61

Section 1.08 Limited Condition Transactions.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, Net Secured Leverage Ratio and Net Total Leverage Ratio; (ii) determining compliance with the applicable representations and warranties in Article III or determining compliance with any covenant in this Agreement and the absence of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h)or (i)); or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA); in each case, at the option of Parent (Parent’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be, at the option of Parent in its discretion, (A) in the case of any acquisition or other similar Investment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment or (y) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, (B) in the case of any Disposition, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Disposition or (y) the consummation of such Disposition, (C) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (D) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment (such time, in each case, the “LCT Test Date”) and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof), a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, or compliance with Section 4.01, such ratio, test or basket and such Sections shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers have made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrowers have made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement with respect to any acquisition or similar Investment is terminated or the date for any Restricted Debt Payment in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of (i) any Incremental Commitments that may be incurred under clause (b) of the definition of “Incremental Amount” and (ii) any Indebtedness that may be incurred under baskets requiring the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, Net Secured Leverage Ratio and Net Total Leverage Ratio, in each case, determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Parent, at the time of funding.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans under the same Facility and of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments under the applicable Facility.

(b) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing and at the time each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that (i) any Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing and (ii) any Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Commitments of such Class; provided further that a Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused available balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 10 Term SOFR Borrowings outstanding under all Facilities at any time. Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

63

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing of any Class if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date for such Class, as applicable.

(c) On any Business Day that is at least three (3) Business Days after the date of Borrowing of any Swingline Loan, any Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Facility Lender that all then outstanding Swingline Loans of each Swingline Lender shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans, in which case (i) Revolving Facility Loans constituting ABR Loans shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) by each Revolving Facility Lender pro rata based on each Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lenders to repay the Swingline Lenders for all such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Facility Loans upon one (1) Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lenders notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.02(b), (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.01 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (v) any reduction in the total Revolving Facility Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lenders, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law in respect of the applicable Borrower), each Revolving Facility Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from each Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Facility Percentages; provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lenders until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

65

(d) If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments (the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another Class of Revolving Facility Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date (each a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, if consented to by the Swingline Lenders (in their sole discretion), on the earliest occurring maturity date such Swingline Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to (including with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit) exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swingline Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or Cash Collateralized and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swingline Loans allocated to the Revolving Facility Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment. Upon the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments, the relevant sublimit for Swingline Loans may be reduced as agreed between the relevant Swingline Lenders and the applicable Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

(e) Prior to the making of each Swingline Loan, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders shall have received a Borrowing Request meeting the applicable requirements of Section 2.03.

(f) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.04(c), with the applicable Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(g) Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Parent, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(h)

(i) In the case of the replacement of a Swingline Lender where Parent intends and agrees that a successor Swingline Lender be appointed, subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, Parent and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(g)above.

66

(ii) In the case of a resignation of a Swingline Lender where Parent has agreed that no successor Swingline Lender need be appointed as a condition of such resignation, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, Parent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such resignation shall become effective (which shall be no earlier than the date falling thirty days after the date on which such prior written notice was received by the Administrative Agent and Parent), the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the resigning Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). After the resignation of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the resigned Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its resignation becoming effective, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower) may request the issuance of one or more letters of credit or bank guarantees in Dollars in the form of (x) trade letters of credit or bank guarantees in support of trade obligations of Parent and/or its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (such letters of credit or bank guarantees issued for such purposes, “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (y) standby letters of credit issued for any other lawful purposes of Parent and/or its Subsidiaries (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Standby Letters of Credit”; each such letter of credit or bank guarantee, issued hereunder, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the applicable Availability Period and prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided, that (x) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue Trade Letters of Credit unless it agrees in writing to do so in its sole discretion, (y) the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary that is not a Borrower shall be subject to (i) receipt of such information and documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank in order to comply with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT ACT and (ii) Parent being a co-applicant and remaining primarily liable for the obligations of such Subsidiary with respect to such Letter of Credit and (z) the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue Letters of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Applicable Law binding upon such Issuing Bank or the issuance of the Letter of Credit would, in the sole discretion of such Issuing Bank (acting reasonably and in good faith), violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement (including clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.05.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic extension in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.05) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower) shall transmit (including by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit constitutes a Standby Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit such Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) any Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment of such Class, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class shall not exceed the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, (iii) the aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (iv) with respect to any Issuing Bank, the Revolving L/C Exposure of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Specified L/C Sublimit of such Issuing Bank then in effect.

67

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one (1) year (unless otherwise agreed upon by Parent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one (1) year (unless otherwise agreed upon by Parent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one (1) year tenor may provide for automatic renewal or extension thereof for additional one (1) year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)) so long as such Letter of Credit permits the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12)-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve (12)-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; provided, further, that if such Issuing Bank consents in its sole discretion, the expiration date on any Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above, provided, that if any such Letter of Credit is outstanding or is issued under the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class after the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date for such Class such Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the face amount of each such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to such Revolving Facility Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) under the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender under such Class, and each such Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments (in which case, Parent shall provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j)), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

68

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after such Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section 2.05 of such L/C Disbursement (or the second Business Day, if such notice is received after 12:00 noon, New York City time), together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement at the rate applicable to such Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class; provided, that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing of the applicable Class in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing. If such Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other applicable Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment of the applicable Class shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. If any Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount is paid to the applicable Issuing Bank after the date such payment is due, such Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall remit to such Issuing Bank on demand, in addition to such amount, the sum of (x) the product of (i) such amount times (ii) the Overnight Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360, plus (y) any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of a Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), 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 the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are determined by final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise reasonable care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

69

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class; provided, that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d)shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable L/C Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

70

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, such Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization Following Certain Events. If and when the applicable Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize any Revolving L/C Exposure relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to any of Section 2.05(c), Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(c), Section 2.22(a)(v)or Section 7.01, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date (or, in the case of Section 2.05(c), Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(c)and Section 2.22(a)(v), the portion thereof required by such sections). Each deposit of Cash Collateral (x) made pursuant to this paragraph or (y) made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(ii), in each case, shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent and (ii) at any other time, such Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of such Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (x) the consent of Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50.0% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure and (y) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, such Issuing Bank will have Fronting Exposure with respect to such Revolving Facility Lender, and solely with respect to an amount up to such Fronting Exposure), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If the applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender or the occurrence of a limit under Section 2.11(b)or Section 2.11(c)being exceeded, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the termination of the Defaulting Lender status or the limits under Section 2.11(b)and Section 2.11(c)no longer being exceeded, as applicable.

