obligations satisfied to the extent of such payment) and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolver Commitment Fee, any DDTL Ticking Fee, any fees with respect to any Letters of Credit (except as expressly provided in clause (B) below), or any other fees under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in respect of any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee(s) that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any fee(s) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a)(iii)(A) or (a)(iii)(B), the Borrower shall: (I) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee(s) otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a)(iv) below;

97

(II) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee(s) otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender; and (III) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee(s).

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All, or any part, of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment), but solely to the extent that: (A) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (B) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender, at such time, to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation under this Section shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in the foregoing clause (a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Applicable Law: (A) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure; and (B) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(vi) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties to this Agreement, 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 Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders, or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary, to cause the Loans, and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to the foregoing clause (a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (A) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to any fees accrued, or payments made, by, or on behalf of, the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and (B) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from such Defaulting Lender to such Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party to this Agreement arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

98

(b) New Swingline Loans / Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund Swingline Loans, unless it is satisfied that it shall have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan; and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that it shall have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.17 Removal or Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, (b) any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) any Lender gives notice of an inability to fund SOFR Loans under Section 3.1(b), (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (e) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (including by way of a failure to respond in writing to a proposed amendment, consent or waiver by the date and time specified by the Administrative Agent) with respect to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination under this Agreement or with respect to any Credit Document, then, in any such case of the foregoing clauses (a) through (e), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate without recourse (in accordance with, and subject to, the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its rights under Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 11.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

(i) the Borrower (or another Person) shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.5(b)(iv) (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in writing);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, as applicable, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.1(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3, such assignment is reasonably expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination, the successor replacement Lender shall have consented to the proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination.

99

Each Lender agrees that, in the event that it, or its interests in the Loans and/or other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, shall become subject to the replacement and removal provisions of this Section 2.17, it will cooperate with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.17, including execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith, but the replacement and removal provisions of this Section 2.17 shall be effective regardless of whether an Assignment and Assumption shall have been given.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION

Section 3.1 Making or Maintaining SOFR Loans; Benchmark Replacements.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties to this Agreement), on or before any Periodic Term SOFR Determination Date with respect to any SOFR Loans, that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such SOFR Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Term SOFR” (and any related defined terms used therein) in Section 1.1, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (either by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon and whereafter, (i) no Loans may or shall be made as, or continued as or converted into, SOFR Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower and the Lenders in writing that the event(s) and/or circumstance(s) giving rise to such initial determination no longer exist, (ii) any Funding Notice(s) and/or any Conversion / Continuation Notice(s) given by the Borrower with respect to any Loan(s) in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to have been rescinded by the Borrower, and (iii) all such Loan(s) described in the foregoing clause (a)(ii) shall be automatically made or continued as, or converted into, as applicable, Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1), unless the Borrower shall have prepaid such Loan(s) in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that, if the event(s) and/or circumstance(s) giving rise to such initial determination shall have occurred but only with respect to certain (but not all) of the tenors of the then applicable term rate Benchmark (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor), then (A) the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such illegal or impracticable tenor, and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of the Benchmark. Subject to clause (f) below, in the event that, on any date, any Lender shall have determined (which determination (A) shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties to this Agreement, but (B) shall be made only after written notice to, and consultation with, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred with respect to such Lender, then such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Lender shall, on that date, give notice (either by

100

telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter: (i) the obligation of such Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to continue Loans as or to convert Loans to, SOFR Loans shall be suspended, until such notice shall have been withdrawn by such Affected Lender in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; (ii) to the extent that such determination by such Affected Lender relates to a SOFR Loan, or to a continuation thereof or a conversion of outstanding Loans thereto, then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable), then the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as applicable) a Base Rate Loan, determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1; (iii) such Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding SOFR Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to such Affected Loans, or (B) when required by Applicable Law; and (iv) such Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1, on the date of such termination described in the foregoing clause (b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing of this clause (b), to the extent that a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a SOFR Loan (or a continuation thereof or a conversion of outstanding Loans thereto) then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable), then the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of the foregoing clause (a), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion / Continuation Notice (as applicable) as to all Lenders by giving notice (either by telefacsimile or telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which such Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described in the foregoing of this clause (b) (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this clause (b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender, other than an Affected Lender, to make or maintain Loans as, or to continue outstanding Loans as or convert outstanding Loans into, SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event shall have occurred but only with respect to certain (but not all) of the tenors of the then applicable term rate Benchmark (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor), then: (I) the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such illegal or impracticable tenor; and (II) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(I) is not, or is no longer, subject to a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable out-of-pocket losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid, or calculated to be due and payable, by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its SOFR Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-deployment of such funds, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender sustains if: (i) for any reason (other than a default by such Lender), a borrowing of any SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice (or a telephonic request for borrowing), or a conversion to, or continuation of, any SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion / Continuation Notice (or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation); (ii) any prepayment

101

or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its SOFR Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), including as a result of an assignment in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17; or (iii) any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(d) Booking of SOFR Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer SOFR Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender (i) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the amount(s) necessary (and the calculation thereof) to compensate such Lender, as specified in the foregoing clause (c), and the circumstances giving rise thereto, and (ii) certifying that such requested reimbursement is consistent with amounts requested by such Lender from other similarly-situated borrowers under comparable credit facilities, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount(s) shown as due on any such certificate promptly and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this clause (e) for any such amount(s) incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date on which such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower the certificate referenced in this clause (e).

(f) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders (individually or jointly) notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy delivered to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred, then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, a “Benchmark Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Interest Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated, the then current Benchmark shall be replaced under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Benchmark Replacement.

