(b)The Swingline Lender agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (each, a “Swingline Loan,” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrowers, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the Swingline Commitment, provided that no Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving effect thereto, (x) the Credit Exposure of any Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) would exceed its Commitment at such time, (y) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time or (z) if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Swingline Loan. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay (including by means of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(d)) and reborrow Swingline Loans.

2.2Borrowing.

(a)The Loans shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be either Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, provided that (i) the Swingline Loans shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans and (ii) all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be of the same Type. In order to make a Borrowing (other than (x) Borrowings of Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2(c), (y) Borrowings for the purpose of repaying Refunded Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2(d),or(z) continuations or conversions of outstanding Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12), the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed, irrevocable notice of borrowing in the form of Exhibit B-1 (the “Notice of Borrowing”) no later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to each Borrowing of SOFR Loans and not later than 10:00 a.m. on the same Business Day as, but prior to, each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Upon its receipt of the Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i)each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount not less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each Borrowing of SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case if less than the minimum amount, in the amount of the aggregate Unutilized Commitments);

(ii)if the applicable Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type of Loans in a Notice of Borrowing, then the Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans; and

(iii)if the applicable Borrower shall have failed to specify an Interest Period to be applicable to any Borrowing of SOFR Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

(b)Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its Ratable Share of such requested Borrowing as its Loan or Loans. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (and, if such Borrowing is to occur on the Closing Date, Section 3.1), the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of the Loans available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a) by causing an amount of like funds equal to the amount received from the Lenders to be credited to an account of such Borrower.

(c)In order to make a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower will give the Administrative Agent (and the Swingline Lender, if the Swingline Lender is not also the Administrative Agent) written notice not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-2, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall not be less than $500,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, in the amount of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment)) and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Not later than 5:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. To the extent the Swingline Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (and, if such Borrowing is to occur on the Closing Date, Section 3.1), the Administrative Agent will make

30

such amount available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(d)With respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender may at any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in its sole and absolute discretion, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the applicable Borrower to, cause a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent (if the Administrative Agent is not also the Swingline Lender) and each other Lender (on behalf of, and with a copy to, the applicable Borrower), not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date therefor, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by the applicable Borrower) requesting the Lenders to make Revolving Loans (which shall be made initially as Base Rate Loans) on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given that the Swingline Lender requests to be repaid. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its Ratable Share of the Refunded Swingline Loans. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, which shall apply such amounts in repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline Lender’s Ratable Share thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above (including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Lender), and such Refunded Swingline Loans deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower from the Swingline Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.16(b).

(e)If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the applicable Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.2(d) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the Swingline Lender is otherwise precluded for any reason from giving a notice on behalf of such Borrower as provided for hereinabove, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have sold without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the absence of Liens thereon created, incurred or suffered to exist by, through or under the Swingline Lender), and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its Ratable Share of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s prior notice from the Swingline Lender, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its respective participation. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this Section 2.2(e), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Lender at the Overnight Rate for the first three Business Days and thereafter at the Adjusted Base Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. Promptly

31

following its receipt of any payment by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein such Lender’s Ratable Share of such payment.

(f)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(d) and each such Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) the failure of the amount of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans to meet the minimum Borrowing amount specified in Section 2.2(a), or (iv) the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 3.2 or elsewhere herein to be satisfied.

2.3Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans.

(a)Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing it makes in accordance with the terms of any written instructions from any Authorized Officer of such Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an Account Designation Letter.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its Ratable Share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally (and not jointly) agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan made on the applicable Borrowing Date and such payment shall absolve any obligation of the applicable Borrower in respect of any demand made under this Section in respect of such Loan. Any payment by any Borrower under this Section 2.3(b) shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against any Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.1(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such Loan, fund its participation or to make any such payment on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, fund its participation or to make any such payment required hereunder.

32

(d)Each Lender may, at its option, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.4Evidence of Debt; Notes.

(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the applicable Lending Office of such Lender resulting from each Credit Extension made by such Lending Office of such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lending Office of such Lender in respect of its Loans from time to time under this Agreement.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each such Loan, the Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date and amount of each applicable L/C Disbursement made under a Letter of Credit, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan, (iv) the amount of any Reimbursement Obligation or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender and the Issuing Banks and (v) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s Ratable Share thereof.

(c)The entries made in the Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(a)) shall be conclusive evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) its Obligations under this Agreement.

(d)The Loans made by each Lender shall, if requested by any Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a Note, executed by the applicable Borrower and payable to such Lender. Each Note shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.

2.5Letters of Credit.

(a)Syndicated Letters of Credit.

(i)General. Each Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to Issue Letters of Credit as Syndicated Letters of Credit for the account of the requesting Borrower in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period. Absent the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank, no Syndicated Letter of Credit may be Issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Issuing Banks thereunder as provided in the next succeeding sentence. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be Issued by all of the Issuing Banks acting through the L/C Agent, at the time of Issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, but the obligation of each Issuing Bank thereunder shall be several and not joint, in the amount of its Ratable Share of the Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit.

