30 13625811v6 and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. (e) By agreeing to make Loans under this Agreement, each Lender is confirming it has all licenses, permits and approvals necessary for use of the reference rates referred to herein and it will do all things necessary to comply, preserve, renew and keep in full force and such licenses, permits and approvals. (f) No Event of Default or Potential Default, or breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other terms of this Agreement or a Related Document, will arise in respect of any monetary basket or threshold being exceeded merely as a result of a subsequent change in the Dollar Equivalent of an amount that has been converted into Dollars for the purpose of calculating such monetary basket or threshold which is due to fluctuations in the exchange rate since the date on which such amount was first converted into Dollars (and such Dollar Equivalent shall be calculated as at the date of the incurrence or making of the relevant disposal, acquisition, investment, lease, loan, debt or guarantee or taking of any other relevant action). Section 1.6 Additional Alternative Currencies. (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is an Eligible Currency. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Alternative Currency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Lender with a Commitment under which such currency is requested to be made available; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. (b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer thereof. Each applicable Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Alternative Currency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency. (c) Any failure by a Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Alternative Currency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Lenders reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the

31 13625811v6 Borrower and (i) the Administrative Agent and such Lenders may amend the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (ii) to the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Alternative Currency Loans. If the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and (i) the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may amend the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (ii) to the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency, for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.09, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower. Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only. Section 1.7 Change of Currency. (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that, if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in writing to the Borrower to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in writing to the Borrower to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency. Section 1.8 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

32 13625811v6 Section 1.9 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable). Section 1.10 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Alternative Currency Loans shall be made on the basis of a year as set forth on Schedule 1.10 for such Alternative Currency and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Term SOFR Loans shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.8(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Section 1.11 Illegality. (a) If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to a Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be, in each case, suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate 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 Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice by the Borrower, (A) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate 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 Base Rate), in each case, immediately, or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, and (B) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12.

33 13625811v6 Section 1.12 Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 1.12(b) or Section 1.12(c) and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 1.12(b) or of Section 1.12(c) or the Scheduled Relevant Rate Unavailability Date, or the Scheduled Term SOFR Unavailability Date, has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Loans or Interest Period(s) or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 1.12(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, in each case, to the extent of the affected Loans or Interest Periods or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) (A) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. (b) Replacement of Term SOFR or SOFR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Related Documents, if the Administrative Agent

34 13625811v6 determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined (which determination shall likewise be conclusive absent manifest error), that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the Applicable Authority or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR on a representative basis after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Term SOFR Unavailability Date”); then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Term SOFR Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Related Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Related Document (the “SOFR Successor Rate). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 1.12(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 1.12 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments, if any, to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “SOFR Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and

35 13625811v6 the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. (c) Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Related Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined (which determination shall likewise be conclusive absent manifest error), that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or SOFR) under this Agreement is available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars), or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or SOFR) for such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Relevant Rate Unavailability Date”); or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 1.12(c)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Relevant Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this Section 1.12 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments, if any, to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Relevant Rate”, and collectively with the SOFR Successor Rate, each a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. (d) Successor Rate. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent,

36 13625811v6 such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Related Documents. In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Related Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. For purposes of this Section 1.12, those Lenders that do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in the relevant Agreed Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders. ARTICLE TWO THE CREDITS Section 2.1 Loans. (a) Term Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a single loan to the Borrower, in Dollars, on the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Facility. The Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Term Facility. Term Borrowings repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as further provided herein. (b) Revolving Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies, from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate outstanding amount (together with the amount of any outstanding L/C Obligations hereunder) not to exceed at any time such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that (i) each Base Rate Loan shall be denominated in Dollars and (ii) after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loan, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans, prepay under Section 2.4, and reborrow under this Section 2.1(b). Section 2.2 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans and each continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request, as applicable; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request, as applicable. Each

37 13625811v6 such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of a Term SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of an Alternative Currency Loan or continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan and (iii) on the requested date of any borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan. (b) Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan and each Borrowing of, conversion or continuation of an Alternative Currency Loan shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.3(c), each borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in connection with any conversion or continuation of a Term Loan, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request shall specify (i) the applicable Facility and whether the Borrower is requesting the making of a Loan, a conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Loan, as the case may be, under such Facility, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of the Loan to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loan to be borrowed or to which an existing Loan is to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) if such Borrowing Request is for an Alternative Currency Loan, the currency of the Loan to be borrowed. If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Borrowing Request, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Request or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation in an Interest Election Request, then the applicable Loan shall be made as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan; provided that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Borrowing Request, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Rate Term Loan. If the Borrower requests the making of, conversion to, or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan in any such Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request, as applicable, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. No Alternative Currency Loan may be converted into or continued as an Alternative Currency Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. (c) Following receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount and currency of its Pro Rata Share under such Facility of the applicable Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 2:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the