(ii) Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (A) if the Administrative Agent determines that any alternative Benchmark (other than the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor) set forth in the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” in Section 1.1 is available on, or prior to, the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, or (B) a Benchmark Illegality / Impracticability Event has occurred with respect to a Benchmark Replacement (other than the SOFR Reference Rate for any applicable tenor) then in effect, then, in each case of the foregoing clauses (f)(ii)(A) and (f)(ii)(B), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the SOFR Reference Rate (for any applicable tenor), or any then current Benchmark Replacement, in accordance with this Section 3.1 at the end of any applicable Interest Period, relevant Interest Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as

102

applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate, in any such case, giving due consideration to any evolving, or then existing, convention(s) for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmark(s), and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark(s) (giving due consideration to any evolving, or then existing, convention(s) for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmark(s)), which adjustment(s), or method(s) for calculating such adjustment(s), shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustment(s) shall constitute a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 P.M. on the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have posted a copy of such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and/or any other Person, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(iii) Notices. The Administrative Agent shall notify (in one (1) or more notices) the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement.

(iv) Administration of Benchmark Replacement. Any Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that, to the extent that such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then such Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

(v) Floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if, at any time, any Benchmark Replacement, as determined in accordance with this Section 3.1 and the related definitions in Section 1.1, shall be less than the Floor, then such Benchmark Replacement shall be deemed to equal the Floor for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(vi) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption and/or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action(s) and/or consent(s) of any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and/or any other Person; provided, that, with respect to any such amendment effected in reliance on this clause (f)(vi), the Administrative Agent shall post a copy of such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

103

(vii) Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this clause (f), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take, or refrain from taking, any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and may be made in its or their, as applicable, sole discretion, and, in any event, without consent from any Credit Party, any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other Person, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this clause (f).

Section 3.2 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge and/or similar requirement against any Property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” in Section 1.1, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on any of its Loans (or any principal thereof or interest with respect thereto), Letters of Credit, Commitments and/or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any of its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the secured overnight financing or any other applicable interbank lending market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Loans made by such Lender, or any Letters of Credit (or any participations therein);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in, or to issue, any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount(s) as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs and/or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender (for purposes of this clause (b), referred to collectively as “the Lenders” or a “Lender”) determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, or such Lender’s Parent Company, if any, regarding any capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has, or would have, the effect of reducing the rate of return on

104

such Lender’s capital, or on the capital of such Lender’s Parent Company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement and/or the other Credit Documents, the Commitments of such Lender, or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s Parent Company (as applicable) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount(s) as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s Parent Company, as the case may be, for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank or other Recipient (i) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the amount(s) necessary (and the calculation thereof) to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or other Recipient or its Parent Company, as the case may be, as specified in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b), and the circumstances giving rise thereto, and (ii) certifying that such requested compensation is consistent with the compensation requested by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient from other similarly-situated borrowers under comparable credit facilities, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount(s) shown as due on any such certificate promptly and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s respective right to demand such compensation, provided, that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.2 for any increased costs incurred, and/or reductions suffered, more than six (6) calendar months prior to the date on which such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, delivers to the Borrower the certificate referenced in the foregoing clause (c) and notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) intention to claim compensation therefor (provided, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) calendar month period referred to in the foregoing of this clause (d) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.3 Taxes.

(a) Certain Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.3: (i) the term “Lender” shall include the Issuing Bank; and (ii) the term “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by, or on account of, any obligation of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

105

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Each of the Credit Parties shall, jointly and severally with respect to each other Credit Party, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on, or attributable to, amounts payable under this Section 3.3) payable or paid by such Recipient, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount(s) of any such payment or liability and the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for (A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but solely to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes, and, in any event, without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.5(d)(iv) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case of the foregoing of this clause (d)(ii), that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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(s) of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, from any other source against any amount(s) due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d)(ii).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.3, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of a return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

106

(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (f)(ii)(A), (f)(ii)(B) and (f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense, or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W–9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty; and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

107

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W–8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code: (1) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–A to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; and (2) executed originals of IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable); or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W–8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W–8ECI, IRS Form W–8BEN–E (or W–8BEN as applicable), a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–B or Exhibit 3.3–C, IRS Form W–9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one (1) or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3–D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law (and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

108

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for, or otherwise pursue, on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any indemnified 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 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3), 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 3.3 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 the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event shall the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification, and giving rise to such refund, had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 3.4 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans under this Agreement or to assign its respective rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would: (a) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as the case may be, in the future; and (b) not (i) subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, or (ii) otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

109

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

Section 4.1 The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Qualifying Swap Provider, each Qualifying Treasury Management Bank, each Indemnitee, and each other Benefitted Party as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization, or otherwise) (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)). The Guarantors hereby further agree that, if any of the Obligations are not Paid in Full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization, or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and further, that, in the case of any extension of time for payment and/or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same shall be promptly Paid in Full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension and/or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in any Secured Swap Agreement, in any Secured Treasury Management Agreement, and/or in any other document(s) and/or agreement(s) evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations: (a) the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under applicable Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any state Applicable Laws; and (b) the Obligations of each Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor.

Section 4.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Swap Agreements, any Secured Treasury Management Agreements, and/or any other document(s) and/or agreement(s) evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other Guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any other Credit Party for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as all of the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor under its Guaranty, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of, or compliance with, any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

110

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Swap Agreements, any Secured Treasury Management Agreements, and/or any other document(s) and/or agreement(s) evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented and/or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Swap Agreements, any Secured Treasury Management Agreements, and/or any other document(s) and/or agreement(s) evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations shall be waived, or any other Guarantee of any of the Obligations, or any security therefor, shall be released, impaired or exchanged, in whole or in part, or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral Agent, or any other Benefitted Part(y)(ies), as security for any of the Obligations, shall fail to attach or be perfected (as applicable); or

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Credit Party), or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Credit Party).