(k) Cash Collateralization Following Termination of the Revolving Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and the termination of all Revolving Facility Commitments (a “Revolving Facility Termination Event”) in connection with which the applicable Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Agreement in effect after the date of such Revolving Facility Termination Event (each, a “Continuing Letter of Credit”), then the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under the Security Documents may be terminated in accordance with Section 9.18 if each such Continuing Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum L/C Collateral Amount, which shall be deposited with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank.

71

(l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, Parent may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, designate as an additional Issuing Bank any Lender (in addition to the initial Issuing Banks) that agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

(m) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from Parent pursuant to Section 2.05(b)no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised such Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(n) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Parent unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) issued for the account of any Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary that is a Borrower), Parent will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of L/C Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due hereunder in respect of such Letter of Credit to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (and Parent hereby irrevocably waives any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Subsidiary).

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than any Swingline Loan) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., New York City time (or in the case of an ABR Loan, if later, by two hours after the delivery by Parent to the Administrative Agent of the applicable Borrowing Request), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lenders no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date thereof. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower promptly (and, in the case of Swingline Loans, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)) by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts designated by such Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided, that Revolving Facility Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e)shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to front for any amounts not received from any Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

72

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally (and jointly and severally with respect to the Borrowers) agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable 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 greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans under the applicable Facility at such time. If the Borrowers 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 Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Lenders. In such event, the applicable Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Revolving Facility Loan by such Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and under the applicable Class specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of Term SOFR Borrowings, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, Parent shall deliver (by email or other electronic means approved by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent a written Interest Election Request, duly completed and executed by a Responsible Officer,, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if Parent were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

73

(c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrower of the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies;

(ii) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(iii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. If less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and satisfy the limitations specified in Section 2.02(b)regarding the maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall continue as a Term SOFR Borrowing with a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) each Term SOFR Borrowing, unless repaid, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) At the close of business on the last Business Day of the Availability Period for each Facility and unless previously terminated, any portion of the Commitments in relation to that Facility remaining undrawn will terminate.

(b) Parent may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class) and (ii) Parent shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 and any Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j)or Section 2.05(k), the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Lender (excluding any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit) would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lender.

74

(c) Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class delivered by Parent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by Parent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (or waived by Parent or the applicable Borrower in its sole discretion) and/or rescinded at any time by Parent if Parent determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived). Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility, Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts maintained by any Lender, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern and control.

75

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (as the case may be) or its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

(b) In the event that the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, Parent shall prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings of such Class (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, provide Cash Collateral in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) In the event that the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the letter of credit sublimit, at the request of the Administrative Agent, Parent shall provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j)in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

76

(d) Prior to any prepayment of any Loan under any Facility hereunder, Parent shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be prepaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, at least one Business Day before the scheduled date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, at least three Business Days before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, that such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, events or circumstances and may be revoked and/or rescinded by Parent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (or waived by Parent in its sole discretion) or if Parent determines in its sole discretion that any of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived).

Section 2.12 Fees.

78

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing:

(A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR, including because the applicable rate is not available or published on a current basis, for such Interest Period; or

(B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of any applicable Class that the then applicable benchmark rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Parent and the applicable Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (B), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) notifies Parent and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, then (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Term SOFR Borrowing, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests an affected Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Upon any such conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16. Subject to clause (b) below, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without requiring any amendment to, or requiring further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.

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

79

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(e)and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including any Term SOFR) and either (I) 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 (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer 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 (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then 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.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (A) the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (each an “Increased Cost Party”); or

80

(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or Loan Document or its obligations thereunder (other than (A) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or (B) Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Increased Cost Party or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Increased Cost Party or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Increased Cost Party of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Increased Cost Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Increased Cost Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),

then the Borrowers will pay to such Increased Cost Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Increased Cost Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrowers will not be obliged to compensate any Increased Cost Party (or any of its Affiliates) in relation to (i) an additional or increased cost, (ii) a reduction in any amount due or payable under any Loan Document and (iii) a reduction in the rate of return from a Facility or on the Increased Cost Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital, in each case, which is suffered or incurred by an Increased Cost Party or any of its Affiliates:

(i) compensated for under Section 2.17 or which would have been so compensated for but for an exception in Section 2.17 or Section 9.05;

(ii) attributable to a change (whether of basis, timing or otherwise) in the Tax on the overall net income of the Secured Party (or any Affiliate of it) or of its Lending Office (or otherwise the branch or office through which it participates in any Loan);

(iii) attributable to the breach by the Secured Party (or any Affiliate of it) of (w) any Applicable Law or (x) the terms of any Loan Document;

(iv) attributable to any penalty having been imposed by the relevant central bank or monetary or fiscal authority upon the Secured Party (or any Affiliate of it) by virtue of its having exceeded any country or sector borrowing limits or breached any directives imposed upon it;

(v) to the extent that it is attributable to the implementation or application of or compliance with Basel II, Basel III or Basel IV or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II, Basel III or Basel IV (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Increased Cost Party or any of its Affiliates), provided that, in each case, any Lender seeking to recover such increased costs indemnity or reimbursement in respect of Basel II, Basel III and Basel IV shall confirm to Parent that it is charging other similarly situated borrowers to whom it lends an equivalent increased cost charge, where it is permitted to do so;

(vi) attributable to a Secured Party being incorporated, domiciled, established, located, resident or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction; or

(vii) not certified or notified to Parent in accordance with Section 2.15(d)or Section 2.15(e)below.

81

(c) If any Increased Cost Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Increased Cost Party’s capital or on the capital of such Increased Cost Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Increased Cost Party, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Increased Cost Party, to a level below that which such Increased Cost Party or such Increased Cost Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Increased Cost Party’s policies and the policies of such Increased Cost Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Increased Cost Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Increased Cost Party or such Increased Cost Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) A certificate of an Increased Cost Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Increased Cost Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Increased Cost Party’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrowers and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrowers shall pay such Increased Cost Party the amount accurately shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(e) Promptly after any Increased Cost Party has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Increased Cost Party shall notify the Borrowers thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Increased Cost Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Increased Cost Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate an Increased Cost Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Increased Cost Party notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Increased Cost Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow (other than due to the default of the relevant Lender), convert, continue or prepay any Term SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (d) the assignment or prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Parent pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the reasonable, documented and actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event as determined in good faith by such Lender (excluding loss of margin or anticipated profits). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to Parent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such accurate certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law; provided, that if a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (A) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable withholding agent to be required by any Applicable Law, (B) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (C) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, an additional amount shall be paid by the Loan Party as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) any Lender (or where the Administrative Agent receives the payment for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. After any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Parent, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(b) The Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 9.04(d)relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

83

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to Parent and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by Parent or the Administrative Agent, respectively, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding of Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, any such withholding of Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Each Lender shall co-operate in completing any such procedural formalities, in each case, as will permit any payments to that Lender under any Loan Document to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Parent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Parent or the Administrative Agent as will enable Parent 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 paragraphs (f)(i), (f)(ii) and (l) of this Section) 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.