33

(ii)Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall deliver by hand or overnight courier service (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the L/C Agent) to the L/C Agent and the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of Issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the L/C Agent) a notice in a form reasonably acceptable to the L/C Agent (a “Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the Issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Syndicated Letter of Credit to be amended, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying the date of Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Syndicated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.5(a)(iii)), the amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend or increase, as the case may be) such Syndicated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Syndicated Letters of Credit may be extended in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iii). If requested by the L/C Agent, the applicable Borrower shall submit a letter of credit application on the L/C Agent’s standard form (with such changes as the L/C Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate) in connection with any request for a Syndicated Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application submitted by the applicable Borrower to the L/C Agent relating to any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(iii)Expiration of Syndicated Letters of Credit. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such Syndicated Letter of Credit or (ii) the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that at the applicable Borrower’s request a Syndicated Letter of Credit shall provide by its terms, and on terms reasonably acceptable to the L/C Agent, for extension for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the Final Maturity Date) unless and until the L/C Agent shall have delivered prior written notice of non-extension to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit no later than the time specified in such Syndicated Letter of Credit (which the L/C Agent shall do only if (A) the L/C Agent has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to Issue such Syndicated Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) the L/C Agent has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the applicable non-extension notice date from the Administrative Agent that (1) the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) one or more of the applicable conditions under Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Letter of Credit Notice) is not then satisfied). The L/C Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the applicable Borrower.

(iv)Obligation of Lenders. The obligation of any Issuing Bank under any Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall be in an amount equal to such Issuing Bank’s Ratable Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit at the time such Syndicated Letter of Credit is Issued, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. No increase of Commitments under Section 2.21 or assignment of Commitments under Section 2.20 or Section 10.6 shall change or affect the liability of any Issuing Bank under any outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit until such Syndicated Letter of Credit is amended giving effect to such increase, assignment or reallocation, as the case may be. The failure of any Issuing Bank to make any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit on any date shall not relieve any other Issuing Bank of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for

34

the failure of any other Issuing Bank to make its L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit.

(v)Issuance Administration. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the L/C Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Issuing Bank, and the L/C Agent shall act under each Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the L/C Agent shall act, as the agent of each such Issuing Bank to (i) execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (ii) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iv) notify such Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower if a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related L/C Disbursement is to be made and (v) exercise all rights held by the issuer of a letter of credit under the documents for which such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall provide credit enhancement (or designate any Person as its representative for all such purposes under such documents); provided that the L/C Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any L/C Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit (other than as an Issuing Bank), and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the L/C Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Issuing Bank each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be Issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder and to take such other actions contemplated by this Section 2.5(a)(v). The L/C Agent shall promptly furnish to the Issuing Banks copies of any Syndicated Letters of Credit Issued hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the L/C Agent, each Issuing Bank will furnish to the L/C Agent such additional powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Syndicated Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the L/C Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Issuing Bank to execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit.

(vi)Disbursement Procedures. The L/C Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any specific time specified in the text of the relevant Syndicated Letter of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The L/C Agent shall promptly after such examination and before such L/C Disbursement notify each applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower of such demand for payment. With respect to any demand for payment made under a Syndicated Letter of Credit which the L/C Agent has informed the applicable Issuing Banks is valid, each such Issuing Bank will promptly make an L/C Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with the amount of its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such L/C Disbursement to be made to the account of the L/C Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Issuing Banks. The L/C Agent will make such L/C Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in the funds so received, to the account of the beneficiary identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for such L/C Disbursement. Promptly following any L/C Disbursement by any Issuing Bank in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the L/C Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such L/C Disbursement.

(vii)Reimbursement. Each applicable Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks in respect of L/C Disbursements made under Syndicated Letters of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollarsequal to the aggregate amount of each L/C Disbursement (the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date (the “Syndicated L/C Honor Date”) with

35

respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit together with interest thereon payable as provided in Section 2.5(e). If the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Banks the L/C Reimbursement Amount on the Syndicated L/C Honor Date, so long as the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) are satisfied and subject to the amount of the Unutilized Commitments, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Syndicated L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the L/C Reimbursement Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(a)(i) for the principal amount of Borrowings, and the L/C Disbursements of each of the Issuing Banks shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligation to fund their Ratable Share of such Borrowing.

(b)Participated Letters of Credit.

(i)General. The Fronting Bank agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5(b), to Issue Letters of Credit as Participated Letters of Credit for the account of the requesting Borrower in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period. Each Participated Letter of Credit shall be in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by the applicable Borrower and the Fronting Bank.

(ii)Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall deliver by hand or overnight courier service (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Fronting Bank and Administrative Agent) to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders)at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of Issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Fronting Bank) a notice in a form reasonably acceptable to the Fronting Bank (a “Participated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Participated Letter of Credit to be amended, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying the date of Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Participated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.5(b)(iii)), the amount of such Participated Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend or increase, as the case may be) such Participated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Participated Letters of Credit may be extended in accordance with Section 2.5(b)(iii). If requested by the Fronting Bank, the applicable Borrower shall submit a letter of credit application on the Fronting Bank’s standard form (with such changes as the Fronting Bank shall reasonably deem appropriate) in connection with any request for a Participated Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application submitted by such Borrower to the Fronting Bank relating to any Participated Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(iii)Expiration of Participated Letters of Credit. Each Participated Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such Participated Letter of Credit or (ii) the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that at the applicable Borrower’s request a Participated Letter of Credit shall provide by its terms, and on terms reasonably acceptable to the Fronting Bank, for extension for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the Final Maturity Date) unless and until the Fronting Bank shall have delivered prior written notice of non-extension to the beneficiary of such Participated Letter of Credit no later than the time specified in such Participated Letter of Credit (which the Fronting Bank shall do only if (A) the Fronting Bank has determined that it would not

36

be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to Issue such Participated Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) the Fronting Bank has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the applicable non-extension notice date from the Administrative Agent that (1) the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) one or more of the applicable conditions under Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Letter of Credit Notice) is not then satisfied). The Fronting Bank shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(iv)Participations. By the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank (including any Existing Letters of Credit continued and deemed Issued as Participated Letters of Credit as of the Closing Date) and without any further action on the part of the Fronting Bank or the Lenders, the Fronting Bank hereby grants to each Lender in respect of such Participated Letter of Credit, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Fronting Bank, a participation in such Participated Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Stated Amount of such Participated Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Participated Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any such Letter of Credit or the existence of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the aggregate Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Fronting Bank in respect of any Participated Letter of Credit promptly upon the request of the Fronting Bank at any time from the time such L/C Disbursement is made until such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be disgorged or refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(vi), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Fronting Bank or, to the extent that any Lender has made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank, then to such Lenders and the Fronting Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement made by it shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, effective upon the increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.21, each Lender’s participation in any Participated Letter of Credit outstanding on such date shall be automatically adjusted to reflect its Ratable Share after giving effect to such increase.