With respect to its obligations under its Guaranty or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, any requirement (whether under any Applicable Laws, any Contractual Obligation or otherwise) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender and/or any other Benefitted Party exhaust any specified right, power or remedy of such Person under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Swap Agreement, any Secured Treasury Management Agreement, and/or any other document(s) and/or agreement(s) evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations and/or under any other Guarantee of, or security for, any or all of the Obligations, and any requirement (whether under any Applicable Laws, any Contractual Obligation or otherwise) that any such Person proceed against (or initiate proceedings against) any other specified Person in respect of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 4.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if, and to the extent that, for any reason, any payment by, or on behalf of, any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Benefitted Party, whether as a result of application of any Debtor Relief Law, any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, and each other Benefitted Party on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, and the other Benefitted Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

111

Section 4.4 Certain Additional Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6.

(f) lastly, to the extent that any such amount(s) and/or proceed(s) remain after the Obligations have been Paid in Full, to the Borrower, or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws or provided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Subject to Section 2.3, proceeds and other amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to the foregoing clause (d)(iv) shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any proceeds or other amounts remain on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining proceeds or other amounts shall be applied to the other

153

Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Credit Party shall not be paid with any amounts received from such Credit Party or any proceeds of sales or other dispositions of such Credit Party’s Property, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth in the foregoing of this Section 9.3.

Each Qualifying Swap Provider or Qualifying Treasury Management Bank that is party to a Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Treasury Management Agreement (as applicable) but is not a party to this Agreement shall, by its delivery of a Secured Party Designation Notice to the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Agents pursuant to the terms of Article X, for itself and its Affiliates, as if a “Lender” party to this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

AGENCY

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Regions to act, on its behalf, as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action(s) on its behalf, and to exercise such power(s) and perform such duties, as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with all such action(s) and power(s) as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Agents (and their respective sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact and Related Parties), and none of the Lenders, the Credit Parties or Subsidiaries (or any of their respective sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact and Related Parties) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, except for those duties and responsibilities expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent have, or be deemed to have, any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, assignee or participant at any time; and further, no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or shall otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Collateral and the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and immunities: (i) provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents with respect to any act(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Collateral or any of the Collateral Documents, as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in such Credit Documents included the Collateral Agent with respect to such act(s) or omission(s); and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents with respect to the Collateral Agent.

154

(d) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, and the Issuer Documents associated therewith, until such time, and except for so long, as the Administrative Agent may agree, at the request of the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement, to act for the Issuing Bank with respect thereto, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities: (i) provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents with respect to any act(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued, or proposed to be issued, by it and the LC Application and other Issuer Documents relating to such Letters of Credit, as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in such Credit Documents included the Issuing Bank with respect to such act(s) or omission(s); and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document with respect to the Issuing Bank.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) in this Agreement or any other Credit Document with reference to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents solely and narrowly as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 10.2 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise in connection herewith or therewith, except for those duties and obligations that are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and further, all of the respective duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or otherwise in connection herewith or therewith, shall be solely administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties shall, at any time:

(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) have any duty or obligation to take any discretionary action(s), or to exercise any discretionary power(s), except for those discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement or another Credit Document, in each case, that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is expressly required to exercise hereunder or thereunder, as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in this Agreement or such other Credit Document), to the extent applicable; provided, that, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action(s), or to omit to take any action(s), that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its designated counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any liability, or that is in conflict (in the determination of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) with any provision of any Credit Document or any Applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action(s) or omission(s) that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any applicable Debtor Relief Law, or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of any Property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any applicable Debtor Relief Law;

155

(c) have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties shall be liable for any failure to disclose, to any Lender or the Issuing Bank any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, and financial and/or other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case of the foregoing, that is communicated to, obtained by, or in the possession of any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and/or other documents that are expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or another Credit Document;

(d) be liable for any action(s) taken, or any omission(s) to act, by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, or by any of their respective sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact or Related Parties, under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise in connection with any of the Related Transactions or under, or in connection with, any other Related Transaction Document: (i) with the consent, or at the request, of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall determine in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.4 and Section 9.2 to the extent applicable); or (ii) in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or the material breach by it of its respective obligations under this Agreement, in each case of the foregoing of this clause (d)(ii), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment;

(e) be responsible for the negligence, gross negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents and/or attorneys-in-fact selected by it, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has determined, in a final, non-appealable judgment, that the Administrative Agent acted in bad faith or with gross negligence or willful misconduct, or otherwise breached its obligations under this Agreement in a material respect, in the selection of any such sub-agent(s) and/or attorney(s)-in-fact;

(f) be deemed (for purposes of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise in connection herewith or therewith) to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Lender or the Issuing Bank; and/or

(g) have any duty or responsibility for, or otherwise have any duty or obligation to any Lender, any Participant, or any other Person to ascertain or conduct any inquiry into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise regarding the existence, value or collectability of any or all of the Collateral or the existence, priority and/or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien therein; (ii) the contents of any certificate, instrument, 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 and/or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the occurrence of any Default or any Event of Default; (iv) the

156

validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document delivered in connection herewith or therewith; or (v) the satisfaction or waiver of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or Related Transaction Document, other than to confirm receipt of those certain items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1.