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Parent and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Parent or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and

(ii) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Parent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Parent or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: (A) 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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” Article of such tax treaty, (B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI, (C) 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 H-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 any 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-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, or (D) 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, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-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 H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

84

(iii) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Parent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Parent 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 any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

(h) Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 9.04 or a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.17; provided that a Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements solely to the Person from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(i) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(j) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a Refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which Refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Loan Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Loan Party for such amount (net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (including any Taxes), and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Refund) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith to be the proportion of the Refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the Refund) than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such Refund had not been imposed in the first instance; provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent shall repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event the Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such Refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at Parent’s request, provide Parent with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such Refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (j) or any other provision of this Section 2.17.

85

(k) If any Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments, each affected Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers as the Borrowers may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(k). Nothing in this Section 2.17(k)shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

(l) If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan 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 Parent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Parent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(l), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(m) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation of any Agent, any assignment of rights by a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.

For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, each of the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to Parent by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

86

(b) Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, and participations in L/C Disbursements of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled to receive the same proportion of such payment, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, and participations in L/C Disbursements of such Class of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the principal amount of each such Lender’s respective Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of such Class and accrued interest thereon; 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 clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, its Swingline Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant. 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 set-off 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.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Parent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d)or Section 2.05(e), Section 2.06 or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s or obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

87

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.20, then such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing its Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.20, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Issuing Banks or, if in respect of any Swingline Commitments or Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lenders), to the extent consent would be required under Section 9.04(b)for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder 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) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and such replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after Parent’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment. Each Lender agrees that if it is required to assign and delegate any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 2.19(b), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such assignment and delegation and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04, the failure of such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Note shall not render such assignment and delegation (and the corresponding sale and purchase) invalid), and any such assignment and delegation shall be recorded in the Register and any such Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.19(b).

88

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then Parent shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to (and any such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon Parent’s request) assign its Loans and its Commitments (or, at Parent’s option, the Loans and Commitments under the Facility that is the subject of the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent (unless such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund), (ii) if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders; provided, that (a) all Loan Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and such replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after Parent’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20 Illegality.

If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Term SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Term SOFR Borrowings shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the ABR, the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the ABR, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) either: (i) in the case of Term SOFR Loans if the affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans as Term SOFR Loans until the last day of such Interest Period, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans on the last day of such Interest Period (or, otherwise, immediately convert such Term SOFR Loans to ABR Loans) or (ii) prepay such Term SOFR Loans. Upon any prepayment or conversion pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

89

Section 2.21 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Parent or any other Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, establish Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable, in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount available at the time such Incremental Commitments are established (or at the time any commitment relating thereto is entered into or, at the option of Parent or the relevant Borrower, at the time of incurrence of the Incremental Loans thereunder or, with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment established for purposes of financing any Permitted Business Acquisition or any other acquisition or similar Investment that is permitted by this Agreement, as of the date the definitive agreement with respect to such Permitted Business Acquisition, acquisition or similar Investment is entered into) from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which may include any existing Lender or any other Person that would be an eligible Assignee under Section 9.04) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion; provided, that each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender providing a commitment to make revolving loans shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent the same would be required for an assignment under Section 9.04, and the Issuing Banks (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender is a Revolving Facility Lender. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being established (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are anticipated to become effective.

(b) Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment. Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Parent and the other Borrowers in consultation with the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and, to the extent practicable, to make an Incremental Loan fungible (including for Tax purposes) with other Loans (subject to the limitations under Section 2.21(c)) to the extent practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, an Incremental Amendment may (i) extend or add “call protection” or most-favored-nation protection to any existing tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (ii) amend the schedule of amortization payments relating to any existing tranche of Term Loans (provided, that any such amendment shall not decrease any amortization payment to any Lender that would have otherwise been payable to such Lender prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Amendment), in the case of each clause (i) and (ii), so that such new Incremental Term Loans and the applicable existing Incremental Term Loans form the same Class of Incremental Term Loans. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby. This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.08 to the contrary. The Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

90

(c) The terms of any Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall be established by the Borrowers and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, that:

(i) any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be documented solely as an increase to the commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, without any change in terms except for such upfront fees as may be agreed between the Incremental Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Borrowers;

(ii) any Incremental Term Loans may be in different currencies (with different interest rate and benchmark replacement terms) and may have different pricing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, original issue discount and upfront fees), maturity, amortization, voluntary prepayment provisions, mandatory prepayment or redemption requirements, pro rata sharing provisions, call protection or other terms from the Revolving Credit Facility or any other class of loans (including any other Incremental Term Loans), and the Loan Documents may be amended or modified by Parent and the Administrative Agent (A) to reflect such terms and other terms customary for term loan facilities or facilities with both revolving and term loan facilities (as reasonably determined by Parent and agreed by the Incremental Term Lenders), (B) to provide that certain terms, covenants or defaults (including in respect of the Financial Covenant) only benefit (or may only be waived by) the Revolving Facility Lenders, (C) to add limitations on final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity (and exceptions to such limitations) for the benefit of the relevant Incremental Term Lenders, (D) to the extent mandatory prepayment terms are added in respect of any Incremental Term Loans with respect to excess cash flow or asset sales, extraordinary receipts or other events, the definition of “Net Proceeds” may be amended to provide for exclusions or exceptions and the definition of “Cumulative Credit” may be amended to include additions for retained excess cash flow or declined proceeds, in each case, as may be agreed by the relevant Incremental Term Lenders and (E) to add provisions with respect to extension, refinancing and replacement term loan facilities (or revolving facilities to replace such term loan facilities);

(iii) there will be no Guarantor in respect of any Incremental Facility that is not a Loan Party (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be established with a single Borrower as selected by Parent);

(iv) any Incremental Term Loans that are secured will not be secured by any assets not securing the Revolving Facility Loans and the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility;