38 13625811v6 Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. (d) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 3.1), the Administrative Agent shall make the requested Loans available to the Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America or (ii) wire transfer, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Borrowing Request with respect to a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above. (e) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, or converted to Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans or converted to or continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. (f) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. (g) After giving effect to all Term SOFR Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and all continuations of Term SOFR Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Facility. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. (i) With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate, Alternative Currency Term Rate, SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Related Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Related Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. Section 2.3 Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the end of the Availability Period to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or a

39 13625811v6 Subsidiary thereof, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the L/C Sublimit, and (y) no Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the date hereof shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. (ii) the L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than three (3) years after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the end of the Availability Period; (C) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable Law, rule, policy or guideline promulgated by any applicable Governmental Authority; (E) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; (F) such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $5,000; (G) if such Letter of Credit is to be a commercial letter of credit, the L/C Issuer has agreed to issue such commercial letter of credit;

40 13625811v6 (H) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than an Agreed Currency; (I) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or (J) unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. (iii) the L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (iv) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 7 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 7 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of an L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Application may be sent by fax transmission, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer not later than 3:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in writing on a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof (and in the absence of specification of currency, shall be deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars); (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the Letter of Credit and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case

41 13625811v6 of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require. (ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or UL, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.3(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or UL that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the

42 13625811v6 L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than noon on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or, if the L/C Issuer’s notice to the Borrower is provided after 10:00 a.m. on the date of such payment, then noon on the day immediately following the date of such payment (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.3(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (or, if such notice is not delivered by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice, such Lender shall make such amount so available not later than 1:00 p.m. on the immediately succeeding Business Day), whereupon, subject to the

43 13625811v6 provisions of Section 2.3(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender's Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.6, as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 8.9 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.3. (iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.3(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c) by the time specified in Section 2.3(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate

44 13625811v6 of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.3(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 8.22 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued for its account (or its Subsidiary’s account) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Related Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by the L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower; (v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

45 13625811v6 (vi) any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; (vii) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, judicial manager, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (viii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents and the Lenders unless such notice is given within five (5) days of issuance of the Letter of Credit; provided that reimbursement by the Borrower of a drawing under such Letter of Credit shall not relieve the L/C Issuer of any liability resulting from the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (f) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit issued for its account (or its Subsidiary’s account); provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.3(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves in a final non-appealable court judgment were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross

46 13625811v6 negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. (g) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required under any Law, order, or practice that is required to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice. (h) L/C Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.15, with their respective Pro Rata Shares an L/C fee (the “L/C Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued for its account (or its Subsidiary’s account) equal to 1.25% per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.8. L/C Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing, Charges. The Borrower shall pay the L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for its account (or its Subsidiary’s account) equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, and (ii) with respect to any amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment. In addition, the Borrower shall pay the L/C Issuer the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such individual customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

47 13625811v6 (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control. (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, both such Subsidiary and the Borrower that is the parent of such Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. Section 2.4 Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to the last sentence hereof); provided that (i) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans, (B) four (4) Business Days (or five (5), in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Alternative Currency Loans, and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Rate Term Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof in direct order of maturity. Subject to Section 2.15, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in respect of each of the relevant Facilities. (b) If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. (c) If at any time the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately prepay an amount equal to such excess. (d) Any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan and any Alternative Currency Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12. (e) All prepayments of Loans by the Borrower shall be applied so that each Lender continues to have a ratable portion (according to its applicable Pro Rata Share) of the outstanding Loans. Section 2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, terminate the Revolving Commitments, or from time to time

48 13625811v6 permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment to an amount not less than the Total Revolving Outstandings; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) shall reduce the amounts of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the L/C Sublimit exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the L/C Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Section 2.6 Commitment Increases; Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may from time to time, but not more than once during any calendar quarter, by means of a letter delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders substantially in the form of Exhibit F, request an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”) and/or the addition of one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Facility”; each Incremental Term Facility and each Incremental Revolving Increase are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) to this Agreement at the option of the Borrower by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Person (including any existing Lender) that agrees to provide a portion of such Incremental Facility (each an “Incremental Facility Amendment”); provided that: (i) the sum of the cumulative aggregate original principal amount of all Incremental Facilities established under this Section 2.6 shall not exceed, at the time any such Incremental Facility is established (and giving effect thereto) $625,000,000; provided that in no event shall the sum of the aggregate original principal amount of all Incremental Term Facilities exceed $400,000,000; (ii) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result therefrom, both on the date on which such Incremental Facility is requested and on the date on which such Incremental Facility is to become effective; (iii) each Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as the Administrative Agent may agree); (iv) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any Incremental Facility Commitment and any such decision whether to provide an Incremental Facility Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; (v) each Person providing any Incremental Facility Commitment shall be an institution selected by the Borrower that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such institution providing an Incremental Revolving Increase, the L/C Issuer; (vi) each Incremental Facility shall be effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) additional commitments in respect of such requested Incremental Facility (each an “Incremental Facility Commitment”) from either existing Lenders and/or one or more other institutions that qualify as Eligible Assignees and (B) documentation from each Person providing an Incremental Facility Commitment evidencing its Incremental Facility Commitment and its obligations under this Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