(v)Disbursement Procedures; Reimbursement.

(A)The Fronting Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Participated Letters of Credit Issued by it), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Participated Letter of Credit. The Fronting Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Fronting Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder.

37

(B)Each Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the Fronting Bank in respect of any L/C Disbursement made under such Borrower’s Participated Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date (the “Participated L/C Honor Date”) with respect to such Participated Letter of Credit together with interest thereon payable as provided in Section 2.5(e). If applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the Lenders by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Amount, and the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Participated L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the L/C Reimbursement Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(a)(i) for the principal amount of Borrowings, but subject to the amount of the Unutilized Commitments, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each Lender shall fund its Ratable Share of such Borrowing as set forth in Section 2.2(b). If the applicable Borrower is unable to request a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because such Borrower cannot satisfy each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) or for any other reason, each Lender shall fund its L/C Advance as set forth in Section 2.5(b)(vi).

(vi)Funding of Participations. If the applicable Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement on the Participated L/C Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. Each Lender shall upon such notice make funds available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Fronting Bank at the Payment Office in an amount equal to the amount of its Ratable Share of the unpaid L/C Disbursement (such amount, its “L/C Advance”) not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Fronting Bank under such Participated Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(b)(vi), the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Fronting Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Fronting Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.5(b)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Until a Lender funds its L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(vi) to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement made by it, interest in respect of such Lender’s L/C Advance shall be solely for the account of the Fronting Bank.

(vii)Repayment of Participations.

(A)At any time after the Fronting Bank has made a payment under any Participated Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.5(b)(vi), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Fronting Bank any payment in respect of the related unpaid L/C Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from

38

the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Ratable Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(B)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(v) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 2.14 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Fronting Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank its Ratable Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

(viii)Failure to Make L/C Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the L/C Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.5(b)(vi) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its L/C Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the L/C Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(c)Conditions Precedent to the Issuance of Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank (and the L/C Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Banks) shall be under no obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuance of such Letter of Credit or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over it shall prohibit, or request that it refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon it with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank or any Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to it as of the Closing Date;

(ii)immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time;

(iii)immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at such time;

(iv)with respect to the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Participated Letters of Credit would exceed the Participated Letter of Credit Sublimit at such time;

(v)the L/C Agent or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, shall have delivered the written notice of non-extension described in Section 2.5(a)(iii) or Section 2.5(b)(iii) with respect to such Letter of Credit;

(vi)the L/C Agent or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the Issuance of such Letter of

39

Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions under Section 3.2 is not then satisfied (or has not been waived in writing as required herein);

(vii)the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of Issuance or last extension unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing as required pursuant to Section 10.5;

(viii)the expiry date of such Letter of Credit occurs after the Final Maturity Date, unless all of the Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing as required pursuant to Section 10.5;

(ix)such Letter of Credit is not substantially in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the L/C Agent or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the policies of the L/C Agent or Fronting Bank applicable to letters of credit in general;

(x)such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(xi)with respect to the issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Fronting Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Fronting Bank (in its sole discretion) with such Lender and/or the applicable Borrower to eliminate the Fronting Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(d)Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of each Borrower with respect to an L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit for such Borrower’s account and the obligations of any Lender to reimburse the Fronting Bank with respect to any L/C Disbursement made by the Fronting Bank under any Participated Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Letter of Credit Document, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit Document, any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to or departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Letter of Credit;

(iii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Document or any unrelated transaction;

(iv)any statement or any other document presented under a 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;

40

(v)payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi)any payment made by any Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(vii)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower; or

(viii)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any guarantor, other than as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement.

None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility to any Borrower by reason of or in connection with the Issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing and the other provisions of this Section 2.5(d) shall not be construed to excuse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(e)Interest. Unless the applicable Borrower reimburses each L/C Disbursement made in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount of the Reimbursement Obligation thereof shall bear interest from the date of each L/C Disbursement until such amount shall be paid in full at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans (plus an additional 2% per annum, payable on demand, if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date of such L/C Disbursement). The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section.

(f)Collateralization of Letters of Credit.

(i)If (i) as of the Commitment Termination Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding, (ii) at any time, the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall exceed the aggregate Commitments (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof) pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or (iii) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent requires the applicable Borrower to Cash Collateralize the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 8.2(c), such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral an amount in cash equal to 103% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all

41

Letters of Credit of such Borrower outstanding at such time (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) or, in the case of clause (ii) above, an amount in cash equal to such excess. The Administrative Agent shall deposit such cash in a special collateral account of such Borrower pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

(ii)Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Borrower, and for application to its aggregate Reimbursement Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and the applicable Borrower shall have no interest therein except as set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 2.5(f). Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the applicable Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Cash Collateral Account.