(v) if such Incremental Facility is established for a purpose other than financing a Permitted Business Acquisition or other Investment permitted by this Agreement for which an LCT Election has been made by Parent, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would immediately occur after giving effect to such Incremental Facility (or, in the case of an Incremental Amendment involving Incremental Term Loans to be entered into in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction the purpose of which is to finance a Permitted Business Acquisition or other similar permitted Investment and, subject to Section 1.08, for which an LCT Election has been elected by Parent, to the extent agreed to by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, (x) on the date of execution of the definitive acquisition agreement or other similar definitive agreement in connection therewith, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (y) on the date of any funding of any Commitment in respect of Incremental Term Loans therefor, no Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), (c), (h)or (i)shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom);

(vi) any such Incremental Term Loans will be entitled to benefit from the same Guarantees and be secured on a pari passu or junior basis by the same Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility (subject, in the case of any Incremental Facility established pursuant to documentation separate from this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility, to a Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and, in the case of any Incremental Facility secured on a junior basis with the Revolving Credit Facility, to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement);

91

(vii) the final maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided, that this clause (vii) shall not apply to any Customary Bridge Loans or Inside Maturity Date Debt;

(viii) the terms of the Incremental Term Loans (other than with respect to currency, interest rate and benchmark replacement terms, pricing, margins, floors, maturity, amortization, voluntary prepayment provisions, mandatory prepayment or redemption provisions, pro rata sharing provisions, call protection and/or fees or as otherwise contemplated by any of clauses above) shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative Agent to the extent that such terms are more favorable, in any material respect, to the Incremental Term Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans than the terms set forth in the Loan Documents; provided that any terms (x) that are added in the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) that are only applicable to periods after the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date existing at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, in each case, shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(ix) any Incremental Facility that is not secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility shall be established pursuant to documentation separate from this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being understood that any Incremental Facility shall not be considered to not be secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility because it has a different priority in payments under a cash waterfall or in application of proceeds of the Collateral or in enforcement).

Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, if such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment is established for a purpose other than financing any Permitted Business Acquisition or any other acquisition or similar Investment that is permitted by this Agreement for which an LCT Election has been made by Parent, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Amendment and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 (or such other form as reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, that with respect to any incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment to be entered into in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction the purpose of which is to finance a Permitted Business Acquisition or other similar permitted Investment and, subject to Section 1.08, for which an LCT Election has been elected by Parent, any certification with respect to the representations and warranties in Article III may be limited to only customary “specified representations” (as may be agreed with the Incremental Term Lender(s) providing such Incremental Term Loans), which shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifiers), and (B) such additional customary documents and filings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment, junior to) one or more Classes of then-existing Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans.

92

(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans of a different Class), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and (ii) all Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c)(which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (f) through (j) of this Section 2.21), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders of any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension or modification are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrowers and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment for such Lender if such Lender is extending an existing Revolving Facility Commitment (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment” and any Revolving Facility Loans made thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”). Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrowers propose that the Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective, which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

(g) The Borrowers and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Incremental Amendment shall set forth the terms of the applicable Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, participation in mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and final maturity (which shall be determined by Parent and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments or (y) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in respect of any other terms that would affect the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank, such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, (v) any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) than existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments in any voluntary prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder. If provided in any Incremental Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments, and (x) with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit and (y) with the consent of the Swingline Lenders, participations in Swingline Loans, in each case, shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Incremental Amendment, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.

93

(h) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby, (v) all Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations relating to an existing Class of Revolving Facility Loans of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (vi) no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto and (vii) there shall be no obligor in respect of any such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments that is not a Loan Party.

(j) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the Borrowers shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

(k) [Reserved].

(l) [Reserved].

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c)(which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (m) through (p) of this Section 2.21), the Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional Facilities providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Facilities” and the commitments thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that: (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Amendment governing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Facility Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence for the Revolving Facility Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms and purpose which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swingline commitment under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the Borrowers, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank and replacement swingline lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to Parent and its Subsidiaries than, the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by Parent in good faith; and (v) there shall be no Guarantor in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility that is not a Loan Party. Solely to the extent that an Issuing Bank is not a replacement issuing bank under a Replacement Revolving Facility; it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any letters of credit under such Replacement Revolving Facility and, to the extent it is necessary for such Issuing Bank to withdraw as an Issuing Bank at the time of the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Bank in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal.

94

(n) The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be a permitted Assignee of a Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.

(o) On any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each of the Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class shall purchase from each of the other Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class then outstanding on such Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class will be held by the Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments.

(p) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment, such Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (k) or (m) above, as applicable, and (iv) all Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

95

(q) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of outstanding Term SOFR Borrowings upon the incurrence of any Incremental Loans, to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Term SOFR Borrowings under the Term Facilities or the Revolving Facilities fall on the same day, such Term SOFR Borrowings shall be considered a single Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any Term SOFR Borrowing of Incremental Loans may, at Parent’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one month, and the Term SOFR with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Term SOFR applicable to any then-outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing as Parent may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing.

(r) This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions of Sections 2.18(c)and 9.08 to the contrary.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. 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) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Facility Lenders”.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j)), fourth, as Parent may request (so long as no Default or Event of 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, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Parent, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j), sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to 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 eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letters of Credit 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 7.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letters of Credit issued by, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, and Letters of Credit issued by, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

96

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.

(C) With respect to any Commitment Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

97

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent (x)first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y)second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Parent and the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), 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 the Borrowers while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein (including this Section 3.16) or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Borrower or any other Loan Party makes any representation or warranty as to the effects of perfection or non-perfection, the priority or the enforceability of any pledge of or security interest in any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary, or as to the rights and remedies of the Agents or any Lender with respect thereto, under foreign law.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, (A) Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in Section 6.01(a) through Section 6.01(kk) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the clauses set forth in the definition of “Incremental Amount”) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in Section 6.01(a) through Section 6.01(kk) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the clauses set forth in the definition of “Incremental Amount”), Parent may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 6.01 and at the time of incurrence, division, classification or reclassification will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in one of the above clauses (or any portion thereof) and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) that may be incurred, divided, classified or reclassified pursuant to any other clause (or any portion thereof) at such time; provided, that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date under this Agreement shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 6.01.