49 13625811v6 (vii) the Administrative Agent shall have received: (A) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the effective date of such Incremental Facility signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching resolutions adopted by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such Loan Party approving such Incremental Facility, and (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article Four or any other Related Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such Incremental Facility, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects as drafted) as of such earlier date, and (y) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists; (B) customary opinions of legal counsel to the Loan Parties, addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each Person providing an Incremental Facility Commitment), dated as of the effective date of such Incremental Facility; and (C) such other documents and certificates it may reasonably request relating to the necessary authority for such Incremental Facility and the validity of such Incremental Facility, and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (viii) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase: (A) the terms and conditions (including interest rate, interest rate margins, fees (other than arrangement, structuring, underwriting and similar fees not paid generally to all Lenders under such Incremental Revolving Increase), prepayment terms and final maturity) of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be the same as the terms applicable to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder; (B) Schedule 2 shall be deemed revised to include any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6 and to include thereon any Person that becomes a Lender with a Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.6; and (C) on the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Increase, the existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall make such assignments (which assignments shall not be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 8.9(b)) of the outstanding Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit to the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Increase, and the Administrative Agent may make such adjustments to the Register as are necessary, so that after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Increase and such assignments and adjustments, each Revolving Lender (including the Lenders

50 13625811v6 providing such Incremental Revolving Increase) will hold its Pro Rata Share of outstanding Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit; and (ix) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility: (A) the interest rate, interest rate floors, interest rate margins, fees, discount, prepayment premiums, mandatory prepayments, amortization and final maturity date for such Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided that: (1) the final maturity of such Incremental Term Facility shall not be earlier than the later of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the final maturity of any other Incremental Term Facility; (2) the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Facility shall not be less than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans or any other Incremental Term Facility (in each case, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with customary financial practice); and (3) unless approved by the Administrative Agent, such Incremental Term Facility is on terms and conditions that are not materially more restrictive than the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Commitments, the Term Loans and any other Incremental Term Facility hereunder; (B) the proceeds of such Incremental Term Facility shall be used for the purposes described in the definitive documentation for such Incremental Term Facility; (C) Schedule 2 shall be deemed revised to add the commitments and commitment percentages of the Lenders providing the Incremental Term Facility; and (D) such Incremental Term Facility shall share ratably in any prepayments of the Term Loans and any other Incremental Term Facilities pursuant to this Agreement (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for the Term Loans and any then outstanding other Incremental Term Facilities) and shall have ratable voting rights with the Term Loans and any other Incremental Term Facilities (or otherwise provide for more favorable voting rights for the Term Loans and any then outstanding other Incremental Term Facilities). (x) The Incremental Facility Commitments and credit extensions thereunder shall constitute Commitments and Credit Extensions under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees provided with respect to the Obligations. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into, and the Lenders agree that this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be amended by, such Incremental Facility Amendments to the extent the Administrative Agent and the Borrower deem necessary in order to establish Incremental Facilities on

51 13625811v6 terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.6 (including by adding provisions related to voluntary and mandatory prepayments of loans under the Incremental Term Facility as deemed appropriate by the parties to any Incremental Facility Amendment). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment. This Section 2.6 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.9 or 8.7 to the contrary. Section 2.7 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iv) each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate. (b) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. (i) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Related Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. (ii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. (iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Section 2.8 Payments Generally. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in Dollars (or, in the case of payments of principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of a payment in an Alternative Currency, not later than the Applicable Time) on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists, the

52 13625811v6 Administrative Agent may require (and shall require at the request of the Required Lenders) that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Related Documents shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. (b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with Section 2.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing so available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Base Rate Loans or in the case of Alternative Currencies in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (c) Payments by Borrower: Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise

53 13625811v6 erroneously made such payment; then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 2 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. (e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.5(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 8.5(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 8.5(b). (f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. Section 2.9 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: (a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than

54 13625811v6 an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). The 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the following dates in the respective amounts set forth opposite such dates (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.4), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 8.02; Payment Dates Principal Repayment Installments March 31, 2022 $0.00 June 30, 2022 $0.00 September 30, 2022 $0.00 December 31, 2022 $0.00 March 31, 2023 $0.00 June 30, 2023 $0.00 September 30, 2023 $0.00 December 31, 2023 $0.00 March 31, 2024 $0.00 June 30, 2024 $0.00 September 30, 2024 $0.00 December 31, 2024 $0.00 March 31, 2025 $12,500,000 June 30, 2025 $12,500,000 September 30, 2025 $12,500,000 December 31, 2025 $12,500,000 March 31, 2026 $12,500,000 June 30, 2026 $12,500,000 September 30, 2026 $12,500,000 December 31, 2026 $12,500,000 Maturity Date Outstanding Principal Balance of Term Loans provided, however, that (i) the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for the Term Facility and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, (ii) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower (other than principal repayment installments on Term SOFR Loans) shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be and (iii) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower on a Term SOFR Loan shall come due