(iii)In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by any Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the applicable Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor. Any amounts remaining in any Cash Collateral Account (including interest and profits) after the expiration of the Letters of Credit of the applicable Borrower and reimbursement in full of the Issuing Banks for all of their respective obligations thereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Borrower, to be applied against the Obligations of the applicable Borrower in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct. If any Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section2.7(b), such amount (including interest and profits), to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be returned to such Borrower, provided that after giving effect to such return (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If any Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(g)Use of Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit shall be available and each Borrower agrees that any Letters of Credit shall be used to support obligations of each such Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Primary Policies or Reinsurance Agreements underwritten by such Subsidiary, the obligations of any Subsidiary as a reinsurer under any Reinsurance Agreement with respect to credit for reinsurance, and for its general corporate purposes.

(h)Existing Letters of Credit. Each Borrower, the Fronting Bank and the Lenders agree that, as of the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower and outstanding on the Closing Date will continue and be deemed Issued under this Agreement for the account of such Borrower as a Participated Letter of Credit. There are no Syndicated Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date.

42

2.6Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Swingline Commitment.

(a)The aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Commitment Termination Date. The Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b)At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of a termination or reduction of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Lender), the Company may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized Commitments or the Unutilized Swingline Commitment; provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 ($500,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment), and applied ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Commitments. Any such notice delivered by the Company may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.6(b) may not thereafter be reinstated. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6 that has the effect of reducing the aggregate Commitments to an amount less than the amount of the Swingline Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Participated Letter of Credit Sublimit at such time shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Participated Letter of Credit Sublimit, as the case may be, to the amount of the aggregate Commitments (as so reduced), without any further action on the part of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender.

(c)All fees accrued in respect of the Unutilized Commitments until the effective date of any termination thereof shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.7Mandatory Payments and Prepayments.

(a)Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower agrees to repay to the Lenders the aggregate outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans of such Borrower on the Commitment Termination Date. The aggregate outstanding principal of each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) the date 10 Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Commitment Termination Date.

(b)In the event that, at any time, the Aggregate Credit Exposure (excluding the aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid with proceeds of Revolving Loans made on the date of determination) shall exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), the Borrowers severally (and not jointly) agree to prepay, immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment in full of outstanding Swingline Loans and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess. Each Borrower is only obligated to prepay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans borrowed by such Borrower and is not responsible for the prepayment of any Swingline Loan or Revolving Loan borrowed by any other Borrower. To the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and held in the Cash Collateral Account as cover for the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure, as more particularly described in Section 2.5(f), and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure by an equivalent

43

amount. Each payment or prepayment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each. Each payment or prepayment of a SOFR Loan made pursuant to the provisions of this Section on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be made together with all amounts required under Section 2.19 to be paid as a consequence thereof.

2.8Voluntary Prepayments.

(a)At any time and from time to time, each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of SOFR Loans and one Business Day prior to each intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which may be prepaid on a same-day basis), provided that (i) each partial prepayment of SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 and $100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans), (ii) no partial prepayment of SOFR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining SOFR Loans under such Borrowing to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) unless made together with all amounts required under Section 2.19 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a SOFR Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of SOFR Loans, the Interest Period of such Borrowing pursuant to which made), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind such Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein, subject to any condition specified in such notice. Any such notice delivered by a Borrower may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment under this Section, the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with respect thereto.

(b)Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each.

2.9Interest.

(a)Subject to Section 2.9(b), at the election of the applicable Borrower, (i) Revolving Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage or (B) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Percentage and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage. The applicable Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

(b)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g) and at the election of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the applicable Borrower shall

44

no longer have the option to request SOFR Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding SOFR Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to SOFR Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Credit Document (to the extent not already bearing an additional 2% per annum pursuant to Section 2.5(e)) shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Credit Document and (D) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c)Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest in respect of any Loan shall be payable as follows:

(i)in respect of each Base Rate Loan and Swingline Loan, in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date;

(ii)in respect of each SOFR Loan, in arrears (y) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (z) if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period; provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any SOFR Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion; and

(iii)in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

(d)Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount, provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.

(e)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of SOFR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide the applicable Borrower or the Lenders with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of the applicable Borrower or the Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to such Borrower or

45

any Lender. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(f)In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Company and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

2.10Fees.

(a)The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect for such fee from time to time during each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) on such Lender’s Unutilized Commitment (excluding clause (ii) of the definition thereof for purposes of this Section 2.10(a) only), during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on the Unutilized Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during any period that such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the date hereof and (ii) on the Commitment Termination Date. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day);

(b)The applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding for such Borrower’s account during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect for such fee from time to time during such quarter on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(xi) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Ratable Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iii), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Fronting Bank for its own account. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date through the Final Maturity Date and (ii) on the Final Maturity Date;

(c)The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative agent’s fee described in the Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein; and

(d)The applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Fronting Bank, for its own account, with respect to the Issuance of each Participated Letter of Credit for such Borrower’s account hereunder, a fronting fee described in the Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein and, to the Fronting Bank and the L/C Agent, such reasonable fees and expenses as the Fronting Bank or L/C Agent customarily requires in connection with the issuance, amendment, transfer, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit.

46

2.11[Reserved].

2.12Conversions and Continuations.

(a)Each Borrower shall have the right, on any Business Day occurring on or after the Closing Date, to elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans, or to convert any SOFR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any SOFR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day for an additional Interest Period, provided that (w) any such conversion of SOFR Loans of the same Borrowing into Base Rate Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; any such conversion of Base Rate Loans of the same Borrowing into, or continuation of, SOFR Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and no partial conversion of SOFR Loans of the same Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of SOFR Loans to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (x) if a SOFR Loan is converted into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower will pay, upon such conversion, all amounts required under Section 2.19 to be paid as a consequence thereof, (y) no such conversion or continuation shall be permitted with regard to any Swingline Loans and (z) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans or continuation of SOFR Loans shall be permitted during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

(b)The applicable Borrower shall make each such election by giving the Administrative Agent written notice not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or continuation of, SOFR Loans and one Business Day prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-3 and shall specify (x) the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the aggregate amount and Type of the Loans being converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the proposed conversion or continuation. In the event that the Borrowers shall fail to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein with respect to any outstanding SOFR Loans, such SOFR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof). In the event the applicable Borrower shall have failed to select in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any conversion into, or continuation of, SOFR Loans, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month.