The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be their designated counsel or may be counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants, and/or other experts reasonably selected by any of them with respect to any of their respective duties and/or obligations, or any other matter, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties shall be liable in any way for any action(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, by any of them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, neither any Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties, shall be responsible for or have any liability with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with any provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Agent shall: (A) have any obligation to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender, Participant or assignee (or any prospective Lender, Participant or assignee) is a Disqualified Institution; or (B) have any liability whatsoever with respect to, or arising out of, any assignment(s) of and/or participation(s) in Loan(s) and/or Commitment(s), or any related disclosure of any confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

Section 10.3 Delegation of Duties.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any or all of their respective duties and obligations, and/or exercise any or all of their respective rights and powers, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through any one (1) or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable). Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of their respective duties and obligations, and/or exercise any or all of their respective rights and/or powers, in each case, by or through any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties.

(b) The exculpatory provisions set forth in Section 10.2 shall apply to any and all action(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, by any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), and by any of the respective Affiliates and Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities described in this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by any of them to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each of

157

the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may also rely upon any statement made to any of them, or to any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties, orally or by telephone, and reasonably believed by any of them to have been made by the proper Person, and further, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties shall incur any liability for relying thereon.

(b) In determining compliance with any condition under this Agreement to, or any provision under this Agreement otherwise relating to, the making of any Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of any Letter of Credit, that, by its terms, must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may presume that such condition or provision is satisfactory to such Lender(s) or the Issuing Bank, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender(s) or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit, as the case may be.

Section 10.5 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and Other Lenders.

(a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of, any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Arranger to any other Lender as to any matter, including as to whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Arranger has disclosed material information in their (or their Affiliates’ or Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby represents and warrants to each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender, or any of the respective Affiliates or Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and, based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, has made its own independent credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and/or other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank and/or other regulatory Applicable Laws relating to the Related Transactions, and has made its own informed decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender, or any of the respective Affiliates or Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and, based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own independent credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking, or not taking, any action(s) under, or based upon, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any related agreement or any other document, certificate, agreement and/or instrument furnished hereunder or thereunder, and will make such investigations as it deems necessary or advisable in order to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and/or other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries.

(b) Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that: (i) (A) the Credit Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (B) such Lender is engaged in the making, acquiring or holding of commercial loans in the ordinary course, and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and

158

providing other credit facilities as set forth in this Agreement, as may be applicable to such Lender, and not, in any event, for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument or any security; and (ii) such Lender is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other credit facilities as set forth in this Agreement, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans, and/or to provide such other credit facilities, as the case may be, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans and/or providing such other credit facilities. Each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of any of the foregoing of this clause (b).

Section 10.6 Agents in Individual Capacity; Required Lender Instruction.

(a) Individual Capacity. The Person(s) serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Credit Document in its or their capacity as a Lender as any other Lender, and such Person(s) may exercise, or refrain from exercising, the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be; and further, the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Person(s) serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in its or their individual capacity. Such Person(s), and/or any of its or their respective 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 banking, trust, financial, advisory, underwriting and/or other business with, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, as if such Person(s) were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and without any duty to account therefor to any of the Lenders or to otherwise provide notice to, or obtain the consent of, any of the Lenders with respect thereto.

(b) Required Lender Instruction. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement or any other Credit Document with respect to any action(s) to be taken, or not taken, by it in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, then such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking (or resolving to not take, as the case may be) such action(s) unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders in respect thereof, and further, no Agent shall incur any liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of any Agent acting, or refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Section 10.7 Successor Agents.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, at any time, give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor in such capacity, which shall be either (i) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or (ii) if no Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, then, a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, or an Affiliate of such a bank. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation in accordance with this clause (a) (or such earlier date as shall be agreed to by the Required

159

Lenders and, to the extent required under this clause (a), the Borrower, the “Resignation Effective Date”), no such successor shall have been appointed in accordance with this clause (a) or any such appointment shall not have been accepted by the successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, then, in any such case of the foregoing, the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (but, in any event, shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, otherwise meeting the qualifications set forth in the foregoing of this clause (a); provided, that, in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, and notwithstanding whether or not a successor has been appointed in accordance with this clause (a), any such resignation in accordance with this clause (a) shall become effective in accordance with such notice described in the foregoing of this clause (a) on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If any of the Person(s) serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is, at any time, a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender” in Section 1.1, then the Required Lenders may at such time, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in consultation with the Borrower and, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent in such capacity or capacities. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Required Lenders and, to the extent required under this clause (b), the Borrower give notice of the removal of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in accordance with this clause (b) (or such earlier date as shall be agreed to by the Required Lenders and, to the extent required under this clause (b), the Borrower, the “Removal Effective Date”), no such successor shall have been appointed in accordance with this clause (b) or any such appointment shall not have been accepted by the successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, then, in any such case of the foregoing, 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 the case may be: (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, provided, that, in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed; and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to, or through the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.7. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, such successor shall succeed to, and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as the case may be), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.7). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent

160

shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal under this Agreement, the provisions of this Article X and of Section 11.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, and each of their respective Affiliates, Related Parties, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact, in respect of any action(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, by any of them: (A) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be; and (B) after such resignation or removal, for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, including in respect of any action(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, in connection with transferring their agency under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to any successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the applicable period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and, if any Default has arisen from a failure of the Borrower to comply with the agreements set forth in Section 2.15, then, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, resign as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, effective at the close of business on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice).

(e) Any resignation by, or removal of, Regions as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall also constitute its resignation or removal, as the case may be, as the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent: (i) such successor shall succeed to, and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of, the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender; and (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall each be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding as of the time of such succession, or make other arrangement(s) satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.8 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Taxes. If the IRS, or any other applicable Governmental Authority, asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to, or for the account of, any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties, and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out-of-pocket expenses.