This Agreement will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

With respect to any Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(g)(i) (to the extent specified therein), 6.01(p), 6.01(q) or 6.01(r), other than Customary Bridge Loans or Inside Maturity Date Debt, the final maturity date shall be no earlier than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

Section 7.03 Right to Cure.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that Parent fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.03, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Covenant, from the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter until the expiration of the 10th Business Day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating such Financial Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(b), Parent and any Parent Entity shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of such entities, and in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of Parent (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Parent of such cash (the “Cure Amount”), pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right, the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; provided, that (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which a Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) a Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times during the term of the Revolving Facility, (iii) for purposes of this Section 7.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenant and (iv) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of the exercise of the Cure Right for determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Cure Right is exercised (either directly through prepayment or indirectly as a result of the netting of unrestricted cash). If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 7.03, Parent shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant, Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.

Article VIII
The Agents

(a) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements), each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Bank (or other Secured Party), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Except as provided in Sections 8.09 and 8.11, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Related Parties, and neither Parent nor any Subsidiary shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

146

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements), each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and, by accepting the benefit of this Agreement, each non-Lender Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement and each non-Lender Cash Management Bank party to a Secured Cash Management Agreement, hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 (or the Intercreditor Agreement) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) as though the Collateral Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Secured Parties, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, subagents (including a subagent which is a non-U.S. Affiliate), employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent may also from time to time, when it deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents (including a subagent which is a non-U.S. Affiliate) or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Should any instrument in writing from a Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by an Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, employees, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such subagent 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 VIII shall apply to any such subagent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such subagent, 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 and Collateral Agent. Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall limit any of the rights provided to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent and to their respective Related Parties.

147

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s (x) material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b) No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

148

(h) The permissive rights of the Collateral Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Collateral Agent shall not be answerable for other than (x) its gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) a material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case, as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

149

(l) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, the Security Documents, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral.

(m) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of any Loan Party, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party. The Collateral Agent may assume performance by all such Persons of their respective obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have no enforcement or notification obligations relating to breaches of representations or warranties of any other Person.

(n) In the event that any part of the Collateral shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Collateral, the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agents.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any legal order, notice, request, certificate, opinion, consent, statement, instrument, document, judgment, order or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each 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 any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Parent or 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. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. Each Lender or Issuing Bank that has signed this Agreement or a signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it is to become a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder shall be deemed to have consented to, approved and accepted and shall deemed satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved or accepted by such Lender or Issuing Bank or that is to be acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 8.05 Notice of Default.

Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Parent or any of the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary pursuant to the terms of the Loan); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

151

Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents, the Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties or attorneys-in-fact have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act taken or failed to be taken by any Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Parent or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party as to any matter, including whether any Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Agents and the Arrangers that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (b) in the case of any Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring, purchasing or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring, purchasing and/or holding the commercial loans set forth herein as may be applicable to it, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of Parent and its subsidiaries, or for the purpose of making, acquiring, purchasing or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security, (c) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire, purchase or hold the commercial loans applicable to it and either it or the person exercising discretion in making its decisions to make, acquire, purchase or hold such commercial loans is experienced in making, acquiring, purchasing or holding commercial loans, (d) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender, any other Issuing Bank or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and appraisal of, and investigations into, the business, prospects, operations, property, assets, liabilities, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Parent and its Affiliates, all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (e) it has made its own independent decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties (A) continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate and its own independent investigations and (B) continue to make such investigations and inquiries as it deems necessary to inform itself as to Parent, the other Borrowers and their respective subsidiaries and (ii) it will not assert any claim under any federal or state securities law or otherwise in contravention of this Section 8.06.

Section 8.07 Indemnification.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent, in its capacity as an Agent, in the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share (based on such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Facility Credit Exposures and unused Commitments (determined at the time such indemnity is sought)) and each Revolving Facility Lender agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, in each case, in its capacity as such, in the amount of such Revolving Facility Lender’s pro rata share (based on such Revolving Facility Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and unused Revolving Facility Commitments (determined at the time such indemnity is sought)), in each case, to the extent not reimbursed by Parent or the other Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Parent or the other Borrowers to do so, from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the Termination Date) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Facilities, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent, Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the Termination Date.

152

Section 8.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, capital markets or other business with Parent or any of its Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or to provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.09 Successor Agents.

Any Agent may resign as Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and Parent. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Parent shall have the right, subject to the reasonable consent of the Required Lenders (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Required Lenders shall have the right), to appoint a successor 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, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Parent (or the Required Lenders) appoints a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any resignation by the Collateral Agent shall also be subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

In addition, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties authorize the Collateral Agent to make such changes to the Security Documents and/or provide such consents with respect to the Security Documents as are required as part of any Permitted Reorganizations including, but not limited to, allowing for the issuance of additional Equity Interests under a pledge agreement.

(b) The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Collateral Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify (i) any Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, any Security Document in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness that is to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is not prohibited (including with respect to priority) under this Agreement. The Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that (x) the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent as to whether any such other Liens are not prohibited and (y) any Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each Lender and each of the other Secured Parties hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph are intended as an inducement to any provider of any Indebtedness not prohibited by Section 6.01 hereof to extend credit to the Loan Parties and such persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions.

(c) Furthermore, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (c), (i), (j) or (mm) of Section 6.02 or Section 6.02(a) (if the Liens thereunder are of a type that is contemplated by any of the foregoing clauses) in each case to the extent the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Liens on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall do so upon request of Parent; provided, that prior to any such request, Parent shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent certifying (x) that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement, (y) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, that the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Lien on such property and (z) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence, that (A) such property is or has become Excluded Property and (B) if such property has become Excluded Property as a result of a contractual restriction, such restriction does not violate Section 6.09(c).

154

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to subordinate or release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.11.

Section 8.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantees.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, administration, examinership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any 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, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, monitor, examiner, administrative receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such payment Recipient shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment, (a “Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or a portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

157

(c) The parties hereto agree that (i) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by a Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.16 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of a Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(d) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(e) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(A) Parent, which consent with respect to the assignment of Incremental Term Loans will be deemed to have been given if Parent has not given its decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any request for such consent; provided that no consent of Parent shall be required for an assignment of (x) an Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or (y) a Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan to a Revolving Facility Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Facility Lender or Approved Fund with respect to a Revolving Facility Lender, or, in each case, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person, provided that, that no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Commitments or Loans under this Agreement to a Defaulting Lender or an Ineligible Institution (to the extent that the list of Ineligible Institutions has been provided to such Lender); and

160

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of an Incremental Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower made in accordance with Section 9.04(i); and

(B) the parties to each assignment shall (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (2) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, in each case together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the discretion of the Administrative Agent);

(C) [reserved];

(D) the Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Assignee or potential Assignee is an Ineligible Institution or Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to such Person.