2.13Method of Payments; Computations; Apportionment of Payments.

(a)All payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be made directly to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders), at the Payment Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date payment is due. Any payment made as required hereinabove, but after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject in the case of SOFR Loans to the

47

definition of “Interest Period”), and such extension of time shall then be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable amounts.

(b)The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the payment is received by 12:00 noon in immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each relevant Lender on the same date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Share of such payment, and (ii) if such payment is received after 12:00 noon or in other than immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each such Lender its Ratable Share of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision hereof, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its Ratable Share of such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender. The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lender like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lender in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders.

(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, 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 Banks, 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 Overnight Rate.

(d)All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under (i) and (ii) above, with regard to the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i)first, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of the

48

Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;

(ii)second, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

(iii)third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the L/C Agent in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iv)fourth, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including, without limitation, fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event irrespective of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding);

(v)fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (including the payment of any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations);

(vi)sixth, to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure and to the payment of all other Obligations and other obligations that shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and

(vii)seventh, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to the Borrowers, pro rata, or whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category, (y) all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vii) above, and (z) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause (v) above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 2.5(f).

2.14Recovery of Payments.

(a)Each Borrower agrees that to the extent such Borrower makes a payment or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause (whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(b)If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, its representative or successor in interest, or any other Person, whether by court order, by settlement approved by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, or pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, such

49

Lender or such Issuing Bank will, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Borrower, its representative or successor in interest or such other Person, the Administrative Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed.

2.15Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to provide for the working capital and general corporate requirements of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries not in contravention of any Requirement of Law or any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no proceeds from any Credit Extension shall be used, directly or, to the applicable Borrower’s knowledge after due care and inquiry, indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

2.16Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings, continuations and conversions of Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Ratable Share (in the case of the initial making of the Loans) or on the basis of their respective outstanding Loans (in the case of continuations and conversions of the Loans), as the case may be from time to time. All payments on account of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively.

(b)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 other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its Ratable Share thereof as provided herein, 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 the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other Obligations owing them, 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 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any 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) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.16(b) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable Debtor Relief Law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.16(b) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such

50

secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.16(b) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

2.17Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the FRB, as amended and in effect from time to time)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank;

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

(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation 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 or participate in any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such 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, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

51

(c)A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the calculation in reasonable detail of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(b) and delivered to the applicable Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the applicable Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Subject to clause (f) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining SOFR Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) each Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19.

(f)Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.17(f)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

52

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

(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.17(f)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17(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 sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).

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

(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) each Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

53

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or to continue to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, in their sole discretion elect to convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19.

(h)Similar Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 2.17(a) and 2.17(b), no Lender, Issuing Bank or Recipient shall impose any costs specified therein or make any request for compensation pursuant thereto (or be entitled to any such additional costs) unless such Lender, Issuing Bank or Recipient is then generally imposing such cost upon or requesting such compensation from borrowers in connection with similar credit facilities containing similar provisions and at the time of such request certifies to the Borrowers to the effect of the foregoing; provided such Lender, Issuing Bank or Recipient shall not be required to disclose any of its records or any other information that it deems confidential.

2.18Taxes.

(a)For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank.

(b)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any 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 Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18 the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Each Borrower 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.

54

(d)Each Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for its applicable share of the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18 payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any 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 of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.18(e).

(f)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.18, the applicable Borrower 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 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable 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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable 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 preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.18(g)(ii)(A), 2.18(g)(ii)(B) and 2.18(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

55

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

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the applicable 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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 applicable 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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable 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 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of

56

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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable 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 applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable 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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.18(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(h) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.18(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,

57

the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

2.19Compensation. Each Borrower will compensate each Lender upon demand for all losses (other than loss of Applicable Percentage), expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds or from any fees payable) which may arise, be attributable to or result due to or as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a SOFR Loan, (b)  any failure of such Borrower to borrow or continue a SOFR Loan or convert to a SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (c) any failure of such Borrower to prepay any SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment (regardless of whether any such notice of prepayment may be revoked under Section 2.8(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (e) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20(a). A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. All of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.19 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.

2.20Replacement of Lenders; Mitigation of Costs.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.17(a) or 2.17(b), or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.20(b), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.17(a), 2.17(b) or 2.18) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 10.6(b)(iv);

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, any L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.19) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a request for compensation under Sections 2.17(a) or 2.17(b) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law; and

58

(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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 Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.20 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.17(a) or 2.17(b), or requires any 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 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans or L/C Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.17(a), 2.17(b) or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender as it so deems in good faith. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.21Increase in Commitments.

(a)The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date but prior to the date 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date by written notice to and in consultation with the Administrative Agent, to request an increase in the aggregate Commitments (each such requested increase, a “Commitment Increase”), by having one or more existing Lenders increase their respective Commitments then in effect (each, an “Increasing Lender”), by adding as a Lender with a new Commitment hereunder one or more Persons that are not already Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”), or a combination thereof; provided that (i) any such request for a Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the aggregate of all Commitment Increases effected after the Closing Date shall not exceed $200,000,000, and (iii) no existing Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment as a result of any request for a Commitment Increase by the Company unless it agrees in its sole discretion to do so.