55 13625811v6 on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such principal repayment installment into another calendar month, in which event such principal repayment installment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. (b) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Revolving Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date and all amounts due and owing under Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof and the Issuer Documents. (c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders resulting from each Loan made by the Lenders or Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (d) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto and the amount of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and all amounts due and payable related to any Letter of Credit issued hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Lenders hereunder. (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans or obligations under any Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Issuer Documents. Section 2.11 Fees. During the Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on a ratable basis a non-refundable commitment fee at the Applicable Fee Rate on the actual daily unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment during the applicable calculation period. Such commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the last day of the Availability Period and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December during the Availability Period and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Section 2.12 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period, the relevant interest payment date or payment period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than on the last day of the Interest Period, the relevant interest payment date or payment period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.28, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate any applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to a Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Relevant Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such

56 13625811v6 event to the last day of the then current Interest Period or payment period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period or payment period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market. A certificate of the applicable Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Section 2.13 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Bank Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit J (a “Bank Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Bank Note and endorse thereon the date, type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Section 2.14 Cash Collateral. (a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1, or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one (1) Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent, or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). (b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all

57 13625811v6 balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the Obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than any right or claim described in clause (a) or (f) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. Each Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral. (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Section 2.3, 2.15 or 6.1 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 8.9(b))) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien (if any) conferred under the Related Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Related Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. Section 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that 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 definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 8.7. (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, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.4), 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

58 13625811v6 owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as Potential 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 the Borrower, 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 L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower 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; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(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 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C 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 pursuant to Section 2.15. (C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.11 or any L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower 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 L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C

59 13625811v6 Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 8.27, 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. (v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer 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 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 to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.15(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 Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and 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. Section 2.16 Designated Lenders. Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender at its option may make any Credit Extension or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Designated Lender shall be considered a Lender; provided that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, all provisions applicable to a Lender shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such Lender to the same extent as such Lender; provided that for the purposes only of voting in connection with any Related Document, any participation by any Designated Lender in any outstanding Credit Extension shall be deemed a participation of such Lender.

60 13625811v6 Section 2.17 Extension of Maturity Date. (a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable class of Lenders) not later than 30 days prior to the date of a proposed extension (each such date of such proposed extension, an “Extension Date”), request that each applicable Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Applicable Maturity Date”), to a date (the “Extended Maturity Date”) that is at least one year after the Applicable Maturity Date; provided that (i) not more than two such requests may be made during the term of this Credit Agreement and (ii) such extension shall not become effective before the date which is five years before the Maturity Date as so extended. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may request extensions of any class of Lenders without requesting an extension of any other class of Lenders. (b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender of the applicable class, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 10 days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender of the applicable class that determines to so extend its Applicable Maturity Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender of the applicable class that determines not to so extend its Applicable Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender of the applicable class that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Applicable Maturity Date. (c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each applicable Lender’s determination under this Section 2.17 no later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day) and (ii) the date that is 5 days following the applicable Lender Notice Date. (d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the Applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as a “Revolving Lender” or as a “Term Lender”, as the case may be, under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an Additional Commitment Lender assuming a new or additional Revolving Commitment, the L/C Issuer in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.18(b), each of which applicable Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.9, with the Borrower or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the Applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Revolving Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender of the applicable class, its Revolving Commitment and/or its outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, so assumed shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and its outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, hereunder on such date). The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are

61 13625811v6 reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders. (e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the applicable Revolving Commitments or the applicable outstanding Term Loans of the Lenders of the applicable class that have agreed to extend their Applicable Maturity Date and the new or increased Revolving Commitments or the applicable newly assumed outstanding Term Loans of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Applicable Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender of the applicable class shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Extended Maturity Date shall be the next preceding Business Day), and each Additional Commitment Lender of such class shall thereupon become a “Revolving Lender” and/or a “Term Lender”, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Revolving Lender and/or a Term Lender, as the case may be, hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Revolving Lender and/or a Term Lender, as the case may be, hereunder. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of any Applicable Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender unless (i) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto; and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement, and of each Loan Party in each of the other Related Documents to which it is a party, are true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date, as evidenced by delivery of a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower on the Extension Date. (g) Maturity Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Applicable Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender with respect to any class, (i) to the extent of the Revolving Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender of the relevant class not assigned to the Additional Commitment Lenders of such class, the Revolving Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender of such Class shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender of such class in accordance with Section 2.10 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations due and owing to it under this Agreement, including any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12) and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the applicable Revolving Exposures with respect to Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans of the applicable class ratable with any revised Pro Rata Share of the respective Lenders of such class effective as of such date (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement). (h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.8 or Section 8.9 to the contrary. Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

62 13625811v6 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b), or requires the Borrower to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 8.1(c), or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 1.11, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1(a), 8.1(b) or 8.1(c), as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 1.11, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b), or if the Borrower is required to pay any pay any Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 8.1(c), and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.18(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 8.28.