161

For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” shall mean 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) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (A) any Ineligible Institution, (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), or (C) a natural person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is an Ineligible Institution and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to an Ineligible Institution. Any assigning Lender shall, in connection with any potential assignment, provide to Parent a copy of its request (including the name of the prospective assignee) concurrently with its delivery of the same request to the Administrative Agent irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 clause (c) of this Section 9.04 (except to the extent such participation is not permitted by such clause (c) of this Section 9.04, in which case such assignment or transfer shall be null and void).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Parent and the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Parent and the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided, that no Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to, or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04, if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (v).

162

(c) [Reserved].

(d)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent or the other Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations in Loans and Commitments to one or more banks or other entities other than (I) any Ineligible Institution (to the extent that the list of Ineligible Institutions has been made available to all Lenders), (II) 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 (III) 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 (III) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Parent, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that both (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly adversely affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (d) (iii) of this Section 9.04, Parent and the other Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections including Section 2.17(e) and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04 (it being agreed that any documentation required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.17(e) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Participant or potential Participant is an Ineligible Institution and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any participation made to an Ineligible Institution.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Parent and the other Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Without limitation of the requirements of this Section 9.04(d), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Loan Obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Loan Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any successor or amended version) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or is otherwise required by Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

163

(iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that the entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (e) above.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender. Each of Parent, each of the other Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(h) If the Borrowers wish to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (plus any applicable premium) (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.05(b). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Assumption attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (h) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

164

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (i) or (j) of this Section 9.04), any of Parent or its Subsidiaries, including the Borrowers, may purchase by way of assignment and become an Assignee with respect to Incremental Term Loans at any time and from time to time from Lenders in accordance with Section 9.04(b) hereof (each, a “Permitted Loan Purchase”); provided, that, in respect of any Permitted Loan Purchase, (A) no Permitted Loan Purchase shall be made from the proceeds of any extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility, (B) upon consummation of any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Loans purchased pursuant thereto shall be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and extinguished in accordance with Section 9.04(j), (C) in connection with any such Permitted Loan Purchase, any of Parent or its Subsidiaries, including the Borrowers, and such Lender that is the assignor (an “Assignor”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Assumption (and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) shall make the representations and warranties set forth in the Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Assumption and (y) shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to assignments under this Section 9.04; provided that (1) no consent of Parent or the Administrative Agent shall be required for any such assignment and (2) Parent or such Subsidiary shall not be required to deliver an Administrative Questionnaire or any tax documentation required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17) and (D) no Default or Event of Default would exist immediately after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to such Permitted Loan Purchase.

(j) Each Permitted Loan Purchase shall, for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Incremental Term Loans and Parent shall, upon consummation of any Permitted Loan Purchase, notify the Administrative Agent that the Register be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans.

(k) 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 Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage; provided that 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.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and members of each of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the allocated costs of in-house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single external local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs Parent of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Parent or any of the Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case, relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws by Parent or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of or exposure to Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary; 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 final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) arose from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), provided, that this subclause (y) shall not apply to the Collateral Agent or any of their Related Parties or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of Parent or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Arranger in its capacity as such). None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and members shall be responsible or liable to Parent, any of the other Borrowers or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other Person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

166

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amount paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17 and, to the extent set forth therein, Section 2.15.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Parent, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries shall assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Parent, any of the other Borrowers or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Parent or any of the other Borrowers or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff, provided that any failure to provide or any delay in providing such statement shall not affect the validity of any such set off or application under this Section 9.06. Each Lender that exercises such right of set-off shall give prompt notice to Parent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.

Section 9.07 Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Parent, any of the other Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Parent, any of the other Borrowers or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except as provided in Section 2.21, (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, (A) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 6.11 (or any Default or Event of Default in respect thereof) the Required Revolving Facility Lenders voting as a single Class, rather than the Required Lenders or (B) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 4.01 after the Closing Date, the Required Revolving Facility Lenders voting as a single Class, rather than the Required Lenders), and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party that are party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders and (z) as set forth in the definition of GAAP; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

168

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date (except as provided in Section 2.05(c)), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided that any amendment to the financial definitions in this Agreement or any waiver of (or any waiver of any amount required to be paid on account of) any inaccuracy in any calculation of any financial ratio set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, or decrease the Commitment Fees, L/C Participation Fees or any other Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing (but in the case of an increase, only if such increase is otherwise permitted under this Agreement) such consent of such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that (x) waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, representations and warranties, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default, mandatory prepayments or mandatory reductions in the Commitments of any Class shall not constitute an increase or extension of any Commitments or a decrease of the Commitment Fees, L/C Participation Fees or any other Fees of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii) and (y) any amendment to the financial definitions in this Agreement or any waiver of (or any waiver of any amount required to be paid on account of) any inaccuracy in any calculation of any financial ratio set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute decrease of the Commitment Fees, L/C Participation Fees or any other Fees of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii),

(iii) extend or waive any scheduled amortization payment of any Term Loan due on any Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan Installment Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18 or Section 7.02 with respect to the pro rata application of payments required thereby in a manner that by its terms modifies the application of such payments required thereby to be on a less than pro rata basis, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(v) amend or modify (A) the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “Required Revolving Facility Lenders,” or any other provision hereof or any other Loan Document, in each case, to reduce the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend, modify any rights hereunder or thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, provided that, in the case of any provision of this Section 9.08 or any such other provision that by its express terms only relates to Lenders of a particular Class, any change to such provision to reduce the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, shall require the prior written consent of each Lender of such Class (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with such change) or (B) the definition of Required Revolving Facility Lenders without the prior written consent of each Revolving Facility Lender (it being understood that neither the prior written consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any amendment to or modification of the definition of Required Revolving Facility Lenders), except, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), as otherwise provided in this Section 9.08,

169

(vi) release Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents on all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees by Parent, the other Borrowers or the Subsidiary Loan Parties, unless, in each case to the extent sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender other than a Defaulting Lender,

(vii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or Collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise provided in Section 9.08(d) and (e) (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed),

(viii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that subordinates (i) the Liens securing the Loan Obligations on all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral to the Liens securing any other Indebtedness (except for any Liens that are permitted by this Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date to be prior to the Liens securing the Loan Obligations) or (ii) the Loan Obligations in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness (such other Indebtedness, “Senior Indebtedness”); in each case unless each Lender adversely affected thereby has been offered a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on the proportion of such adversely affected Loan Obligations held by such adversely affected Lender) of the Senior Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees, any arrangement or restructuring fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction (collectively, the “Ancillary Fees”)) as offered to all other providers of the Senior Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) and to the extent such adversely affected Lender decides to participate in the Senior Indebtedness, has received its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than Ancillary Fees) of the Senior Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Senior Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection with providing the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to a written offer made to such Lender describing the material terms of the arrangements pursuant to which the senior Indebtedness is to be provided, which offer shall remain open to such Lender for a period of not fewer than five (5) Business Days;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.