(b)Each Additional Lender must qualify as an Eligible Assignee (the approval of which by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Bank shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrowers and each Additional Lender shall execute a Lender Joinder Agreement together with all such other documentation as the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may reasonably require, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to evidence the Commitment of such Additional Lender and its status as a Lender hereunder.

59

(c)If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Commitment Increase Date,” which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Commitment Increase Date. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Lenders, to enter into any amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such Commitment Increase.

(d)Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section2.21, no increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section2.21 shall be effective unless:

(i)The Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Commitment Increase Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(A)as to each Increasing Lender, evidence of its agreement to provide a portion of the Commitment Increase, and as to each Additional Lender, a duly executed Lender Joinder agreement together with all other documentation required by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers pursuant to Section2.21(b);

(B)an instrument, duly executed by each Borrower and the Guarantor, acknowledging and reaffirming its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(C)a certificate of the secretary or an assistant secretary of each Borrower, certifying to and attaching the resolutions adopted by the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment Increase;

(D)a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Company, certifying that (y) as of the Commitment Increase Date, all representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects), both immediately before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase and any Borrowings or Letters of Credit issued in connection therewith (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects), in each case as of such date), and (z) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, both immediately before and after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (including any Borrowings or Letters of Credit issued in connection therewith and the application of the proceeds thereof);

(ii)If there is a non-ratable increase in the aggregate Commitments, each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit shall have been amended giving effect to the reallocation of the Commitments or, if required, returned by each respective beneficiary to the Administrative Agent and cancelled and/or exchanged for a new or amended Syndicated Letter of Credit giving effect to the reallocated Commitments; and

(iii)The conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall have been satisfied.

60

(e)On the Commitment Increase Date, to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable in the event of any non-ratable increase in the aggregate Commitments, (i) all then outstanding Revolving Loans (the “Outstanding Loans”) shall, to the extent not then maintained as Base Rate Loans, automatically be converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, each Borrower may, if it so requests, convert any such Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans in the amounts and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.12, (iii) each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Lender’s Ratable Share, calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, of the Outstanding Loans and (z) such Lender’s Ratable Share, calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase, of the Outstanding Loans, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Lender’s Ratable Share, calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase, of the Outstanding Loans and (z) such Lender’s Ratable Share, calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, of the amount of the Outstanding Loans, (v) the Lenders shall be deemed to hold the Outstanding Loans ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase), (vi) each Borrower shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding Loans as of the Commitment Increase Date to the Lenders entitled thereto, and (vii) Schedule 1.1(a) shall automatically be amended to reflect the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the Commitment Increase. The conversion of SOFR Loans pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.19 if the Commitment Increase Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.

2.22Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, 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)Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 10.5.

(ii)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A)first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B)second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder;

(C)third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for the Fronting Exposure of the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(c);

61

(D)fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(E)fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Fronting 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 2.22(c);

(F)sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(G)seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(H)eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Lender.

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Letter of Credit Exposure for which it has provided Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.22(c).

(C)With respect to any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iii)(A) or 2.22(a)(iii)(B), the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee

62

otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure or Swingline Exposure that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv), (y) pay to the Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Fronting Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Credit Exposures (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.

(v)If the reallocation described in Section 2.22(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (A) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (b) second, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(c).

(b)If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase 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 Revolving Loans, Syndicated Letters of Credit and funded and unfunded participations in Participated Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Credit Exposures (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two Business Days upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(i)All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The applicable Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations

63

to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.22(c)(ii). 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 as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender 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.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in specific Letter of Credit Exposure or specific Swingline Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee)) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.22 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.13) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Fronting 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.

2.23Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

(a)The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) given in writing not more than ninety (90) days and not later than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date (each such anniversary date, the relevant “Extension Date”), on no more than two (2) occasions during the term of this Agreement, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date for a period of one (1) year from the Commitment Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”); provided that the Commitment Termination Date, after giving effect to any such extension, shall not be later than five (5) years after the effective date of such extension.

(i)Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given in writing not earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the Extension Date and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Extension Date (the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the Extension Date being the “Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent if such Lender accepts the extension request from the Company (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment Termination Date (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination and in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

64

(ii)The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.23(a) no later than the date that is ten (10) days prior to the Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(iii)The Company shall have the right on or before the Extension Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Extension Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(iv)If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Date, then, effective as of the Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date of each extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one (1) year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.23(a) shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(A)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and

(B)the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

(vi)On or before the Commitment Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall pay in full (i) the principal of and interest on all of the Revolving Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender to the Borrowers hereunder and (ii) all other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder.

2.24Additional Borrowers. The Company may at any time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company that is organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof as a Borrower (each such Subsidiary, an “Additional Borrower”) to request Letters of Credit and Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H-1 (an “Additional Borrower Joinder Agreement”). As a condition to any Additional Borrower joining this Agreement as a Borrower and becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein, the Administrative Agent shall have

65

received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information that it may reasonably request and any information reasonably necessary for any Lender to satisfy its “know-your-customer” obligations as required by law. Promptly following receipt of the executed Additional Borrower Joinder Agreement and all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Additional Borrower shall constitute a Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon such Additional Borrower may request Letters of Credit and Loans hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Additional Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.25Termination of Subsidiary Borrowers. So long as there shall be no Loans or Letters of Credit outstanding with respect to any Borrower who is a subsidiary of the Company (a “Subsidiary Borrower”) or other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by such Subsidiary Borrower (or any pending borrowing request by such Subsidiary Borrower), the Company may elect to terminate such Subsidiary Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (each a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice”), duly completed and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company. Any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly so notify the Lenders), whereupon all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower or to Issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower, and the rights of such Subsidiary Borrower to borrow Loans and request Letters of Credit hereunder shall terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately cease to be a Borrower hereunder and a party hereto; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate or discharge (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at such time or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article XI with respect to any such unpaid obligations.