ARTICLE FOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Each of the Borrower and UL makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders: Section 4.1 Organization. Each Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is not required to be qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in any other jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions in which it is qualified or the failure to so qualify would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan

65 13625811v6 Party has the necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Documents, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to conduct its business as presently conducted. Section 4.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party are within its organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action (and no further approval, authorization or consents are required by law or otherwise) and do not contravene the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Loan Party. Section 4.3 Property. Each Loan Party is the owner of all Property material to its business, including its leasehold interests (except for defects in title as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Encumbrances. The easements, rights-of-way, liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, exceptions, minor defects, irregularities of title and encroachments onto adjoining real estate, if any, now existing with respect to any Property material to its business, including leasehold interests, of any Loan Party do not and will not materially adversely affect the value of such Property currently affected thereby, materially impair the same, or materially impair or materially interfere with the operation and usefulness thereof for the purpose for which it was acquired or is held by it. Section 4.4 Financial Statements. The audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower as at December 31, 2020, together with the notes thereto, which have previously been delivered to the Lenders, were prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower as of such date. Section 4.5 Margin Stock. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of Loans advanced hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock or extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. Section 4.6 Absence of Material Litigation. There is no pending action or proceeding for which service of process has been received or, to the best knowledge of the Responsible Officers of each Loan Party, threatened action or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator against or affecting it or any Subsidiary which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely, and, if determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, except for litigation disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the execution of this Agreement. Section 4.7 Consents or Approvals. No consent or approval of, or registration or declaration with, any international, Federal, state or other governmental commission, board, regulatory body or instrumentality is or was required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of this Agreement or the Related Documents to which it is a party, except such consents, approvals, registrations and declarations as shall have been duly obtained, given or accomplished prior to the execution and delivery hereof and thereof, all of which are in full force and effect. Section 4.8 ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (a) each Loan Party is in compliance with ERISA to the extent applicable to it and has received no notice to the contrary from the PBGC or any other Governmental Authority; (b) no Loan Party has any Unfunded Vested Liabilities; (c) no condition exists or event or transaction has occurred, with respect to any Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by any Loan Party of any liability, fine or penalty; and (d) no Loan Party has any contingent liability with respect to any post-

66 13625811v6 retirement benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation of coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or other applicable law. The Borrower represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments. For clarity, the Borrower makes no representation or warranty as to the source or nature of any assets used by any Lender in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments. Section 4.9 Environmental Laws. No Loan Party has received notice to the effect that its operations or those of its Subsidiaries are not in compliance with any of the requirements of applicable international, Federal, state or local Environmental Laws, health and safety statutes and regulations or are the subject of any governmental investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.10 Other Agreements. No Loan Party is in default under the terms of any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting such Loan Party or any of its Property, which default would have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.11 Defaults. No Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing. Section 4.12 Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in full compliance with any and all provisions of law or orders, writs, rules or regulations of any court or governmental agency or instrumentality (including ERISA and Environmental Laws), the noncompliance of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Related Documents is a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against each Loan Party thereto to the extent it is a party thereto in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement brought by proceedings at law or in equity). Section 4.15 Absence of Conflicts. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party, and the carrying out of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Related Documents, do not and will not (a) conflict with or constitute on its part a breach of, or a default under, (i) any existing law, any court or administrative regulation, decree or order binding on it or its Properties, other than any such conflict, breach or default that would not cause a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any material agreement, indenture, mortgage, lease or other instrument to which it is subject or by which it or any of its properties is bound or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement (other than as contemplated by or permitted under this Agreement or the Related Documents). Section 4.16 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes required to have been paid by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves.

67 13625811v6 Section 4.17 No Disclosure. No information, exhibit or report, in each case, to the extent furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in writing in connection with the negotiation of the Related Documents contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading under the circumstances under which made when taken as a whole; provided that projections, budgets and estimates are not to be viewed as fact, and actual results during the period covered thereby may differ from such projections, budgets and estimates and such differences may be material. Section 4.18 No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, there has not occurred any event, development or circumstance which has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.19 Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.19. Section 4.20 Investment Company Act.