170

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

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.08, any waiver, amendment or modification of (x) Section 6.11 (or any financial definition (or any component thereof) solely as used in such Section), or any Default or Event of Default in respect thereof, or (y) Section 4.01 (solely as it relates to the Revolving Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit), may be effected with (and may not be effected without) the prior written consent of the Required Revolving Facility Lenders (in the case of this clause (y), subject to the rights of the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks under the final proviso of this Section 9.08(b)).

(c) Without the consent of any Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument,

(i) to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to include holders of Other First Liens in the benefit of the Security Documents in connection with the incurrence of any Other First Lien Debt, or as required by local law (or with the advice of local counsel) to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document;

(ii) as contemplated by Section 6.10;

(iii) to cause any Loan Document (other than this Agreement) to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or

(iv) to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in a manner consistent with Section 2.21, including, with respect to Other Revolving Loans or Other Term Loans, as may be necessary to establish such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Facility Commitments as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (including to add syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes and references related thereto), as applicable, and to reduce the amortization schedule of the related existing Class of Incremental Term Loans proportionately, to integrate any Other First Lien Debt, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Parent and the other Borrowers (a) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including the Required Lenders and the Required Revolving Facility Lenders.

171

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents (including to effect changes to the terms and conditions applicable solely to the Swingline Lenders or Issuing Banks in respect of issuances of Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, respectively) may be made with the consent of Parent and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and Parent) and, provided that any such technical and conforming modifications shall be deemed approved by the Required Lenders if Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such amendment and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 that will be included in an existing Class of Incremental Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Incremental Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Incremental Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing. The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Parent and (i) with respect to the provisions of Section 4.01, solely as they relate to the Revolving Facility Loans and Letters of Credit, the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, and (ii) with respect to the provisions of Section 6.11 (or Article VII or any other provision incorporating such Section 6.11 with respect to the effects thereof), the Required Revolving Facility Lenders voting as a single Class.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified with the written consent of Parent, the Administrative Agent, each applicable Swingline Lender or each applicable Issuing Bank with respect to any amendment or waiver solely affecting the rights or obligations of such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, including the appointment of any additional Swingline Lender (and the establishment of its Swingline Commitment hereunder).

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) any redesignation or transfer of all or any part of a Commitment and/or a participation in any Loan from an existing tranche or Facility to another existing tranche or Facility and/or to a new tranche or Facility established as an Incremental Term Facility, Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Facility or pursuant to any other term of any of the Loan Documents (or any other similar or equivalent transaction) may be approved with the consent of the Lender(s) holding that Commitment and/or, as the case may be, participation (or part thereof) and Parent (without any requirement for any consent or approval from any other person) and in such cases, this Agreement may be amended, with the written consent of each such affected Lender, Incremental Revolving Facility Lender or the Incremental Term Lender, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Parent,

172

(ii) no consent of any Lender, any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender is required to effect any amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or intercreditor arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding the holders of any Indebtedness as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or such intercreditor arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole),

(iii) a Lender, an Agent, an Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and/or any Secured Party may unilaterally waive, relinquish or otherwise irrevocably give up all or any of its individual rights under any Loan Document with the consent of Parent,

(iv) without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion) amend, supplement and/or waive any Collateral Document to (x) comply with any Applicable Law or the advice of counsel and/or (y) cause such Collateral Document to be consistent with this Agreement and/or the relevant other Loan Documents,

(v) the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may amend, restate, amend and restate or otherwise modify any Intercreditor Agreement as provided in Section 8.11, and

(vi) without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, Parent and the Administrative Agent may, in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 2.21, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Parent and the Administrative Agent, to add terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default) that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, it being understood that (x) where applicable, any such amendment may be effected as part of the applicable Incremental Amendment and (y) any Incremental Amendment also may provide for amendments or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in addition to those referred to in Section 2.21, as the case may be (any such additional amendment or modification, an “Additional Amendment”); provided that no Additional Amendment shall become effective prior to the time that such Additional Amendment shall have been consented to (including pursuant to consents set forth in any Incremental Amendment) by such of the Lenders and other persons (if any) as may be required in order for such Additional Amendment to become effective in accordance with this Section 9.08.

(k) In connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders, the majority in interest of any Class or any other requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to this Agreement or any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to, or under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender (other than an Excluded Lender) that, as a result of its interest (or its and its Covered Affiliates’ collective interests) in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to any of the Loans or Commitments (each such Lender, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. In connection with any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Lender (other than any Excluded Lender) will be deemed to have represented to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it does not constitute a Net Short Lender, in each case, unless such Lender shall have notified the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent prior to the requested response date with respect to such waiver, amendment or modification that it constitutes a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). For purposes of this clause (l):

173

(i) “Covered Affiliate” means any Affiliate of a Lender (provided that for this purpose, Affiliates shall not include Persons that are subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Lender and such Person if such Person has independent fiduciary duties to investors or other equityholders of such Person and such investors or equityholders are not the same as the investors or equityholders of such Lender).

The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means or another similar electronic system and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Parent or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).

(a) The Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral and guarantees provided by the Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement shall be automatically released: (i) in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as set forth Section 9.18(c) below; (ii) in the case of Liens, upon the Disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any disposal consisting of an operating lease or license, the underlying property retained by such Loan Party will not be so released, (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iv) if the release of such Lien or Guarantee is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (vi) as provided in Section 8.11 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (vii) in the case of a Guarantee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and (viii) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely as a result of becoming a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Guarantor, the release of such Subsidiary from its Guaranty shall only be permitted if (1) at the time such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary, the primary purpose of such transaction was not to evade the Guaranty required pursuant to the Loan Documents, (2) the transaction by which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary was consummated on an arms’ length basis with an unaffiliated third-party or (3) after giving effect to the transaction, the Subsidiary Guarantor being released from its Guaranty is no longer a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent.