Section 10.9 No Other Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, none of the Arrangers, nor any of the Documentation Agents, Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agents or Co-Syndication Agents listed on the cover page to this Agreement (to the extent that any such Person(s) and/or title(s) are so listed), shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except in their respective capacity or capacities as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable.

161

Section 10.10 Agents May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or any other receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party or Subsidiary, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable, as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on any Credit Party or any Subsidiary) shall be entitled and empowered (but, in any event, not obligated), by intervention in any such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Revolving Credit Exposure, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid, and to file such other document(s) as may be necessary or advisable (in the determination of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be) in order to have the claims of each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and any other Benefitted Parties (including any claim for the reasonable and documented compensation, out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and/or advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Benefitted Parties, and/or any of the respective agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact and/or counsel of any of the foregoing, together with all other amounts due to any of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and/or any other Benefitted Parties under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2) allowed in such proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same.

(b) Each Lender and the Issuing bank hereby irrevocably authorize any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such proceeding referred to in the foregoing clause (a) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent, and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent in writing to the making of such payments directly to any or all of the Lenders and/or the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount(s) due in respect of the reasonable and documented compensation, out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and/or advances of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and/or any of the respective agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact and/or counsel of any of the foregoing, together with all other amounts due to any of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2.

(c) The holders of the Obligations hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or some of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, strict foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of

162

the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 thereof, or any similar Applicable Law in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent of, or at the direction of) Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the holders thereof shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle(s) used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such credit bid (i) Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle(s) (provided that any actions by Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle(s), including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and (ii) to the extent that any Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (whether as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Debt that is credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the holders of the Obligations pro rata and the Equity Interests or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled without the need for any Lender or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to authorize either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to: (i) authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt, on behalf of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment and/or composition affecting any or all of the Obligations and/or the rights of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank in connection therewith; or (ii) vote in respect of the claim of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding referred to in the foregoing clause (c)(i).

Section 10.11 Authorization to Execute Other Credit Documents.

(b) release any Credit Party from its respective Guaranty and/or any other obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party (or in respect of which it is otherwise bound): (i) upon the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that (A) neither the consent of any Qualifying Swap Provider nor the consent of any Qualifying Treasury Management Bank, in respect of the Secured Swap Obligations and/or Secured Treasury Management Obligations (as applicable) owing to them, shall be required in connection with any releases of any Credit Parties by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in accordance with this clause (b), and (B) the Payment in Full of all Obligations other than the Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including the Payment in Full of all Secured Swap Obligations and all Secured Treasury Management Obligations) shall not be required in connection with any releases of any Credit Parties by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in accordance with this clause (b)); or (ii) if any such Person (other than the Borrower) that is a Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction (or series of related transactions) permitted under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm, in writing, the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of Property, or to release any Credit Party from its Guaranty (in the case of any Guarantor) and other obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party (or in respect of which it is otherwise bound) pursuant to this Section 10.12. In each case as specified in this Section 10.12, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized, at the Borrower’s sole expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such document(s) and/or instrument(s) as such Credit Party may reasonably request in order to evidence the release of such item(s) of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents, or to release such Credit Party from its Guaranty (in the case of any Guarantor) and other obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party (or in respect of which it is otherwise bound), in each case of the foregoing, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 10.12.

Section 10.13 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, and each other Benefitted Party hereby agrees that: (i) no Benefitted Party shall have any right, individually, to realize upon any of the Collateral, or to enforce any obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be exercised solely by

164

the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, on behalf of the Benefitted Parties in accordance with the express terms hereof or thereof; and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any or all of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for, and representative of, the Benefitted Parties (but not any Lender(s) in its or their respective individual capacities, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all, or any portion, of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at any such sale or other disposition.

Section 10.14 Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Treasury Management Obligations. No Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Treasury Management Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Qualifying Swap Provider or any Qualifying Treasury Management Bank, respectively, that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or any obligations of any Credit Party under any of the Credit Documents, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or another Credit Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Qualifying Swap Provider and each Qualifying Treasury Management Bank shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent in accordance with this Article X and to have agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a holder of the Obligations, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.14. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that each Qualifying Swap Provider and each Qualifying Treasury Management Bank, in their capacity as such, shall not have any right to notice of any action, or to consent to, direct or otherwise object to, any action(s) taken, or omission(s) to act, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of any or all of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral, or to any notice of, or consent to, any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, replacement, waiver, and/or other written modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), other than in its capacity as a Lender (to the extent applicable), and, in any such case of the foregoing, only to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 10.15 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, the Issuing Bank, any other holder(s) of the Obligations or any other Person(s) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any other holder(s) of the Obligations (any such Person, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after its receipt of any notice delivered pursuant to clause (b) below) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent, or any of its Affiliates, were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall, at all times, remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient 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 (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the

165

Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from, and including, the date on which such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to, and including, the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice delivered from the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting anything in the immediately foregoing clause (a), each Lender, the Issuing Bank, each other holder(s) of the Obligations party hereto, and each other Person party hereto who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any other holder(s) of the Obligations hereby further agrees that, if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (I) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (II) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (III) that such Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder of the Obligations, or other such recipient(s) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case of the foregoing:

(i) (A) in any such case of the immediately preceding clauses (b)(I) or (b)(II), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary), or (B) in any such case of the immediately preceding clause (b)(III), an error has been made, in each case of the foregoing clauses (b)(i)(A) and (b)(i)(B), with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day of its obtaining knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b).