As of the Effective Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects. Section 4.25 Covered Entities. No Loan Party is a Covered Entity. ARTICLE FIVE COVENANTS Until the Commitments and all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other amounts payable hereunder (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full, each of the Borrower and UL covenants and agrees that: Section 5.1 Corporate Existence, Etc.

68 13625811v6 or the conduct of its business or affairs requires such qualification, unless in the case of this clause (b) the failure to be so qualified would not cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Guaranteed Banking Services Agreements and Guaranteed Swap Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received a Guaranteed Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Banking Services Bank or Swap Bank, as the case may be (unless such Banking Services Bank or Swap Bank is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof). Each Banking Services Bank or Swap Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article Seven for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. ARTICLE SEVEN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Section 7.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Related Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “Administrative Agent” herein or in any other Related Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as. a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Section 7.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with

Section 7.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Related Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Related Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Related Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Related Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Related Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.5 and 6.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Potential Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Potential Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

80 13625811v6 Neither the Administrative Agent nor its Related Parties shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Section 7.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Related Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Section 7.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, 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. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by such Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that, in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution. Whether or not a

81 13625811v6 successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Related Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer under any of the Related Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 8.4(e) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Related Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Related Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.7 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Related Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. (d) Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as the L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as the L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.3(c). Upon the appointment of any successor L/C Issuer hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations

82 13625811v6 hereunder or under the other Related Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of such Person with respect to such Letters of Credit. Section 7.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any other Lender, or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other L/C Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Related Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or L/C Issuer hereunder. Section 7.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 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 Borrower) 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 the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective Administrative Agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.3(j) and (k), 2.7 and 8.5) 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 any custodian, receiver, judicial manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its Administrative Agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.8 and 8.5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to (a) authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Banking Services Bank or Swap Bank that obtains the benefit of Section 6.2 or the Guaranty by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Related Document shall have any right to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Related Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Seven to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Guaranteed Banking Services Agreements and Guaranteed Swap Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Guaranteed Party Designation Notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Banking Services Bank or Swap Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Guaranteed Banking Services Agreements and Guaranteed Swap Agreements in the case of the Maturity Date. Section 7.12 ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, MLPFS, and each other Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84- 14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in,

84 13625811v6 administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Related Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). Section 7.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by 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. Each Lender Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. ARTICLE EIGHT MISCELLANEOUS Section 8.1 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Taxes. (a) (a) If, after the date hereof, any Change in Law shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, deposit, premium or similar requirement against the obligations of a Lender, or (ii) subject a Lender to any tax, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than any (A) Taxes indemnified under Section 8.1(c), (B) Other Taxes and (C) any such taxes, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of Section 8.1(c) that are imposed with respect to payments for or on account of any Lender under any Related Document) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,

85 13625811v6 commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on a Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement, any Loan, any Bank Note, any Letter of Credit or any collateral therefor; and, in the sole judgment of the affected Lender, the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of entering into or maintaining this Agreement, any Loan, any Letter of Credit or with respect to its interest in its Bank Notes (which increase in cost in each case shall be determined by such Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event) then, not later than thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. To the extent not paid when due, such additional amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred by the affected Lender as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, including a description in reasonable detail of the event or events supporting said certificate, submitted by such Lender to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. (b) If, on or after the date hereof, any Change in Law either (A) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and such Lender determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of this Commitment (or similar contingent obligations), or (B) otherwise reduces or would reduce the rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved with respect to such Commitment but for such circumstances (taking into account such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy as in effect at such time) then, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall, not later than thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of such Lender’s commitment. To the extent not paid when due, such additional amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. A certificate as to such amounts and describing in reasonable detail the event or events supporting said certificate, submitted to Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. (c) To the extent permitted by Law, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Recipient hereunder or under any Bank Note, the Letters of Credit or the Loans, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding in the case of any Recipient (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income (however denominated), franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, and branch profits taxes of such Recipient, in each case, that are (A) imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the law of which it is organized or in which its principal office is located, or the case of a Lender, in which its lending office is located or (B) Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (A) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.18) or (B) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Lender's assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) taxes attributable to the failure of a Recipient to comply with Section 8.2 and (iv) any taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,

86 13625811v6 deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or with respect to a Bank Note, the Letters of Credit or the Loans then, to the extent permitted by Law, (i) the sum shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholdings or deductions (including those Taxes payable solely by reason of additional sums payable under this subsection (c)), such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such withholdings or deductions; provided, that if such withholding or deduction is required under the Code, the Administrative Agent shall make such withholding or deduction, and (iii) the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law. In addition, to the extent permitted by laws, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or Property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or any jurisdiction from any payment made hereunder or with respect to its Bank Notes or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or its Bank Notes, except any such taxes, charges or similar levies that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.18) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). If the Borrower fails to pay Taxes and/or Other Taxes (including Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this subsection (c)), required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs in accordance with applicable Law, then the Borrower will, to the extent permitted by Law, indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse any applicable Recipient for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this subsection (c)) paid by the Recipient or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Recipient makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis therefor. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of each applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Any amounts paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant to this subsection (c) which are subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent or such Lender from any taxing agency shall be repaid to the Borrower within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. In addition, if the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives any financial benefit (by tax credit or deduction, or otherwise) as a result of any payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to this subsection (c), an amount equal to such financial benefit (but not to exceed the amount paid by the Borrower to which the benefit relates) shall be repaid to the Borrower within thirty (30) days of the later of (i) the effective date of such benefit or (ii) the date such benefit is determined. This subsection shall not be construed to require the