179

(b) Upon the request of Parent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall, execute and deliver any required guarantee or security release and/or amendment of the Security Documents, in each case, to the extent reasonably required by Parent (and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to comply with the provisions of the Security Documents .

(c) The Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18 and to return to Parent or the other Borrowers all possessory collateral (including share certificates (if any)) held by it in respect of any Collateral so released, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or any other Secured Party. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent and at Parent’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request and any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral and all obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties under any Loan Documents (other than such obligations that expressly survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof) shall, in each case, be automatically released and, upon request of Parent, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to evidence the release its security interest in all Collateral (including returning to Parent or the Borrowers all possessory collateral (including all share certificates (if any)) held by it in respect of any Collateral), and to evidence the release of all obligations under any Loan Document (other than such obligations that expressly survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof), whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (ii) any contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Parent containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded, avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrowers or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and their respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interest in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d).

180

(e) Subject to the terms of any Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, Obligations of Parent or the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantees effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements.

Section 9.19 Judgment Currency.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan 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. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any 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 of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent 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 from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent 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 in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that each Borrower shall be a co-borrower with respect to all Loans and other Obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all such Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the benefit thereof or the manner in which they account for such Loans and Obligations on their books and records. Upon the commencement and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Agents and the applicable Lenders may (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower, or all of them, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of, such Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other person, or any security or collateral for such Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of such Obligations.

183

(b) From time to time, and with ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) (the “Joinder Date”), Parent may cause one or more additional direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) organized or incorporated under the laws of any state of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction approved by all of the Lenders (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Defaulting Lender) with a Commitment under the Facilities in respect of which it will become a Borrower, to become a Borrower hereunder by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent in respect of each applicable Subsidiary, the following: (i) a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary, (ii) customary opinions and certificates as may be requested by the Administrative Agent, (iii) Notes (or replacement Notes as applicable) dated as of the applicable Joinder Date payable to each applicable Lender for which an existing Note is outstanding on such Joinder Date, (iv) a written confirmation by the Loan Parties that their guarantee obligations shall apply to the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Loan Documents from and after the Joinder Date, (v) all documentation and information as is reasonably requested by the Lenders, prior to the Joinder Date, as required under “know your customer” rules and regulations and (vi) such other approvals or documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that (x) no Subsidiary may become a Borrower hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.25 if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Joinder Date, or shall result from the joinder of such Subsidiary as a Borrower on such Joinder Date; provided further that if, following receipt of “know your customer” information, any Lender concludes that the relevant Subsidiary constitutes a ‘relevant financial institution’ for the purposes of Article 2 of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Excluded Activities and Prohibitions) Order 2014, all the Lenders approve the addition of that Subsidiary.

(c) Once a Person has become a Borrower, it (i) shall be a “Borrower” in respect of the applicable Class and will have the right to request Revolving Facility Loans or Letters of Credit of such Class, as the case may be, in accordance with Article II hereof until the earlier to occur of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which such Borrower resigns as a Borrower in accordance with Section 9.25(d) and (ii) shall be deemed a Borrower for all purposes of Article II of this Agreement with respect to Loans made to such Borrower, unless the context requires otherwise.

(d) A Borrower may elect to resign as a Borrower if all of the Obligations of such Borrower (in its capacity as such) have been paid in full or assigned to another Borrower pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (i) no Default or Event of Default is continuing or would result from the resignation of such Borrower; (ii) such resigning Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a notice of resignation; and (iii) where that Borrower is also a Guarantor (unless its Guarantee is being released in accordance with Section 9.18 or if resigning as a Guarantor as permitted under this Section 9.25), its obligations in its capacity as Guarantor continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect. Upon satisfaction of the requirements in subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this clause (d), the relevant Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower.

(e) Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and any Subsidiary that elects to become a party hereto as Guarantor of an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit I of the Guarantee Agreement (or another instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Parent), such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Loan Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Loan Party herein.

Section 9.26 Application of Gaming Laws.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to Gaming Laws. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Lenders, Agents and Secured Parties acknowledge that (i) they are subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing, qualification or findings of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the Collateral (including the pledge and delivery of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the applicable Security Documents)) and the ownership and operation of facilities, are, in each case, subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities, and may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the relevant Gaming Authorities.

184

(b) The Lenders, Agents and Secured Parties agree to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities in connection with the provision in a timely manner of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to the Loan or Loan Documents.

(c) The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if any Borrower or Loan Party receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any Lender is a Disqualified holder (and such Lender is notified by Parent or any Borrower in writing of such Disqualification), Parent or any Borrower shall, following any available appeal of such determination by such Disqualified holder to such Gaming Authority (unless (x) the rules of the applicable Gaming Authority do not permit such Lender to retain its Loans or Commitments pending appeal of such determination or (y) to permit such Lender to retain its Loans or Commitments pending appeal of such determination or such appeal by such Disqualified holder, in and of itself, would reasonably be expected to (1) have a Material Adverse Effect or (2) jeopardize Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses in such jurisdiction), have the right to (i) cause such Disqualified holder to transfer and assign, without recourse all of its interests, rights and obligations in its Loans and Commitments or (ii) in the event that (A) a Borrower is unable to assign such Loan or Commitments after using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such an assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay such Disqualified holder’s Loan and terminate such Disqualified holder’s Commitments, as applicable. Notice to such Disqualified holder shall be given ten days prior to the required date of assignment or prepayment, as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or prepayment is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. If reasonably requested by any Disqualified holder, Parent or any Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, at such holder’s expense, with any such holder that is seeking to appeal such determination and to afford such holder an opportunity to participate in any proceedings relating thereto; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action (including the commencement of, or participation in, any proceeding) to overturn, defend against or oppose any such determination by any such Gaming Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any prepayment of a Loan shall be at a price that, unless otherwise directed by a Gaming Authority, shall be equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Loan and interest to the date on which such Lender or holder became a Disqualified holder (plus any fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Disqualified holder to the date such Lender or holder became a Disqualified holder).

(d) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents, it shall become necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Lenders to become licensed or found qualified under any Gaming Law as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Agents, Secured Parties and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the Lenders hereby agree to apply for such license or qualification, and Parent hereby agrees to consent to the application of such party for such license or qualification and to execute such further documents as may be reasonably required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.

Section 9.27 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any hedge agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the 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 Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 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: and

(b) As used in this Section 9.27, 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).