(c) Each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each other holder of the Obligations party hereto hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other holder of the Obligations under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, the Issuing Bank and/or such other holder(s) of the Obligations from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with foregoing clause (a), from any Lender, the Issuing Bank, any other holder(s) of the Obligations, or any other Payment Recipient(s) that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on the respective behalf of any of the foregoing) (such unrecovered amount, an

166

“Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, at any time: (i) such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall be deemed to have assigned (to the extent it has any such Loans) its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of such Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to Debtdomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, or a substantially similar electronic transmission system as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and further, such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall deliver any Notes evidencing any such Loans to the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Administrative Agent, as the assignee Lender, shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment; (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent, as the assignee Lender, shall become a Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other type of holder of the Obligations, as the case may be, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and further, the assigning Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other holder(s) of the Obligations shall cease to be a Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other holder(s) of the Obligations, as the case may be, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, such Person’s obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, Issuing Bank or other holder(s) of the Obligations; and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank, other holder(s) of the Obligations or other such Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be, shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other holder(s) of the Obligations or such other Payment Recipient(s), as the case may be (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on the respective behalf of any of the foregoing). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all of the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank, or other holder(s) of the Obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment).

167

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent that such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for application against the Obligations.

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each party hereto, to the extent constituting a Payment Recipient, hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any other holder(s) of the Obligations, the termination of any or all of the Commitments, and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all of the Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Section 11.3 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any such Affiliate to, or for the credit or the account of, any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Credit Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and although such obligations of the Credit Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the Issuing Bank that is different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, as the case may be; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so

172

set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16, and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other Property and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing, in reasonable detail, the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.3 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(viii) the Credit Parties and the Agents, without the consent of any Lender, may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver to or of any Credit Document, or enter into any new document(s), agreement(s) and/or instrument(s), in any such case of the foregoing, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion and/or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral, or any additional Property to become Collateral, for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties, or as required by local law in order to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties, in any Property, or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law; and

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may, at any time, assign to one (1) or more assignees all, or a portion, of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including all, or a portion, of its Commitments, Loans, and other Revolving Credit Exposure at the time owing to it); provided, that, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

177

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to Loans, other Revolving Credit Exposure or the Commitments assigned; provided, that, this clause (b)(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all, or any portion, of its rights and/or obligations among separate Classes of Commitments, and/or separate Classes of Loans, on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by the foregoing clause (b)(i)(B), and, in addition, the written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required (subject to the last sentence of this clause (b)), unless (I) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (II) such assignment of a Term Loan is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund of such Lender; provided, that, (1) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment, unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion) shall be required with respect to any assignments to a Disqualified Institution;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for: (I) any assignment to any Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund of a Lender; and (II) any assignment by a Defaulting Lender;

(C) the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment: (I) in respect of the Revolving Commitments; or (II) that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one (1) or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment: (I) in respect of the Revolving Commitments; or (II) that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one (1) or more Swingline Loans.

The parties to each assignment (including, in any event, the assignor and assignee) shall: (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (I) a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, (II) an Administrative Questionnaire, unless the assignee is already a Lender, and (III) the documents required under Section 3.3(f)(ii), as applicable; and (B) pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in an amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500) (unless waived, in whole or in part, by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

178

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made, in any event, to: (A) any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Credit Party; (B) any Defaulting Lender or any Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender; (C) a natural person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of, a natural person); or (D) any other Person who, upon becoming a Lender, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in the foregoing of this clause (b)(v).

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and/or obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, and each other Lender under this Agreement (and interest accrued thereon); and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and/or obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (b)(vi), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (and thereto, as applicable)), but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 11.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. The Borrower shall execute and deliver on request, at its own expense, Notes to the assignee evidencing the interests taken by way of assignment under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and/or obligations in accordance with clause (d) below.

179

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one (1) of its offices in the United States, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time, and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time, and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for tax purposes, and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 11.5, and the Credit Parties hereby agree that, to the extent that Regions serves in such capacity, Regions and its Related Parties shall constitute “Indemnitees”.

(d) Participations.

(i) Generally. Any Lender may, at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party, any Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to any Person (other than any Person identified in clause (b)(v) above or, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale, any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all, or a portion, of such Lender’s respective rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all, or a portion, of its Commitment(s) and/or the Loan(s) owing to it), provided, that: (i) such Lender’s respective obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(ii) Content. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to which it is a party (subject, in any event, to Section 10.13) and to approve any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, increase, extension, refinancing, renewal, replacement, and/or other modification to, and/or waiver of, any provision of this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, increase, extension, refinancing, renewal, replacement, and/or other modification or waiver described in Section 11.4(b)(i) that, in any such case, directly affects such Participant.

180

(iii) Benefits and Obligations. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(f) shall be obtained by the participating Lender from each of its Participants)) to the same extent as if it were a “Lender” and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to the foregoing clause (b); provided, that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 and Section 3.4, as if it were a Lender, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, with respect to any participation, than the applicable participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, in which case such Participant shall deliver the certificate required of a Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(c) to the Lender and such participating Lender shall confirm receipt of such certificate for the Borrower and provide all relevant details relating thereto to the Borrower (other than the identity of the Participant). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant.

(iv) Participant Register. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a “Lender”; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a “Lender”. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register at one (1) of its offices in the United States on which it enters the name(s) and address(es) of each Participant, and the principal amount(s) (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans and/or Revolving Credit Exposure under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all, or any portion, of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans and/or Revolving Credit Exposure under any Credit Document) to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan and/or Revolving Credit Exposure is in registered form under Section 5f.103–1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation interest for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Pledge or Assignment of Security Interest. Any Lender may, at any time, pledge or assign a security interest in all, or any portion, of its rights under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.5 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security agreement; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or thereto.