87 13625811v6 Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. (d) If any costs specified in this Section 8.1 are to be incurred on a continuing basis and the Borrower shall be so notified by the Administrative Agent in writing as to the amount thereof, such costs shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower quarterly in arrears, on the same day any fee set forth in Section 2.11 hereof is payable hereunder, and such quarterly payments, if timely made, shall not result in any interest charge pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs. (e) Upon receipt of actual notice of any pronouncement, proposal, request or other event that could reasonably be expected to result in any Lender delivering a certificate for the reasons set forth in subsection (a) or (b) above, such Lender shall deliver prompt notice of such pronouncement, proposal, request or other event to the Borrower; provided that failure of such Lender to do so shall not in any manner relieve the Borrower or such Lender of their obligations under this Agreement, in general, or this Section 8.1, in particular. Section 8.2 Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation; Replacement of Certain Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Related Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower 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, the L/C Issuer or any 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 Pro Rata Share. 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. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment

98 13625811v6 and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.1 and 8.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the Borrower, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Bank Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 (d) of this Section. (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer may 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, with prior written notice to, but without the consent of, the Borrower, UL or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or L/C Advances) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, UL, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.5(b) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.7 that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.2 shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment

99 13625811v6 pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.1, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Related Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Related Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f. 103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. (f) Certain Pledges. 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, and this Section 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 such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (g) Disqualified Institutions. (A) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation, shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 8.9, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result

100 13625811v6 in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (l)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (l) shall apply. (B) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Related Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 8.9), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Related Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Related Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.9(b), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws and (iii) in the case of clause (B), the Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions. (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Related Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy

101 13625811v6 Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (D) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. Section 8.10 Survival of this Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the execution had delivery hereof and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any party hereto shall have any obligations hereunder or any obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders shall be outstanding and unpaid. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.13, 8.1 and 8.3 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 8.11 Waiver of Rights. No course of dealing or failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in exercising any right or power hereunder 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, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or an L/C Credit Extension shall not be construed as a waiver of any Potential Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Potential Default or Event of Default at the time. Section 8.12 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. Section 8.13 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Section 8.14 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Venue. (a) THE BORROWER, UL, THE LENDERS, THE L/C ISSUER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE,

THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. (b) THE BORROWER, UL, THE LENDERS, THE L/C ISSUER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREE THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK AND CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND (ii) WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT OR THEY MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH, ACTION OR PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. (c) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 8.8. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Section 8.15 Headings. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. Section 8.16 Integration and Effectiveness. This Agreement, the other Related Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Section 8.17 Entire Agreement.

103 13625811v6 Section 8.19 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan (including amounts owing under a Letter of Credit), together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Overnight Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Section 8.20 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.6, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party, (h) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (it being understood that the DQ List may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on this clause (h)), (i) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder or (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has

104 13625811v6 exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 8.22 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, or the Administrative Agent or a Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, judicial management or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. Section 8.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Related Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Related Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) the Administrative Agent has no any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Related Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or its Affiliates.

Section 8.24 Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Related Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each Loan

105 13625811v6 Party and each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and each Lender (collectively, each a “Lender Party”) agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor L/C Issuer is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent and/or L/C Issuer has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. Neither the Administrative Agent nor L/C Issuer shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Related Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or L/C Issuer’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Related Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Related Documents for being the maker thereof). Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Related Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Related Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. Section 8.25 UL’s Agent. UL hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Borrower to take such action and deliver and receive notices hereunder as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as delegated to it by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, for administrative convenience

106 13625811v6 of the parties hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall send all notices and communications to be sent to UL solely to the Borrower and may rely solely upon the Borrower to receive all such notices and other communications for and on behalf of UL. Neither the Borrower nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to UL for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of UL or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Person other than the Borrower (and its authorized directors, officers, agents and employees) may act as agent for UL hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Section 8.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Related Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Related Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Related Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. Section 8.27 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Related Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement 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 Related 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): 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

107 13625811v6 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 Related 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 Related Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. Section 8.28 Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.18, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b) and 8.1(c)) and obligations under this Agreement and the Related Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.9(b); (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Related Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.1(c), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and (e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 8.28 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

108 13625811v6 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.28 to the contrary, (i) any Lender that acts as the L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 7.6.