2.26ESG Amendment. After the Closing Date, the Company, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, shall be entitled to establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) targets of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Sustainability Structuring Agent. The Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement. Upon effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrowers’ performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments to the Commitment Fee and Applicable Percentage for Loans and Letter of Credit Fees may be made; provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in an increase or decrease of more than (a) 1.00 basis point in the Commitment Fee and/or (b) 5.00 basis points in the Applicable Percentage for Loans and Letter of Credit Fees, and such adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year. The pricing adjustments will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (as published from time to time by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association) or with precedent Sustainability Linked Loans in the insurance syndicated loan market at the time of the ESG Amendment and is to be agreed between the Company and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Commitment Fee or Applicable Percentage for Loans and Letter of Credit Fees to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders.

66

2.27Sustainability Structuring Agent. The Sustainability Structuring Agent will (i) assist the Company in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Company in preparing informational materials focused on KPIs to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment, in each case, based upon the information provided by the Company with respect to the applicable KPIs selected in accordance with Section 2.26. Each party hereto agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent (x) makes any assurances with regard to environmental or social impact and sustainability performance or that the characteristics of the relevant KPI metrics (including any environmental, social and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology) meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities, (y) shall have any duty (or liability in respect of) to ascertain, inquire into or otherwise independently verify any such information, or (z) shall have any responsibility for (or be liable for) the completeness or accuracy of any such information. The Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions in Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 10.1 and 10.13 in each case to the same effect as the Administrative Agent thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders (for purposes of this Article, references to the Lenders shall also mean the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 9.6, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Unum Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) herein or in any other Credit Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.2Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.3Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

88

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.5 and 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrowers or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Credit Extension that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Credit Extension. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.5Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

9.6Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company and subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to

89

be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or has accepted such appointment, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for in Section9.6(a). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.7Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in 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, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and

90

advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents, sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.10 or 10.1.

9.9Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section9.2) shall apply to Wells Fargo as the Fronting Bank, LC Agent and the Swingline Lender mutatismutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

9.10No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Sustainability Structuring Agent, Bookrunners, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in their respective capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or a Lender hereunder.

9.11Lender ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

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

(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender,

91

the requirements of subsection (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 the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

9.12Erroneous Payments.

(a)Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each other Lender party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Lender party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Lender party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or other Lender party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 9.12(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

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

92

(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(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 immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 10.6 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Unum Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or any other Unum Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of,

93

a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

(g)Nothing in this Section 9.12 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by any Unum Party, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Unum Party, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Unum Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Unum Party against such Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if such Borrower or such Unum Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from any dispute solely among Indemnitees, other than any claims against any Indemnitee in its respective capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Swingline Bank, Arranger or Fronting Bank, and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of any Borrower or any other Unum Party. This Section 10.1(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s proportion (based on the percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in their capacities as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.1(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c).

(d)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that this shall not limit the Company’s indemnification obligations herein to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.1(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Platform, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages (as opposed to indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, losses or expenses) resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

95

(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable by the Company upon demand therefor.

(c)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in Section 10.2(b).

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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

96

TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites such as the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Fronting Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication and the Administrative Agent has so notified the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent by 8:00 p.m., such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or other communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications effected thereby. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with any such communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of any notices or communications through the Platform, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or

97

willful misconduct of such Agent Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)Any party hereto may change its address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (except that each Lender need not give notice of any such change to the other Lenders in their capacities as such).

10.5Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Borrower from, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent shall:

(a)unless agreed to in writing by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any Reimbursement Obligation, (ii) reduce the rate of or forgive any interest thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to waive the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), (iii) reduce or forgive any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any Arranger for its own account), (iv) extend the final scheduled maturity date or any other scheduled date for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan (including the Commitment Termination Date), (v) extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Final Maturity Date, or extend the time of payment of any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any Arranger for its own account), or (vi) increase any Commitment of any such Lender over the amount thereof in effect or extend the maturity thereof (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section3.2 or of any Default or Event of Default, if agreed to by the Required Lenders, or all Lenders (as may be required hereunder with respect to such waiver), shall not constitute such an increase);

(b)unless agreed to by all of the Lenders, (i) change the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, (ii) change or waive any provision of Section 2.13(e), (iii) change or waive any provision of Section 2.16 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document requiring pro rata treatment of any Lenders in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (iv) change any provision of this Section 10.5;

(c)unless agreed to by the L/C Agent, the Fronting Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent in addition to the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action, affect the respective rights or obligations of the L/C Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents; and

and providedfurther that the Fee Letter may only be amended or modified, and any rights thereunder waived, in a writing signed by the parties thereto, and provided further, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or enter into additional Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Replacement Rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 2.17(f) in accordance with the terms of Section 2.17(f).