181

(f) Disqualified Institutions.

(i) No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into an Assignment and Assumption or other binding agreement to sell and/or assign all, or a portion, of its respective right(s) and/or obligation(s) under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower shall have otherwise consented to such sale and/or assignment, or Borrower’s consent was not required at the time of such sale and/or assignment, in accordance with this Section 11.5, in which case, such Person shall not be considered to be a “Disqualified Institution” for purposes of such sale and/or assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a written notice by the Borrower in accordance with, and/or the expiration of an applicable notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution” in Section 1.1), such assignee shall not retroactively be considered to be a “Disqualified Institution” for any purposes of this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Any assignment in violation of this clause (f)(i) shall be void and of no effect.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to: (A) post the written list of Disqualified Institutions identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of “Disqualified Institutions” in Section 1.1 (such written list, as provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date and as supplemented and/or revised thereafter in accordance with the definition of “Disqualified Institution” in Section 1.1, the “DQ List”), on the Platform; and/or (B) provide a copy of the DQ List, as in effect from time to time, to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 11.6 Independence of Covenants. All covenants under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be given independent effect so that, if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

Section 11.7 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made in this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document, and/or in any document(s), certificate(s) and/or instrument(s) delivered in connection herewith or therewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the making of any Credit Extension(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise implied by Applicable Law, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 11.2, Section 11.3, and Section 11.9, and the agreements of the Lenders and the Agents set forth in Section 2.14, Section 10.2 and Section 11.2(d), shall each survive the Payment in Full of any or all of the Obligations.

Section 11.8 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,

182

right or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to, and independent of, all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Treasury Management Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, any Credit Document, any Swap Agreement and/or any Treasury Management Agreement shall not impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 11.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person, or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to any Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders (or to an Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments, or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any applicable Debtor Relief Law, any other state or federal Applicable Law, common law or any equitable cause, then, in any such case of the foregoing, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation, or part thereof, originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and further, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and no action(s) taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time under this Agreement to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to Section 10.13, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.12 Applicable Laws.

(a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY THE TERMS HEREOF OR THEREOF OR UNLESS THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION MAY, BY REASON OF MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF SUCH LAW, GOVERN THE PERFECTION, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN ANY COLLATERAL, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES OR OTHER RULE OF LAW THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION STATE (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Credit Party, or any of its respective Property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue.

Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

EACH PARTY HERETO: (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13.

184

Section 11.14 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, provided, that, Information may be disclosed:

(i) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential);

(ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the NAIC);

(iii) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar compulsory legal process;

(iv) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any action(s) and/or proceeding(s) relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder;

(vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.14, to: (A) any assignee of, or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (including, for purposes hereof, any new lenders invited to join hereunder on an increase in the Loans and Commitments, whether by exercise of an accordion, by way of amendment or otherwise, but for the avoidance of doubt excluding any Disqualified Institution), any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Credit Party or any of their respective Obligations, this Agreement, or payments under this Agreement;

(vii) on a confidential basis, to: (A) any rating agency in connection with rating any Credit Party or Subsidiary, or the credit facilities described in this Agreement; or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities described in this Agreement;

(viii) with the consent of the Borrower;

(ix) to the extent that such Information becomes: (A) publicly available, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.14; or (B) available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party or Subsidiary; or

185

(x) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense.

(b) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(c) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledges that: (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, as the case may be; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including U.S. federal and state securities laws.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.14, the Credit Parties consent to the use of information related to the arrangement of the Loans by each Arranger, each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates in connection with marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements or updates provided to investor or trade publications, including the placement of “tombstone” advertisements in publications of their choice at their own expense; provided, that, to the extent that such marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements include material information about the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries and/or their respective businesses, other than the names and logos of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and the amount(s), type(s) and closing date(s) of the Loans and Commitments established hereby, each Arranger and each such Lender or Affiliate shall obtain the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Further, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may provide to market data collectors and industry trade organizations information related to the type of, purpose of, amount of, and parties to the credit facilities described in this Agreement, together with such information necessary and customary for inclusion in industry league table measurements, and the Credit Parties hereby consent to such provision of such information.

Section 11.15 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the aggregate interest rate charged, or agreed to be paid, with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Laws, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the immediately preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, then the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due under this Agreement equals the amount of interest that would have been due under this Agreement if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if, when the Loans are Paid in Full, the total interest due under this Agreement (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest that would have been due under this Agreement if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest that would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and each of the Credit Parties to conform strictly to

186

any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically, and, if previously paid, shall, at such Lender’s option, be applied to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans or be refunded to each of the applicable Credit Parties. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws: (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal or unequal parts, the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 11.16 Electronic Execution; Counterparts.

(a) Electronic Execution. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that: (i) the electronic signature of any party to this Agreement or to any other Credit Document shall be as valid as an original “wet” signature of such party thereto, and further, that such signature shall be effective to bind such party to this Agreement or to such other Credit Document, as applicable; and (ii) any electronically signed document (including this Agreement and each other Credit Document) shall be deemed to (A) be “written” or “in writing”, (B) have been signed, (C) constitute a record established and maintained in the ordinary course of business, and (D) constitute an original written record when printed from electronic files. Such paper copies or “printouts”, if introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitral, mediation or administrative proceeding, will be admissible as between the parties to the same extent, and under the same conditions, as other original business records created and maintained in documentary form. None of the parties hereto shall contest the admissibility of true and accurate copies of electronically signed documents on the basis of the best evidence rule or as not satisfying the business records exception to the hearsay rule. For purposes of this Section 11.16: (I) “electronic signature” shall mean a manually-signed original signature that is then transmitted by electronic means; (II) “transmitted by electronic means” shall mean sent in the form of a facsimile or sent via the internet as a “.pdf” (portable document format) or other replicating image attached to an e-mail message; and (III) “electronically signed document” shall mean a document transmitted by electronic means and containing, or to which there is affixed, an electronic signature.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Credit Document may be executed by one (1) or more of the parties to this Agreement or such other Credit Document (as the case may be) on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts shall, taken together, be deemed to constitute one (1) and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, by facsimile transmission or any other electronic mail in “.pdf” format, shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Credit Document.