EXHIBIT E [FORM OF] FACILITY GUARANTY THIS FACILITY GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) dated as of June 28, 2024 is executed in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (“Bank of America”), individually and as Administrative Agent (as defined below) for the other Lender Parties (as defined below). W I T N E S S E T H WHEREAS, UL Solutions Inc. (formerly known as UL Inc.) (the “Borrower”), UL LLC (“UL”), various financial institution (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Bank of America, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, First Amendment to Guaranty and Borrower Assignment, Assumption and Release dated as of June 28, 2024 (as further amended, restated, extended, renewed, increased or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings hereto in the Credit Agreement); and WHEREAS, the undersigned will benefit from the making of Loans and other Credit Extensions pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to guarantee the Liabilities (as defined below) of the Borrower and the Obligations of Included Subsidiaries under Guaranteed Swap Agreements and Guaranteed Banking Services Agreements as set forth below; NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees as follows: The undersigned hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter of: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, and whether for principal, interest, fees, reimbursement obligations, indemnities or otherwise; (b) all Obligations of each Included Subsidiary to any Lender Party under or in connection with any Guaranteed Swap Agreement and/or Guaranteed Banking Services Agreement; and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in enforcing this Guaranty against such undersigned as and to the extent required by Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement (all of the foregoing obligations, collectively, the “Liabilities” of such undersigned). As used herein, “Lender Party” means the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Banking Services Bank and each Swap Bank. The undersigned agrees that if any Event of Default occurs under clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement at a time when the Liabilities are not otherwise due and payable in full (whether due to a judicial stay of acceleration or otherwise), then such undersigned will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount that would be payable hereunder by such undersigned if all Liabilities were then due and payable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to any of the undersigned (any such notice being expressly waived by each of the undersigned), and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff, to exercise any

banker’s lien or any right of attachment and apply any and all balances, credits, deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), accounts or monies of the undersigned at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender Party or Affiliate with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit to or for the account of such undersigned (irrespective of the currency in which such accounts, monies or indebtedness may be denominated and such Lender or Affiliate with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit is authorized to convert such accounts, monies and indebtedness into United States dollars) against any and all of the payment obligations of such undersigned, whether or not such Lender or Affiliate with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit shall have made any demand for any amount owing to such Lender or Affiliate with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit by such undersigned. By accepting the benefits hereof: each Lender Party agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent after any such setoff, exercise or application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff, exercise or application. The rights of each Lender Party and its Affiliates with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit under this paragraph are in addition to, in augmentation of, and, except as specifically provided in this paragraph, do not derogate from or impair other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender Party or Affiliate with an economic interest in Loans or Letters of Credit may have. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collectability, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding the dissolution of the undersigned, that at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and all Liabilities (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full. The undersigned further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party had not been made. The Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to the undersigned, take any of the following actions without affecting the obligations of the undersigned hereunder: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) extend or renew any of the Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities, (d) release any security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, any property securing any Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of obligor with respect to any such property, and (e) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the Liabilities when due, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities.

By accepting the benefits hereof, each Lender Party agrees that (i) any amount received by such Lender Party (other than the Administrative Agent) under this Guaranty shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent from whatever source (including any other Lender Party) under this Guaranty shall be promptly applied by it toward the payment of the Liabilities in accordance with the Credit Agreement and, notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not exercise any right of subrogation to any right of any Lender Party until such time as this Guaranty shall have been terminated as to the undersigned and the Lender Parties shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all Liabilities (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made). The undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by any Lender Party of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to any Lender Party is hereby authorized, without notice to the undersigned, and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of any Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Guaranteed Swap Agreement or any Guaranteed Banking Services Agreement (as applicable), any Lender Party may from time to time, without notice to the undersigned, assign or transfer any of the Liabilities or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent permitted assignment or permitted transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for purposes of this Guaranty, and every immediate and successive permitted assignee or permitted transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were an original Lender Party. No delay on the part of any Lender Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any Lender Party of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon any Lender Party except as expressly set forth in Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement. No action of any Lender Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of any Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. For purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all obligations of the Borrower to any Lender Party arising under or in connection with any Related Document, Guaranteed Swap Agreement or Guaranteed Banking Services Agreement, notwithstanding any right or power of the Borrower or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of the undersigned hereunder. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (a) this Guaranty has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on behalf of the Lender Parties. All payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the Administrative Agent (and any amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender Party shall, subject to the other provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed received by such Lender Party upon receipt by the Administrative Agent). This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned and the successors and assigns of the undersigned; and to the extent that the undersigned is a limited liability company or other entity, all references herein to such undersigned shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether

immediate or remote, to such undersigned. The term as used herein shall mean all parties executing this Guaranty and each of them, and all such parties shall, to the extent set forth herein, be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. The provisions of Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2 of the Credit Agreement shall apply with respect to Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, mutatis mutandis. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Whenever possible each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