98

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, if the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have jointly identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of such amendment to the Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent), to (x) amend and restate this Agreement if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (A) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and (B) any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder which requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms disproportionately and adversely affects any such Defaulting Lender relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

10.6Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.6(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Credit Extensions (including participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Credit Extensions at the time owing to it or in the case of an

99

assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, or  in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Credit Extensions of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than (y)  $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding), or (z) the entire Swingline Commitment and the full amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, in the case of Swingline Loans, in any case, treating assignments to two or more Approved Funds under common management as one assignment for purposes of the minimum amounts, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment and/or Credit Extensions assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans;

(iii)no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (B) of Section 10.6(b)(i) and, in addition:

(A)the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (y) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (z) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C)the consent of the Fronting Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Participated Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers such documentation required pursuant to Section 2.18(g);

(v)no such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and

100

(vi)no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(d), 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, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17(a), 2.17(b), 2.18, 2.19 and 10.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by or on behalf of the assignee, the Borrowers, at their own expense, will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note or Notes to the order of the assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has retained any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the order of the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.4 as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitment and/or outstanding Credit Extensions, as the case may be, of the assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.6(e).

(c)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, 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 subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Ratable 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 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Credit Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address for notices referred to in Schedule 1.1(a) 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 Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.

101

The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Credit Extensions owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, the Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.5(a) and clause (i) of Section 10.5(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17(a), 2.17(b), 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 or 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(b) 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 Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under 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, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

102

(g)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h)Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment, participation, pledge or proposed assignment, participation or pledge pursuant to this Section 10.6, disclose to the Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee any information relating to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries furnished to it by or on behalf of any other party hereto, provided that such Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders under Section 10.11.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Wells Fargo assigns all of its Commitment and Credit Extensions in accordance with this Section 10.6, Wells Fargo may resign as Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and L/C Agent upon written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Borrowers shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and L/C Agent with the agreement of said Lender; provided that no failure by the Borrowers to make such appointment shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and L/C Agent. Wells Fargo shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and L/C Agent hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it or Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all obligations of the Borrowers and the Lenders with respect thereto.

10.7No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

10.8Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of the Borrowers in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or thereof and the making and repayment of the Loans and the Issuance of Letters of Credit and repayment of all Reimbursement Obligations, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan, Letter of Credit or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 2.17(a), 2.17(b), 2.18, 2.19, 10.1 and Article IX, shall survive the payment in full of all Credit Extensions, the termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit,

103

and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any provision hereof or thereof.

10.9Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.10Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement and the table of contents have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the provision of this Agreement shall control.

10.11Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and 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), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the applicable Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis, to (i) any rating agency in connection with the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the facilities created hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities created hereunder; (h) with the consent of the applicable Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Unum Parties relating to any Unum Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Unum Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

104

10.12Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (except for the Fee Letter). Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

(b)The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Borrowers, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto)  shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Credit Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

10.13No Fiduciary Relationship Established By Credit Documents. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the

105

transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents, irrespective of whether any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrowers or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; and (b) (i) the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders each 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 the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that they may have against any of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.14Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court or in respect of any tender made by any Borrower, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given or such tender is made. The obligation of the such Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any tender or judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum received or adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or tender, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

10.15Disclosure of Information. The Borrowers agree and consent to the Administrative Agent’s and the Arranger’s disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications. Such information will consist solely of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

106

10.16Acknowledgement 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 among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other 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.

10.17PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Issuing Bank and each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the PATRIOT Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

10.18Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans, letters of credit and other obligations of the Borrowers outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be loans, letters of credit and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person (including, without limitation, any Assignment and Assumption), except that the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans, together with any Revolving Loans funded on the Closing Date, reflect the respective Commitments of the Lenders hereunder. The Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders in respect of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be automatically reallocated among the Lenders as of the Closing Date based on their pro rata shares of the Commitments as of the Closing Date.

10.19Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other

107

agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below 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):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the 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.

(b)As used in this Section 10.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

ARTICLE XI

THE GUARANTY

108

11.1The Guaranty.

(a)In order to induce the Lenders, the Fronting Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantor from the Credit Extensions hereunder, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers under the Credit Documents including the Reimbursement Obligations owing by such other Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Upon failure by any Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, the Guarantor agrees to pay forthwith on demand the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.

(b)Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Article XI shall be unconditional, absolute and irrevocable , and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release (including with respect to any collateral) in respect of any obligation of any other Borrower under any of the Credit Documents, by operation of law or otherwise;

(ii)any modification or amendment of or supplement to any of the Credit Documents;

(iii)any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents;

(iv)any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any Bankruptcy Event or other similar proceeding affecting any other obligor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any other obligor contained in any of the Credit Documents;

(v)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any obligor may have at any time against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other corporation or person, whether in connection with any of the Credit Documents or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(vi)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower for any reason of any of the Credit Documents, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other obligor of principal, interest or any other amount payable under any of the Credit Documents;

(vii)any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any obligation or the Lenders’ rights with respect thereto; or

(viii)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other corporation or person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than the defense of payment) which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI.

109

(c)Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have terminated, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and all Obligations payable by the Borrowers under the Credit Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any Obligation payable by a Borrower under the Credit Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(d)Waiver by the Guarantor. The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any corporation or person against any other obligor or any other corporation or person, in each case with respect to its obligations under this Article XI. The Guarantor warrants and agrees that each waiver set forth in this Section11.1(d) is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(e)Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower, or any other insider guarantor that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent against any Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all Obligations payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full in cash, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of all amounts payable under this Guaranty, and (b) the Final Expiry Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to all amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, or to be held as collateral for any amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent of all or any amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Final Expiry Date shall have occurred, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

(f)Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under any of the Credit Documents is stayed upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor under this Article XI forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders.

110

(g)Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of all Obligations payable under this Agreement and (ii) the Final Expiry Date, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their successors, transferees and assigns.

(h)Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations of such Borrower, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Guarantor after receipt of notice of an Event of Default (which has occurred and is continuing) by Administrative Agent shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders to be credited and applied against such Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