Section 11.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each Related Transaction (including in connection with any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, increase, extension, waiver, and/or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) each Credit Party has consulted its own legal, accounting,

187

regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Credit Party is capable of evaluating and understanding, and fully understands and voluntarily accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of each of the Related Transactions and of the Credit Documents; (b) (i) each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, and the Lenders is, and has been, acting solely as a principal, and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Credit Party, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to any Credit Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, with respect to any of the Related Transactions, except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, and each of their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, and each Lender with respect to any breach, or alleged breach, of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any of the Related Transactions.

Section 11.18 Integration. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger and/or any of their respective Affiliates, taken together, constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and their respective Affiliates regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters.

Section 11.19 Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. Each Credit Party hereby: (a) represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that neither it, nor any other Credit Party, is required, pursuant to its Organizational Documents or any Applicable Law, to affix its corporate (or analogous) seal to this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which it is a party; (b) agrees that this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it is a party is delivered by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders under seal; and (c) waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result from not affixing any such corporate (or analogous) seal to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Section 11.20 Patriot Act; Beneficial Ownership. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender subject to the Patriot Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, as the case may be, hereby notifies the Credit Parties that: (a) pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of such Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act; and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification with respect to the Borrower.

Section 11.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding by or among any of such parties hereto or thereto, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any liability of any Lender (including any successor)

188

that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent that such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and each party hereto 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 that may be payable to it by any Lender (or any successor) 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, 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 Credit 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 11.22 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (I) represents and warrants, as of the date on which such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (II) covenants, from, and including, the date on which such Person became a Lender party hereto to, and including, the date on which such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, in each case of the foregoing clauses (a)(I) and (a)(II), for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, and each of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to, or for the benefit of, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, that at least one (1) of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3–101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one (1) or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and/or performance of its respective obligations under, or in connection with, any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and/or this Agreement;

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one (1) or more PTEs, such as PTE 84–14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95–60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90–1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91–38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96–23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of, and/or performance of its respective obligations under, or in connection with, any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84–14); (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer, and perform its respective obligations under, or in connection with, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; (C) the entrance into, participation

189

in, administration of, and performance of its respective obligations under, or in connection with, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84–14; and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of sub-section (a) of Part I of PTE 84–14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of, and performance of its respective obligations under, or in connection with, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv) such other representations, warranties and covenants as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either the foregoing clause (a)(i) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided other applicable representations, warranties and covenants in accordance with the foregoing clause (a)(iv), such Lender further (I) represents and warrants, as of the date on which such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (II) covenants, from, and including, the date on which such Person became a Lender party hereto to, and including, the date on which such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, in each case of the foregoing clauses (b)(I) and (b)(II), for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger and each of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to, or for the benefit of, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to any of the Property of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of, and/or performance of its respective obligations under, or in connection with, any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and/or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, or any of their respective Affiliates under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any other documents, certificates, agreements and/or instruments related hereto or thereto or executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith).

Section 11.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

(a) To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a Guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”; and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the provisions of clause (b) below with respect to the resolution power of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions set forth in clause (b) below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States.

(b) In the event that a Covered Entity that is a 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

190

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 that 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 Credit 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 Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall, in no event, affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 11.24 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any currency (the “Original Currency”) to another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, on the relevant date, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent and each Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and/or costs of exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Credit Parties in respect of any sum due from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day of receipt (if received by 1:00 P.M., and otherwise on the following Business Day) by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may, on the relevant date, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, then the applicable Credit Parties agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is in excess of the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, then such excess shall promptly be refunded to the applicable Credit Parties.

Section 11.25 Intercompany Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby subordinates the payment of any and all Indebtedness and/or other obligations from time to time owing from any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary to it, whether now existing or hereafter arising (including any obligation(s) of any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary owing to such Credit Party from time to time as subrogee of the Benefitted Parties, or otherwise resulting from such Credit Party’s performance (or lack of performance) under this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document), in each case, to the Payment in Full of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent so requests in writing, any such Indebtedness and/or other obligations from time to time owing from any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary to a Credit Party shall be enforced, and performance received, by such Credit Party as trustee for the Benefitted Parties, and further, in any such event, the proceeds of any such Indebtedness shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties. Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is

191

continuing, the Credit Parties may make and receive payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of intercompany Indebtedness permitted to be incurred and outstanding under this Agreement; provided, that, in the event that any Credit Party receives any payment from any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary in respect of any such Indebtedness at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such payment is otherwise prohibited to be made or received under this Section 11.25, then such payment shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered upon written request to, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties.

Section 11.26 Non-Business Day Performance. Subject to Section 2.13(f) with respect to any payment required to be made by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if any covenant, duty, obligation or other agreement of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Credit Document is required, pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof (but for this Section 11.26), to be performed on, or by no later than, a date that is not a Business Day, then such covenant, duty, obligation or other agreement shall instead be required to be performed by such Credit Party or Subsidiary on, or by no later than, the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after such non-Business Day.
